Tracy McGrady says LaMelo Ball is ‘built for’ playing for the Lakers

People are always quick to wonder what a young star who plays for a small market would look like under the bright lights of a big market.

For LaMelo Ball, as ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith would say, ‘he’s box office.’ Yet, Charlotte isn’t quite considered that.

Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast and spoke out his career along with today’s game.

When asked by Sharpe who would be the face of the NBA in the next 10 years out of Ja Morant, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, and LaMelo Ball, McGrady was quick to mention the Hornets young star, with a caveat.
