LaMelo Ball’s FIRST NBL game for the Illawarra Hawks! The Hawks struggled against Melbourne United but they’ll def be good with some time. This was a preseason game anyways, so more about building team chemistry.

Melo started off in some foul trouble but still managed to hit two threes in the first half plus a snagged a couple assists. He racked up more fouls in the second half so he sat the whole 3rd quarter. In the 4th quarter he did this thing though!!! He had a couple nice floaters and drives to the basket, and had a DOPE move where he split the defense and finished at the rim. LaMelo proved he can play with the best!! He had 14 points in the game.

Stay tuned for more Hawks and LaMelo highlights!!
