Three players dominated the conversation — James Wiseman, LaMelo Ball, and Anthony Edwards — but ultimately, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/carmelo-anthony-reveals-how-timberwolves-anthony-edwards-can-fulfill-lofty-michael-jordan-comparisons">Minnesota ended up taking Edwards.</a> And while that has proven to be an incredibly wise decision, Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry believes that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hornets-news-lamelo-ball-sets-new-basketball-record-but-in-another-continent">Ball, his teammate, could produce</a> similar results as Edwards if given the same opportunity.</p><p>While the Timberwolves went to work assembling a formidable team around Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, another first-overall pick, by trading for veterans like Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley Jr., transforming their team into a legitimate championship contender, the Hornets have largely wallowed in mediocrity since Ball’s arrival in Charlotte.</p><p>The Hornets have not reached the NBA Playoffs since 2015, five years before Ball was drafted, and although Charlotte came relatively close in 2022, the Hornets have been less than inspiring with Ball as their point guard. That’s not to completely blame Ball, though, as he was named Rookie of the Year over Edwards in 2021 and became an All-Star in 2022, a year before Edwards earned his first All-Star Game selection.</p><p>And while the last two seasons have been marred by injuries, Seth Curry said on Austin Rivers’ podcast ‘Off Guard’ that Ball can <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seth-curry-on-finals-mvp-summer-of-the-celtics/id1711438444?i=1000659446039" rel="noopener">still produce similarly</a> to Edwards, who led his team to the Western Conference Finals this year, and compared him to Devin Booker before Chris Paul was acquired by Phoenix in 2020.</p><p>“[If you] put the right team around LaMelo, he can be the best player on a great team,” Curry said.</p><p>“I’m agreeing with you,” Rivers replied. “I’m not saying it’s a LaMelo thing, I’m just saying for whatever reason it’s been, injuries, personnel, we have not seen the jump that Anthony Edwards has. They both came in the same year.”</p><p>Curry understandably continued to campaign for Ball, saying that if Charlotte had added the right complementary pieces around Ball and Ball had been able to stay healthy, he could win.</p><p>“He ain’t that far off,” Curry said of Ball. “It’s health and personnel. You put Rudy Gobert, KAT, and that team around — not the same people, but that type of quality of team around LaMelo…”</p><h2><b>Anthony Edwards vs. LaMelo Ball stats comparison</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Anthony-Edwards-and-LaMelo-Ball.jpg"></figure><p>While James Wiseman proved he was not ready for the NBA and has struggled with both the Golden State Warriors and Detroit Pistons, Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball have shown, to varying degrees, flashes of superstardom.

The now former Cardinal star was taken <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/meet-cameron-brink-the-sparks-no-2-pick-2024-wnba-draft">second overall</a> in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/stanford-womens-basketball-news-cameron-brink-declares-2024-wnba-draft-after-pac-12-title-loss-juju-watkins-usc">2024 WNBA Draft Monday night</a> —  just after the Indiana Fever unsurprisingly used their No. 1 pick to get Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark.</p><p>During the draft, Brink also shared a story about having a conversation with the Currys, particularly Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry, Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry, and the Currys’ mother, Sonya, who is also Brink’s godmother.  Brink said that the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player had some good words and advice imparted to her. Unlike Stephen, though, Seth did not seem too interested in giving words of encouragement based on Brink’s hilarious and heartwarming story at the same time.</p><p>“Right before I came here, I face-timed Steph [Curry] with Sonya, my godmother, and my mom, Brink said. “He said all these encouraging words, laughing with me. And we face-time Seth, and he hangs up immediately,” she added.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Right before I came here, I face-timed Steph [Curry] with Sonya, my godmother, and my mom.

Her excellent rebounding and fantastic rim protection are what she’s expected to deliver the most for Los Angeles, which finished the 2023 WNBA season just 11th in the league in both rebounds per game (31.5 ) and blocks per contest (2.9). Los Angeles, which has not been to the WNBA Playoffs since 2020, managed to come up with just a 17-23 record, which was good for only ninth overall in the league.</p><p>The Sparks can count on Brink to provide them with those once she gets into a rhythm in the pros. After all, Brink was named the 2024 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year in her final year in college. Moreover, the 6-4 Brink is a three-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Her defensive acumen and general feel for the game on both ends of the floor should translate well into the WNBA.</p><p>Offensively, Brink can also be relied upon by the Sparks. In her final season with Stanford, Brink averaged 17.4 points on 51.1 percent shooting from the field. She has limited range, having shot just 30.4 percent from behind the arc last season, but she’s deadly inside the 3-point line. Brink finished her college career with a 56.2 percent success rate on 2-point shot attempts.</p><p>Stanford women’s basketball fans will also be thrilled to see Brink play alongside another Cardinal great in the form of Nneka Ogwumike, who was the Sparks’ leading scorer (19.1 PPG) and rebounder (8.8 RPG) in 2023.</p><p>Armed with sound advice and encouragement from Curry and elite skills, Brink is hoping that she will live up to the hype.</p><h2><b>Stephen Curry watches Cameron Brink get drafted by the Sparks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Cameron-Brink-Sparks-at-the-2024-WNBA-Draft.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>One of the first people to <a href="https://twitter.com/allday_ajking/status/1780022116722630806" rel="noopener">greet and congratulate</a> Brink after the Sparks mentioned her name on draft day was no other than her godmother, as Sonya Curry was in attendance at the event. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry also showed that he was following Brink’s big day from a distance, with the Warriors star posting the following on Instagram Story:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Steph Curry posted this video on his Instagram story, supporting Cameron Brink while watching the WNBA draft coverage.
