LaMelo Ball is the most intriguing prospect in the 2020 NBA Draft. Here are some pros and cons the Golden State Warriors need to consider.

A few years ago, LaMelo Ball became an internet sensation for scoring 92 points in a high school game and a video of him pulling up from half court went viral. Now, he is one of the top prospects in the 2020 NBA Draft and could find himself playing for the Golden State Warriors next season.

Ball’s journey to the NBA has been a peculiar one. Following some controversy created by his older brother and father, Ball elected to play overseas rather than for the NCAA. This surely affected his draft stock and reduced the number of people that paid close attention to his development.

This means that plenty of people missed the beast that Ball has become. He had a great first season in the NBL, winning the Rookie of the Year Award. With his eyes set on the NBA Draft, the Warriors may be willing to take a chance on the young prospect.

Ball comes with plenty of ups and downs. Today, we are going to analyze the pros and cons of the Warriors drafting LaMelo.
