After Lonzo and LaMelo, LiAngelo Ball also hopes to make his hole in the NBA. For his debut in the Summer League, the Hornets player impressed off the bench.
While Lonzo will try to revive his career at the Bulls and LaMelo shines with the Hornets, LiAngelo will try to emulate his brothers in the near future. After a few failures in the past in the NBA, the third member of the Ball siblings got a chance with the Hornets in this Summer League: maybe his last to take a ticket.
Can he do it? Many are pessimistic, as LiAngelo is far from impressing, at least in the same way as his two brothers. However, this Sunday evening, we can say that he knew how to put himself in value for his first game on the side of Las Vegas.
As expected, Ball was with the Hornets when it came time to challenge the Blazers. The defeat is at the end, on the score of 93-86, but the offspring of LaVar left behind a nice impression coming off the bench. His statistics: 16 points at 5/10 shooting, including 5/8 at three points, in addition to 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

The Summer League is still long, while Ball will have to show that he can continue to do this kind of performance. If so, then he will surely have a chance at an NBA training camp.
First successful for LiAngelo Ball in Las Vegas, enough to make his brothers smile. We are waiting to see the rest, but we can say that it starts strong.
