LaMelo Ball’s Maturity on the Court
LaMelo Ball is turning heads with his evolved gameplay, showcasing a maturity that is reshaping his role with the Charlotte Hornets. This season, Ball is not just about flashy plays; he’s demonstrating a deeper understanding of the game, focusing on winning and controlling the court. His ability to get to his preferred spots and make strategic plays is a testament to his growth. This shift is evident in his increased trips to the foul line and his improved decision-making, which are crucial for any player entering their fifth NBA season.
Miles Bridges, one of Ball’s closest teammates, has noticed this transformation.
