Atlanta Hawks: Could LaMelo Ball and Trae Young Coexist as Guards?

I have been hearing rumors and seeing mock draft discussions that have Lamelo Ball getting picked up by the Atlanta Hawks with a lottery pick this summer. The 6’7 guard averaged17 points, seven assists, and seven and a half rebounds this season with the Illawarra Hawks in the National Basketball League.

He has gained an extreme amount of attention from the media not only because of his outspoken father, Lavar Ball but also because of his outstanding on-court abilities. Besides his tricky passing ability and ankle-breaking ball-handling skills, the 18-year-old scored 92 points in a high school game alone.
