If he came here to be mostly off ball and then get his secondary team when Luka sits, the likelihood becomes less. However, Lowry doing that same thing might decline his value too. On the flip side, it could extend his aging career, who knows?
Actually I think Ball is more valuable as the secondary playmaker. He is already a very good high volume off ball shooter. He is a great transition PG and a great secondary facilitator. I think he would be a perfect fit with Luka, taking the ball up the floor in transition, and then playing off ball when Luka does his thing in the half court. Then, if Luka gets doubled he is perfectly suited to take advantage of the temporary 4 on 3 situation. Part of the reason the Pels are willing to let him go is that he is not a pure point guard.
