The NBA draft is only a few weeks away and the Charlotte Hornets should be honing in on LaMelo Ball.

The Charlotte Hornets have quite a few options to pick up with their number three draft pick and LaMelo Ball is definitely an amazing option. Ball may be one of the best players in this year’s draft and he can easily elevate the Hornets to new levels.

Ball is absolutely amazing and was a high school basketball sensation. The Ball family rose to fame after LaMelo’s older brother Lonzo became a college superstar and joined the Los Angeles Lakers.

LaMelo looks to come into the league after choosing the professional route while playing for the Illawarra Hawks in the Australian National Basketball League. Ball played really well for the Hawks and even averaged 17 points per game with nearly seven assists.

Ball is my favorite option on the board for the Hornets and it seems he may very well fall the third pick. If this is the case, there are so many skills that Ball can bring to the table and can improve the team in several ways.
