We’re almost one month away from the 2020 NBA Draft and even though some experts have looked down on this class because of the lack of an NCAA tourney and the regular exposure, the NBA Draft, combine, etc, there are still plenty of reasons to be looking forward to November 18, like finding out who’s going to take LaMelo Ball.
LaMelo Ball is projected to be a top-5 pick in this upcoming Draft and even though there are still some concerns regarding his efficiency, shot selection, and defense, he’s definitely got the upside to become a superstar.
That’s why one of the biggest stories of the year will be watching the younger son of LaVar Ball begin his NBA journey but as of today, there’s not a way of knowing who’s going to take a risk on him.
