1. LaMelo Ball
One of the most controversial prospects in recent history, LaMelo Ball is the real deal.
Few players in this upcoming draft have the potential that Ball does. Already a phenomenal playmaker with an elite handle and incredible court vision, Ball will bring value to any team that picks him up.
He lacks no creativity with the ball in his hands. His unpredictable movement and sneaky athleticism make him a tough player to check. As he continues to increase up in size, he becomes even more difficult to stop.
Ball is currently averaging 17.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game in Australia. Though it’s hard to judge his competition, there is no doubt that these numbers are impressive for an 18-year-old.
The Warriors would have to make some adjustments to their lineup to figure out how Ball fits among a roster stacked with star guards. Perhaps he can be moved to the forward position or play a bench role until it is time for him to truly shine.
Regardless, there is a great chance that Ball is the most talented player in this draft. The Warriors would be silly to pass him up.
