LaMelo Ball is one of the most fascinating prospects in the 2020 NBA draft class. Here’s the Arizona Republic reporting:
LaMelo Ball is so strong-minded, he didn’t openly co-sign what his opinionated father, LaVar, said about three-time NBA champion Golden State being a good fit for him.
“My old man, he is his own man,” the youngest Ball brother said. “He has his opinions. I have mine.”
His skill set and abilities gives him the confidence to reject comparisons to other NBA players.
“I really don’t compare myself to nobody,” Ball said. “I feel like I’m myself.”
Yet this 6-7 gifted talent with scoring and playmaking ability repeatedly said during Monday’s 25-minute Zoom media interview he can blend with any team that selects him in the Nov. 18 NBA Draft.
“The winning aspect, I feel like with any team, I can play,” he said. “Put the best five out there, I can play.”
Ball isn’t lacking in confidence. And there’s nothing wrong with that. His fun style of play will be worth watching immediately.
