Breaking down why the Knicks should be cautious in trading up for LaMelo Ball.
As the 2020 NBA Draft approaches, LaMelo Ball recently indicated that he has only granted two teams a pre-draft interview: the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks.
While the Warriors hold the second overall pick, it is a bit odd for the Knicks to be the only other team to have interviewed the top prospect as they own the 8th pick and Ball is projected to be drafted no later than where the Warriors pick.
