Outlook: Ball gets his wish and lands with the Lakers as Los Angeles moves up a spot in the simulation. Ball made the media rounds once the season was completed. He is doing his part to vouch for his ability over Fultz's skills. "Markelle's a great player, but I feel I'm better than him. I think I can lead a team better than him," Ball told ESPN. "Obviously he's a great scorer -he's a great player, so I'm not taking that away from him." Ball is more of a traditional point guard than Fultz and does have the edge when it comes to court vision (this does not mean Fultz is not a great passer). Fans will find out in about two months what NBA teams think when it comes to choosing between the two prospects. (Getty)
