Yep. Lots of questions about his ugly jumper, his mental makeup, and his screwy family. Ball could easily fall to #5, if not further. I think his floor is Detroit at #7.
If Ball falls to #5 I think the Cavs would look to deal the pick to one of two teams who reportedly have strong interest in Ball- Detroit at #7 or Néw York at #8. Another team to watch is Phoenix at #10, although they may not want to drop down that far.If,he's at #5 ,do you think the Cavs will draft him or just get the player they want.
Minnesota & Golden State are very unlikely to pick Ball. Both team are reportedly open to trading down, but it seems that teams, like Detroit & NY, have nothing that would interest them. Phoenix could offer up Kelly Oubre & the #10 pick, but I’m not sure how that helps the Warriors, with Wiggins already there.He's going top 3 so I wouldn't put too much energy into Ball falling to 5 scenarios. Too many teams ahead of us will take that trade down deal w/ a team like Detroit too.

Charlotte seems intent on picking a big guy, either Wiseman or Okongwu. Here’s my top 4, which could lead to a trade with a for Ball:
1) MIN- Toppin
2) GSW- Edwards
3) CHA- Wiseman
4) CHI- Avidja
Boston is also apparently trying to move up for Okongwu. #14 would be a long ways to drop however.
Ahh, I’d say the Kyrie deal worked out ok as we have Sexton to show for it while the C’s have nothing. I think we’ve all seen by now that Kyrie is a bit of a headcase, which makes him a fun fit with KD.Rule of thumb is to never make deals with Danny Ainge. Boston can go fuck itself.
We’ll see. Avidja is almost 6’10” now and teams like him more than many realize. I know the Dubs love him even if they don’t take him at #2. To the contrary, Ball’s stock has been slipping due to concerns about his mental makeup & ugly shot.No way he drops to #5. Avidja isn't going ahead of Ball.
If the draft were to play out like that, I think the Cavaliers would look to trade down. If that failed, I think they take Okoro, Okongwu, or even Williams before they would take Ball. Ball brings too much baggage and would likely stunt the growth of Garland.Sporting news mocking Ball to us today.

I wouldn't take him at five as stated before if the draft shook out this way. I would roll Okoro or Okongwu.

I'd take Ball if he was there.
