It has been a season of continuous disappointments for the Michael Jordan-owned Charlotte Hornets. Not only did the Hornets finish second-last in the Eastern Conference with a 27-55 record, but the team also ended up with the 2nd pick in the upcoming draft. This will most certainly see them miss out on generational talent, Victor Wembanyama, in the 2023 NBA draft. While things aren’t looking great for LaMelo Ball and Co. on the court, the 21-year-old is certainly flourishing in life off it.
Hornets star LaMelo Ball had his best season from a scoring perspective so far. Ball averaged 23.3 PPG, 6.4 RPG, and 8.4 APG on a true shooting percentage of 54.1%. Unfortunately for Ball, his season was cut short due to an ankle injury. Nonetheless, he seems to be winning off the court.
