I was getting ready to post that video. Miller/Kon are nice, but this is LaMelo's team. Hes the engine. Hes like a mad scientist. Sometimes his experiments blow up in his face, but he also creates magic.

Agreed, and on that note it's time for a new LaMelo thread. One with a better title. Here's a suggestion: Welcome to the Show: The LaMelo Ball thread.

Rod Boone:
Since Dec. 18, commencing a string of 29 straight games Ball suited up in, his efficiency has been impressive. The 24-year-old is averaging 19.2 points, 6.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game while draining 40% of his attempts beyond the 3-point arc.
His 116 made 3-pointers during that span are tops in the NBA — the lone player to total more than 100 throughout that same timeframe was New Orleans’ Trey Murphy III — and helped the Hornets boast an 18-11 record. Overall, they’re 23-22 with Ball in the lineup, and have been better in the clutch at the end of games, although that remains a work in progress and an area to be tightened up.

Those period measurement stats are better than I thought they would be. Kudos to LaMelo for his improvement. Needs to keep getting better, using better judgement and (as noted in Boone’s article) tightening up late game performance.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
