Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton, Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey and Houston Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate rounded out the squad.
Ball took the league by storm in Charlotte, averaging 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game for a Hornets squad that started to create some noise during the regular season.
The Georgia product was thrust into a leading role in the Timberwolves’ offense as the team’s other top scorers — Karl-Anthony Towns, Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell — all missed extended periods of time.
He posted 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game and even carried the team to victory a couple of times with his offense.
The Rockets went a league-worst 17-55 in 2020-21, but Tate made the most of his opportunity in his first year.
