NBA History is made!
NBA History is made! LaMelo Ball may be having up and down games, but now is finding his consistency. Most notably last game, against the Hawks, when he was the youngest to average a triple-double.
Yep, you read that correctly. He is the youngest rookie player to average a triple-double in a game. The rookie point guard averaged 22/12/11 in just 31 minutes.
Now, this wasn’t the first time for Ball to be close to such an accomplishment. Two nights earlier, against the Pelicans, he was one assist short of averaging that triple-double. However, for what it is worth, he did beat his brother Lonzo that night as the Ball Brother’s first dual against each other.
Ball has replaced Markelle Fultz as the youngest NBA player to average a triple-double by 177 days. Both were 19 when they made history, however, Ball came out with the victory by 177 days younger than him.
High praises for LaMelo Ball!
Here is what the Hornet’s head coach had to say about LaMelo:
“I live my life and I know what I’m capable of, so stuff like this doesn’t move me like that,” Ball said. “I know that’s supposed to happen.”
Trae Young comments on LaMelo’s play style:
“He’s a tall PG who can pass, can rebound and he’s a smart player,” said Atlanta’s Trae Young. “Things are going to become even easier for him in this league as he plays more and more games.”
PJ Washington adds his thoughts on LaMelo:
“It’s tough because you don’t know when it’s coming. He might throw it behind his head, behind his back or straight to you,” joked Washington, who had 22 points and was on the receiving end of several of Ball’s passes. “You have to be active and aware when he has the ball. It’s always fun playing with a guy like that.”
