A consensus number one pick? That’s a stretch; I’m sure James Wiseman and Anthony Edwards have something to say about that. Even if LaMelo Ball isn’t the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, it won’t matter. It looks as though the New York Knicks want him, or at least the media is making it out to be that way and we all know how big of an influence New York media has on its sports teams.
Despite missing the chance to scout him, they have all the footage they need to know Ball is a hot commodity in this year’s lottery and that he’ll more than likely be the best of his brothers.
