The 2020 NBA Draft is viewed as being a weaker class than what the league has seen in previous years. There are two guards in Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball who are expected to be taken in the top-three, but neither has emerged as the clear-cut consensus No. 1 overall pick.
Ball spent the 2019-20 season playing for the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian National Basketball League. He averaged 17 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game last season. His play was enough to intrigue NBA teams enough to consider him a top prospect.
Something to consider, Ball did not shoot the ball effectively but that could improve with time. At 6-foot-8, he has great size for a point guard and is a dynamic ball handler and a flashy passer. With great quickness and athleticism, he has attributes that will help at the next level.
Heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, Ball is one of the top prospects. There is no guarantee where any player will be taken this year. Ball could be taken first-overall or he could slip. There are also teams that will consider trading up for Ball.
As we approach the 2020 NBA Draft, there will be rumors flying around regarding the top players. Here are four teams that should a major trade up for LaMelo Ball.
