Beijing time on November 16, according to US media reports, with one week left before the draft, league sources have already begun to speculate that the Minnesota Timberwolves will use the No. 1 pick to select LaMelo Ball. Because the Timberwolves already have an insider like Towns, Wiseman, the No. 1 pick, will look bloated if he joins the Timberwolves again. Instead of doing this, it is better to choose a defender, but this Melo Ball! Would it be a waste of the No. 1 pick to draft him?
When the name Ball is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is "Ball Daddy" Ball. This person is amazing, he has no real ability, and his hype skills are top-notch. I don’t know where the courage came from, but he actually said that when he was young, he could defeat Jordan alone. Now that he is old and has to compete with Jordan, Jordan seems very indifferent to all this, because there is no need to be familiar with such a person. However, Old Ball's reputation was established, and since then, Old Ball has been out of control in terms of hype. For example, he said that his son is the next favorite of heaven, that Los Angeles cannot win the championship without his son, and that his own brand bbb can kill everything in seconds, etc.!
Before Melo Ball participated in the draft, the old Ball also made a lot of hype, saying that my son can't go to the Warriors, the Warriors are not worthy of my son, and so on. Putting aside whether Ball can go to the Warriors, whether the Warriors can take a liking to him is also a question. I don’t know if the Timberwolves were deceived by the old Ball, and they chose Ball all the time! This is really a waste of the No. 1 pick. If it were another team, they might just skip Ball and choose someone else!
But having said that, the Timberwolves' management is indeed not very good, and owner Taylor is also very stingy. There was no development for Ball when he went there, and even Ball’s father was about to explode. Minneapolis has no commercial value at all, how can it be hyped in the future?
