Playing with a lob and post-up threat such as Williamson has made Ball’s game “very easy,” Ball said. “Whether it’s pick-and-roll or throwing lobs for him to go get it, he requires a lot of attention on the offensive end, so he frees up a lot of shots for the other guys, including myself,” Ball said. “It’s been a lot of fun playing with him on both sides of the ball.”
