LaMelo Ball, one of the top candidates to be picked No. 1 in the 2020 NBA draft, told Jalen Rose and David Jacoby of ESPN that he has spoken with the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks via Zoom.

The Warriors have the second overall pick in the 2020 draft, while the Knicks will pick eighth.

LaMelo Ball, of course, is the younger brother of New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball. The youngest Ball brother played in 12 games in the NBL in 2019-20 before a foot injury forced him to leave early. He has since declared for the NBA draft.

Melo averaged 17.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game in the NBL.

It would be pretty fun to watch LaMelo play on the Warriors next to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green and for head coach Steve Kerr. The Dubs finished the 2019-20 season with the worst record in the NBA, but they will be back in the playoff picture next season since Curry and Thompson are healthy again.

The Knicks, meanwhile, have been a walking disaster since the 2012-13 season, the last campaign the Knicks had a winning record and made the playoffs. The franchise is under new leadership in Leon Rose and Tom Thibodeau, but the roster in New York still needs a lot of work.

Some teams may be scared to draft LaMelo due to his outspoken father, LaVar Ball. LaMelo's defense and perimeter shooting are huge question marks as well, but he no doubt has a lot of talent.
