KG will be providing commentary for the 2nd quarter of the Pelicans game and it's not a trick. Kevin Garnett.

Hornets are such a disgrace, Ball will probably demand a trade in. near future.

Rosas was very close to drafting Ball over Ant, and was trying to trade the #1 pick, even in the final five minutes they were on the clock.

Ant is clearly better than Ball now. I often wonder how much of that is Ant, and how much of it is Connelly trading for Gobert and putting Ant in a winning situation? If we had drafted Ball and the Hornets got Ant, how much of the situation would be reversed?

For what it is worth, LaMelo Ball has also been brutalized by injuries. Regardless, his career has been pretty disappointing, stuck in Charlotte. They basically have reaffirmed every bad habit that he developed during his middle-school/high school days while wasting away his insane talent.

I underrateded Anthony Edwards coming out of the Draft (I am always skeptical of non-shooting scoring guards who are inefficient finishers around the rim), but I would have loved to see LaMelo Ball go to a real franchise. He has pretty much flatlined as a player.
