LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets both showed growth during the 2021-22 season, despite their disappointment losing in the play-in tournament for the second-straight season.
Ball led the Hornets to a 43-39 record, 10 games better than last season, while he improved across the board in all major stat categories and making his first All-Star team.
In 75 games this season, Ball averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.6 steals on 38,9% shooting from 3-point range — all career-highs.
LaMelo is on the brink of superstardom in the NBA and his play on the court and personality off the court proves that, as ESPN recently ranked Ball No. 5 on their ’25 under 25′ list.
