Markelle Fultz will interview with several teams at the combine, Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com tweets. The projected No.1 pick will meet with the Celtics, Suns, Lakers, Sixers, Kings, and Knicks.
You can find the odds that each of those teams has at landing the top pick here. The Kings are a notable inclusion to Fultz’s meetings, as they will hand their selection over to the Sixers via a pick swap should they land the No. 1 slot.
Here’s more on the upcoming draft:
- The Knicks will meet with Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan on Thursday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News passes along via Twitter. The big man is the 29th best prospect, according to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express.
- Jarrett Allen will meet with the Sixers are Thursday, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets. Givony pegs Allen as the 11th best prospect in the draft.
- Will Lonzo Ball‘s father cause teams to pass on the UCLA product? ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla doesn’t believe so, as Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News relays. “I doubt that will happen. I really do. The kid seems to be a great kid, an absolute delight to deal with and he was a great teammate. So that’s not going to be a big issue,” Fraschilla said.
I can’t stand his Dad already, and we don’t even know if his son can play at the NBA level yet.
Im sure he cares
Lavar should keep hurting his draft stock so my Knicks can get him
Why do you want Lonzo thought you’d rather screw up the Knicks cap room and get Holliday or Lowry instead of tanking
Ill take Lowry but realistically we got no shot at Ball
The next Jimmer is going to be Ball. Just wait and watch his ceiling is like a JJ Reddick. Could end up out of the league fast.
You are nuts, he’ll be Jason Kidd with athleticism and a jumper thats a first team all nba player in his prime. Prime Kidd from the Nets is the best floor general I ever witnessed
Jason Kidd was a lock down point guard, Ball struggled to guard anyone he was matched up against (esp Fultz) and he showed a lack of effort on defense. He collects stats but so did MCW. Even putting all the baggage aside, I still would take Fultz with the first pick.
Should have seen Magic in his prime.
Yes magic was a monster
Couldn’t any team’s legal team address LaVar’s presence and put him on notice for any unwanted activity surrounding his son?
Under what grounds?
Lavar is a funny dude man lol, gonna be fun hearing all his remarks
My hope is that Lonzo Ball stayed in California either with the Kings or the Lakers
