During LaMelo Ball’s brief time in the NBA, he has quickly gained a reputation for being a willing learner. Multiple teammates and head coach James Borrego have noted his eagerness to ask questions and learn the game at a greater level.
More than simply asking questions, though, Ball has expressed an equal willingness to make improvements to his game. Bismack Biyombo, who has been one of the closest teammates to Ball, recently talked about Ball’s desire to not only ask questions but implement those changes into his game.
“I think probably asking more questions and understanding the game a little more,” Biyombo said. “Because when you play overseas versus the NBA, it’s two different types of basketball. I think he’s really good at picking up things fast and implementing them into the game.”
There is a notable difference between a player willing to ask questions and take advice and a player that is willing to make those changes to his game. Ball not only showing a desire to ask questions but to also use those answers to improve his game is a trait that will only allow him to continue to improve.
