James Borrego praises LaMelo Ball: “Fantastic young player, he energizes our group”

Ball flirted with a triple-double last night

Charlotte Hornets head coach James Borrego had good words to say about rookie point guard LaMelo Ball after the win over the Pelicans. Ball was one assist away from becoming the youngest player ever to record a triple-double in the NBA as he posted 12 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

“That’s kind of what we expect of him,” Borrego said about Ball. “It’s like he’s done this before, he’s been there before. He’s not fazed by the moment. I’m just proud of him. He’s a fantastic player. He energizes our group. He brings us great confidence, a swagger that we need, at times. I thought he was fantastic tonight.”
