It looks like LaMelo Ball is the clear favorite to go #1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in next week’s NBA Draft. According to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express, Ball conducted an individual workout with the T-Wolves in SoCal today.

It’s unclear whether LaVar Ball was a part of this workout or not.

This year is a little bit different from past NBA Drafts in a sense that there is no clear #1 pick. Many believe that the top 3-4 prospects could eventually get chosen first overall. With that being said, that may mean that there will be more trades at the beginning of the draft.

If LaMelo Ball were to get drafted by the T-Wolves, he would have his work cut out for him. That franchise is no where near ready to contend. He would have a talented big man in Karl-Anthony Towny to work with, though. I’m curious to see how Ball’s game translates to the NBA.

If he is successful, it might pave the way for more players to skip college after high school, and choose to play overseas instead. We’ll see how the whole thing plays out. It should be an exciting NBA Draft for LaMelo and the Ball family.
