Would anyone be even ok if the Wolves selected Ball. I just think he legit sucks. No shot, terrible defender, no leadership.

I know I'm down on Wiseman but I'll be ok on Wiseman. If the Wolves select ball ill freak

I want no part of LaMelo Ball. I don't see him becoming a winning basketball player and I think he'll be more flash than substance. If you want a couple highlight plays a game, then maybe he's your guy. If you're trying to build a winner, then you stay away and go elsewhere.

Ball doesn't defend. He doesn't shoot the ball well. He's not a great athlete. His handle is meh. He's not necessarily the smartest guy in the locker room. He does seem to have decent court vision and an ability to make difficult passes. And he's a good rebounder for his position thanks to his 6'7 frame. And he's 19-years old.

That's not a slam dunk draft selection to me. I think Ball has as much of a chance to be a backup in this league as he does to become an All-Star. And we aren't even acknowledging the LaVar Ball factor. Taking Ball first overall would be extremely disappointing.

He'll be the next Anthony Bennett.

He might be almost as Tall as Bennett and plays PG. he will get more chances and I mean it's honestly kinda hard to be as bad as Bennett was.
