Michael Jordan: LaMelo Ball has exceeded our expectations so far this season

The Hornets are seventh in the Eastern Conference with 17 wins in 35 games

Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan talks about LaMelo Ball, the player who is reviving the franchise after a few anonymous seasons.


"I think Melo has adjusted to the NBA game better than any of us ever thought this early in his career," Jordan told The Associated Press in an email. "He has exceeded our expectations so far this season."


"Our goal is to build a consistent winner and have free agents look at our program, just like Gordon (Hayward) did this offseason," Jordan said. "It’s not just about Melo. It’s about our group of young, talented players, our coaching staff and our entire Hornets organization. All of those factors, along with Charlotte being a great city, will make us become a destination."


Ball is first among rookies in points (15.8) , rebounds (6), assist (6.3) and steals (1.6) per game.
