“Where we at, I feel like we are all growing together,” Ball said. “I think it’s just a great position, and I think we are all going the right way now. All my years here, I’ve had a good time. Life wasn’t bad. The basketball aspect, if that’s not really going well, then you want to just live your life and have fun. You want to be living well, and in Charlotte, I’m doing that. It all just felt like a great choice.”
