2020 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Will LaMelo Ball be the No. 1 pick?

With the bottom eight teams locked into their spot in the draft lottery, the direction of the draft is starting to shake out.

3. Minnesota Timberwolves – LaMelo Ball, Guard, Illawarra Hawks

Laker fans were robbed of a chance at seeing D’Angelo Russell and Lonzo Ball together many years ago but a LaMelo Ball-Russell backcourt could be just as intriguing. They would certainly have some issues defensively but they would be a handful on the offensive end.

Both are capable of playing on the ball as well as off-ball. Both have incredible passing ability and can score at multiple levels. It would give the Timberwolves a strong backcourt of the future.
