Ball was drafted second overall in 2017 but made a name for himself in high school when he played alongside his brothers LaMelo and LiAngelo. The Ball brothers all came onto the basketball scene together, and their success as a family has been a fantastic story.

Powell prognosticated before the season started that other players could step up and fill the void left by Paul George.
