LaMelo Ball is one of the most popular players in the NBA.

The 2022 All-Star is coming off a season in which he averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 43.3 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three-point range in 22 games.

Right now, the only thing that seems to be holding him back is his health.

Rozier was teammates with Ball for parts of four seasons before being traded to the Miami Heat midway through last season.

Even though the Hornets weren’t a good team, they had a talented rearguard capable of scoring a lot of points on any given night.
