LaMelo Ball, the point guard for the Charlotte Hornets, is demonstrating an aggressive shooting mentality this season, despite facing challenges with injuries both personally and within his team. As the primary offensive driver, Ball has achieved remarkable shooting frequency, making him a standout player in the NBA during a tough year for Charlotte.
Currently, Ball is averaging over 30 points per game, making him one of only four players in the league to reach this scoring milestone. His shooting statistics reveal that he is taking more shots than any other player, with an average of 24.6 field goal attempts per game, including 13 three-point attempts. His shooting accuracy stands at 42.5% from the field and 34.6% from beyond the arc, which, while slightly below league averages, still showcases his significant offensive contributions.
NBA analyst Law Murray highlights Ball's exceptional volume of shots, noting that he leads the league in both field goal attempts and three-point attempts. This shooting style may be influenced by the offensive system implemented by Hornets' coach Charles Lee, who previously worked with Jayson Tatum, another player known for high shot volume. Ball's unique approach to shooting reflects his confidence and determination to capitalize on every opportunity, even amidst the challenges faced by the Hornets this season.
