I think Ball does some nice things. He was my favorite prospect in that draft. I loved his game.
He has a great Bball IQ, but when I watch him play, I am mostly left uninspired. He seems to take open threes. He doesn't handle the ball as much as I thought he would. He makes smart passes, but doesn't put much force on a defense (outside of passing the ball up the court in transition) because he hardly drives nor gets to the line.
I don't like the fit if you added him to our current team, because you would just add another guy who pretty much spots up at the three point line. He shot the ball well this year, but I am not certain he would shoot better here (The Josh Richardson effect).
If we had a guy like Derozan, I think he would make better sense, but If you put him at SG with our current team, I think it does not move the needle enough for me.
Would love to see him hit though. I really like watching good/great passers.
