LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets might be on the verge of the most important season of his career.

Many people say the stakes couldn’t be higher, but Ball doesn’t seem to mind.

Speaking about expectations and pressure, Ball said it doesn’t cross his mind.

“I don’t really have no pressure. Like I said, I just go in, play and try to get as much wins as we can and do as best as you could,” Ball said.

That is a good outlook for the young star, and it should help him score a lot in the new season.

But the Hornets need him to do more than just score, because they also want him to lead the team in new and important ways.

Ball has been at the center of the Hornets for all five years of his career, and he has shown great skills.

However, the team keeps missing the mark and hasn’t transformed into a real threat in the East.

Fans want to see something different this year, and they believe Ball will be the cause for growth within the team.

They want to see him be a leader and guide his fellow teammates.

Ball has averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.4 assists during his years with the Hornets, but those numbers may not keep him safe.

If Charlotte has yet another disappointing season, there could be talk of him leaving the team.

At this point, the Hornets have to show something different, or else some drastic things may happen in the offseason.

It’s plain to see that a lot is on the line for the new season, but Ball isn’t thinking about it.

Instead, he’s just trying to be the best point guard possible for his squad, no matter what the future holds.
