LaMelo Ball is the Charlotte Hornets’ once and future point guard, a razzle-dazzle rookie who quickly morphed into the team’s most important long-term player.
But Ball isn’t on the floor right now, due to a broken wrist that will keep him out more than a month. And in the meantime, Devonte Graham has a golden opportunity to remind us again how good he can be.
Graham tried on a superhero cape Sunday in Charlotte’s 101-97 home overtime loss to Phoenix and found that it fit except for the final button.
Graham scored 30 points, his most of this season.
