Ballo arrived at Gonzaga with the promising nickname of Baby Shaq. In his redshirt freshman season, he averaged 6.3 minutes per game in 24 appearances, but struggled on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. Although the can’t teach seven feet mentality applied to Ballo, he often struggled to corral the quick passes from Gonzaga guards into the post and was generally ineffective in his limited time.
