Electric, vibrant, imaginative, different. LaMelo Ball is one of those players much needed in the NBA who offers things worth paying for a ticket. His performance at the start of this season has been remarkable, but the shadow hangs over him of being tied to a Charlotte Hornets team struggling to build a winning team around him.

Pure magic and flair. That's what LaMelo Ball brings to the competition, something many spectators fail to see. Charlotte Hornets is one of the smallest and most limited markets in the entire NBA. Its media impact is nonexistent, short-term competitive aspirations are very limited, and the chances for the general public to enjoy this genius are truly minimal. Nevertheless, the project has experienced a boost with Brandon Miller, and the most optimistic dream of surrounding the skillful point guard as he deserves.

- LaMelo Ball leads the NBA in points scored in the last quarter.

However, the prevailing mindset in the NBA is that LaMelo Ball should take advantage of these years to shine personally, progress as a player, and achieve a star status, even if he finds himself sidelined from the media and competitive mainstream. All of this will eventually lead to the possibility of joining a winning project in a few years. What seems evident is that Charlotte Hornets finds it challenging to sign good players and provide its stars with the competitive ecosystem they deserve. It happened with Kemba Walker, and everything indicates it will also happen with the youngest of the Ball brothers.
