I think I’ve (met) with just two teams, the Knicks and Warriors. That was just like a little Zoom call.”, LaMelo Ball said on ESPN.

LaMelo Ball is considered as one of the top prospects for the 2020 NBA Draft. There is no doubt that he will be a top 5 pick in this year’s draft.

The Warriors have the No. 2 pick in the draft, while the Knicks have the pick No. 8. If the Knicks want Ball, they will certainly have to trade-up in this year’s draft.

The 2020 NBA Draft is scheduled for November 18. Due to the pandemic teams were prohibited from hosting in-person interviews with prospects but it’s likely to change. According to ESPN, teams will be permitted to host meetings with prospects ahead of the draft.
