Gary Parrish, who made the pick for the Golden State Warriors, called LaMelo Ball the “best playmaker” in the draft. Given his vision and length to go along with his height for a guard, Ball is a highly-coveted prospect.
However, No. 1 to the Warriors seems like a long shot as the Warriors have many other needs they should address. The player projected to be atop their big board right now is Memphis center James Wiseman.
Ball skipped college and instead went to play for the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL, a professional basketball league in Australia.
