Passing

If there is one thing that LaMelo Ball was nearly perfect at during the preseason, it was his passing. From behind back passes to Miles Bridges and Bismack Biyombo, to his insane bounce pass to Malik Monk for the bucket.

Ball dishes nearly perfect alley-oop passes and he even got Cody Zeller involved with a over the shoulder pass. a nice pass. He also threw a nice full-court pass that landed right in the bread basket of Bismack Biyombo.

Instead of telling you about his phenomenal passes, I’ll add videos of them below.

As you can see, LaMelo’s passing is pretty lethal for a NBA rookie. This is an area of his game that is getting a lot of Charlotte fans excited.
