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

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

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

@T_Rozzay3 : 32 PTS, 8 3PM, 2 STL

@MELOD1P : 28 PTS, 13 REB, 7 AST, 3 STL"
