Lonzo reposted the post that LaMelo had made. 

LaMelo turned 21-years-old on the day (August 22), and at such a young age he is already one of the best players in the entire NBA.  

He played this past season as a 20-year-old, and averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game.

In just his second season, he was named to the All-Star Game, and is very clearly the face of the franchise for the Hornets.

The Hornets missed the NBA Playoffs after finishing as the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference, and losing to the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament. 

As for Lonzo, he played his first season with the Bulls, and averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. 

The Bulls had been one of the best teams in the east at the start of the season, but Ball got injured and only ended up playing in 35 games (he also missed the NBA Playoffs). 

Status alert: Lonzo Ball (knee) will remain out for rest of regular season.

The Bulls still finished as the sixth seed, so they avoided the play-in tournament.

However, they lost in the first-round to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in just five games. 

DeMar DeRozan was also playing his first season with the Bulls, and he averaged a career-high 27.9 points per game (and made his fifth All-Star Game). 

Therefore, if the Bulls are healthy, they are a team to watch this season.
