What would make LaMelo Ball unstoppable?
With his 6’7″ frame and his crafty ballhandling, Ball is capable of creating his own shot. If he can take advantage of his height on a more consistent basis, he could make life miserable on the smaller guards tasked with defending him.
This past season, Ball shot 38.2% (34 of 89) on mid-range shots, as defined as those attempts from 15 to 19 feet from the basket. The further Ball was from the basket, the better he shot; from 20 to 21 feet away from the basket, he shot 45.5% (61 of 134). While Ball has solidified himself as a capable three-point shooter, an improved mid-range jump shot would make him an even more lethal weapon on offense.
