The next in a series of Timberwolves rumors linking LaMelo Ball to Minnesota comes from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have clearly been exploring every potential option with the top overall pick. ESPN’s NBA Draft expert Jonathan Givony mentioned in his most recent article [subscription required] that some front offices around the league are working as though they expect Illawarra Hawks guard LaMelo Ball to be the first overall pick.

This is the one of many Timberwolves rumors to link Ball to Minnesota, with the first being Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman’s article in September.
