#2 His assist and rebound totals are great
Focusing on his assists once again, we look at the totals per game coupled with his rebounding ability for a point guard. Through the first 20 games of Ball's career, he's averaging 7.1 APG and 7.8 RPG.
The assists rank seventh in all of the NBA with James Harden leading the way at 9.8 APG. An even better stat is the rebounding. Among point guards, he is third in the league trailing only Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons (who happens to qualify at point guard, small forward and power forward currently).

A slight improvement across the board for Ball means he could be close to averaging a triple-double. The only stat that is truly lacking is points per game where he only has 8.7. For comparison's sake, he averaged 14.6 PPG at UCLA.
