Ball and Gobert begin building Timberwolves connection
LaMelo Ball made his first official preseason appearance for Minnesota against Milwaukee as he and Rudy Gobert work on their on-court link-up.
LaMelo Ball made his first official appearance for the Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason road game against the Milwaukee Bucks, beginning work on a new partnership with centre Rudy Gobert.
A Yahoo Sports report said the pair are building their connection through lob plays. Gobert described the drill: “Give it to me, come up, hit, and roll again.”
Ball is expected to take on the lead ball-handling and playmaking role for Minnesota. The report says his scoring threat, alongside Gobert’s ability to finish near the basket, could create space for the team’s offence.
The report provides no score or individual statistics from the preseason game, and offers no independent measure of how well the pair’s chemistry is developing.
