Ranking LaMelo Ball’s top five games with the Illawarra Hawks

LaMelo Ball had many great moments and games during his brief time in the NBL. Here are his five best games with the Illawarra Hawks.

4. Illawarra vs. Brisbane, Nov. 3

Ball’s second meeting with Brisbane was a far more successful one individually, though it again came in a losing effort. He finished with 19 points, which was then a season-high, to go with nine rebounds, five assists and three steals.

He continued to struggle from range, going 2-of-7 beyond the arc, and finished 6-of-18 overall from the field. He did get to the line seven times, another season-high at the time.

It was the first time Ball had really looked comfortable from start to finish in a game. He had more than a handful of great passes and began flashing the potential of what he could be.
