“Seems like a dad living through his child, tailored for a parent vs. child game,” one fan wrote.
“They need to get him a bigger jersey,” added another.
Others thought about the NBA G League as a whole.
“This is what I like to see the G-League do better and stand out better. There’s no reason why big names, especially Americans, aren’t getting more and more chances to make it to the NBA after college. Playing overseas is cool, but it’s different than the NBA,” they wrote.
Interesting Hornets team
Meanwhile, in the big leagues, the Charlotte Hornets are trying to find ways to field a competitive NBA team after failing to do so the past few years.
As mentioned earlier, LaMelo Ball has had a solid start to the year, but the Hornets have also gotten strong play from some of their younger players, including first-round draft pick Kon Knuepel.
Overall, if Ball continues to play at this level and the team’s defense improves a bit, it’s not hard to imagine Charlotte finding a way to compete for a playoff spot, given the current state of the Eastern Conference.
