Draft Profile: LaMelo Ball
Posted: November 4th, 2024, 1:15 pm
LaMelo Ball
Strengths: Penetrates the lane well. Pretty good jump shot with developing range. Good vision. Should get steals. Good rebounder for his position. Good quickness.
Weaknesses: Pretty ball-dominant, so he is going to turn it over. Positional defense is so-so.
Scout's Take: Following a strong marketing campaign from his camp, Ball exploded up the draft boards. Couple that with legit play and talent, and you've got a guy vying for the #1 pick. Teams love his all-around contributions on the court and feel he can really elevate his game further in the right situation. There is some concern surrounding his agency, led by his father, who has raised some eyebrows recently with major foreign and pharmaceuticals investments...
