Since November 15th, LaMelo Ball is averaging 35.3/6.8/8.8/1.3/0.3 on 60.8% TS despite only averaging 4.5 FTA per game. He has finished with at least 34/5/5 in each game, that is the longest streak of 34+ point games by any player at any point so far this season.
The Hornets are 2-2 during this stretch. They have faced the Bucks, Knicks, Celtics and Wizards.
With the way LaMelo is playing right now he is definetly looking like he will make his second All-Star appearance. He also has the second longest active streak of 25+ point games in a row with 9. He is only second to Kevin Durant who currently has 14.

A lot of people are going to reply with the sample size, but I feel like this post is a response to the multiple posts about him doing poorly after the first five games. Either way Lamelo has been playing well and it looks like he is adjusted now. We also finally got back 2/3 of our roster after being down nearly half of our roster early on so hopefully that translates to more wins.
