Steady interior defender who plays with good initial quickness and adequate play strength. Ball can dart into gaps or hold the point against single blocks as a two-gapper. While he can handle hand-to-hand combat, he’s unable to sink a deep anchor and compete at a high level against double teams and down blocks. He’s an effort rusher with decent footwork but could become much more effective with better hand work. Ball has average upside as a rotational defender in an even front.
