Lonzo Ball

One player who is not a “franchise” player per se, but would be intriguing in Charlotte, is Lonzo Ball. This move is not imminent as Ball has performed well with the Chicago Bulls. However, when it comes for the Hornets extending LaMelo Ball, adding the elder Ball brother may be a nice move to secure the younger Ball’s services.

Lonzo Ball would be a good fit in Steve Clifford’s system and would be a nice role player for the Hornets. It would be neat to see Lonzo and LaMelo both play on the same team. Lonzo has had durability concerns, but fans would certainly be intrigued to see how this move would work out for the Hornets.
