It didn’t take long for fans to react to the Hornets selecting LaMelo Ball with the 3rd pick in the NBA Draft. Here’s what a few had to say.

MJ drafted Lamelo Ball strictly so he could get Lavar in a gym and whoop his ass in 1v1 and I can’t be convinced otherwise

Very pumped about Ball. He has star potential. There is risk but I think it is well worth it in our current situation.

With LaMelo going to Charlotte, Lavar and Mike can get that one on one gm. Who you got? #NBADraft

Terrible! Hornets love being mediocre. He will be traded in 2 years just like his brother was from LA. We need a veteran like a Hardin or Westbrook.

It feels crazy, but I’ve really warmed to Melo for the way he has matured his game – and the perception of it – while balling as a very young pro overseas. I’m happy Charlotte got him.

I was hoping we landed Wiseman with all the backcourt talent we already have. I think LaMelo has potential. I hope things work out.
