5. New York Knicks

From a needs standpoint, it makes perfect sense. However, the Knicks may go in a different direction. Ball and Kristaps Porzingis seem like a tempting tandem to fantasize about, but, in the end, they may make a push for someone else. It would be a perfect Knicks move if they passed on someone as talented as Ball.

Regardless, this seems like the team that should take him, but Phil Jackson may go another route, and the Knicks may make a huge mistake.
