Since November 15th, LaMelo Ball is averaging 35.3/6.8/8.8/1.3/0.3 on 60.8% TS despite only averaging 4.5 FTA per game. He has finished with at least 34/5/5 in each game, that is the longest streak of 34+ point games by any player at any point so far this season.

The Hornets are 2-2 during this stretch. They have faced the Bucks, Knicks, Celtics and Wizards.

With the way LaMelo is playing right now he is definetly looking like he will make his second All-Star appearance. He also has the second longest active streak of 25+ point games in a row with 9. He is only second to Kevin Durant who currently has 14.

I felt like Lamelo was a little over-rated given how entertaining he is and how much Charlotte needed a feel good story. Not in a terrible way, just, you know, he had real flaws (which you'd expect in a guy that young) which people were brushing off. People seemed a little hasty to anoint him.

But it does seem like he's elevating his game in all areas.

I really do feel like the future of the league is in good hands even though it's going to make me sad as the current crop ride off into the sunset.

everyone thought he was overrated because no one watched him or wanted him to be good
