Draft Express has a couple good videos up on Ball and Fox from yesterday's game.

Does anyone else find it impossible to listen to these with the sound on? Just brutal music choices.
Geez, it is just one video of just one game, but ball looked utterly lost on defense. He has zero idea of how to play off a pick and basically didn't seem to care much.
I appreciate your candor of acknowledging "one video, one game".
Ball had a rough start heaving 3s especially. But, he came through when he needed to with some really timely plays.
He led his team to a win at Rupp, historically a difficult place to play, against the deserved #1 team in the country. Kentucky has arguably 4 players (Fox, Abedayo, Monk, who I think is their best player right now and Briscoe) who are better athletes than anyone except Ball on UCLA.
It took Ball a while to adjust to this type of collective athleticism that he has never faced before in a hostile environment, all the while playing all but 2 minutes of the game. His 38 minutes was more than any player on either team, as a freshman on a team with a bunch of upperclassmen. This is Ball's team, and he led them to a win.
And really, even if you look at the stat-line closely, he and Fox were not that far apart, despite the fact that Fox had a better supporting cast.
Ball and Fox are pretty close in my mind right now. Fox is an electric player, Ball is a winner.
