The New York Knicks appear to have their eyes set on LaMelo Ball in the upcoming draft.
As the New York Knicks search for an elusive franchise point guard, lottery prospect LaMelo Ball is “unequivocally” ranked atop their draft board, according to the New York Post.
Ball played point guard for the Australian-based National Basketball League (NBL) this past season. While considered a generational passer, some question his playmaking ability and whether he would be best served playing as a facilitator who isn’t the primary ball-handler.
