‘Virtual Fan’ Scottie Pippen Believes LaMelo Ball Should Be The #1 Pick In The NBA Draft

NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen thinks very highly of LaMelo Ball.

On Friday night during game 3 of the Sixers-Celtics playoff series, the Chicago Bulls legend served as a virtual fan in Michelob Ultra’s #UltraCourtside section.

We were able to sit with Pippen at Michelob Ultra’s virtual fan section where he talked about how he felt the Minnesota Timberwolves, who won the draft lottery earlier this week, should draft Ball #1 overall in the upcoming NBA draft.

I’m going to be honest, I think it’s going to be LaMelo Ball, I really do. I think just because his dad has stayed out of the way, he looks composed. We’ve watched this young man for the last couple of years. He’s a very handsome young man and solid on the basketball court. I think he’s going to be the player. I’ve interviewed with him on “The Jump”, he speaks very intelligently, I think he’s going to surprise people. I think he has the leadership qualities to into a team like Minnesota and help bring them to life. I think this young player will be a player that fans and young men and women can follow and love and adapt his style of play.

Scottie’s analysis seems pretty spot on considering many, including ESPN NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony, have LaMelo going #1 overall in the upcoming draft.
