LaMelo Ball on going No. 1 in NBA draft: 'I'm born for this'

LaMelo Ball's sales pitch on why he should go No. 1 in 2020 NBA draft is simple.

"I feel like I'm born for this," Ball declared during Tuesday's media availability.

The projected top selection also confirmed that he did conduct workouts in front of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons throughout the pre-draft process. The New York Knicks also talked to him on the phone, he said.

Currently, Minnesota is set to pick first, Golden State second, Charlotte third while the Pistons hold the seventh spot.
