According to Yahoo Sports latest mock NBA draft, LaMelo Ball has moved up to the first spot, where he is likely going to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the same mock draft by Krysten Peek, the Portland Trail Blazers would end up with power forward Precious Achiuwa. What makes the young Ball an appealing draft prospect besides his experience with the Illawarra Hawks in Australia?
At 6-foot-7, he handles the ball well and is a great facilitator on offense. Ball’s biggest knock is his on-ball defense and his shot selection.
