Lonzo Ball has showed me he is the best overall freshman PG in the draft!
I would take him at numero uno, let alone if he fell to us at 4 or 5. I don't care if other teams are scared of his dad. He's a moron. If it's true that he doesn't even like his dad butting in, then he'll let his play dictate where his career goes and not his dad.
God please let us get someone mega, for once. No, Melo is not Mega.

Lonzo Ball is the most over-rated player in this draft and maybe in the past few drafts (see J-Okafor and D-Russell as examples).
I don't think the body, the athleticism or the offensive game truly translate to the Pro's as some type of STAR player.
I don't like Fultz either -- to me he looks like PG Melo.
I would go Jackson, Fox, Tatum, Monk, Ball -- in that order. I'd take the chance Monk could convert to a Westbrook like PG before going for Ball but I am on a Island by myself in this regard.

He's NOT a top 3 player in this draft.
I think for Ball to work at the next level, he'll need an uberly athletic 2 guard like Victor Oladipo that can cover similarly athletic point-guards and who can get deep penetration on offense. If we can do that, I'm all for taking Ball in this draft. I think he can be something of a Goran Dragic with Deron Williams' physique/physical qualities.
