LaMelo Ball’s chances of being selected first overall in the NBA draft evaporated after he gave a startling answer during a pre-draft interview with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a New York Post report published on Nov. 15, 2025.
The report states that Ball’s reply surprised team officials so much that they removed the guard from consideration for the top pick.
The interview moment, described only as “shocking,” ultimately convinced Minnesota’s decision-makers to look elsewhere at No. 1, the story added.
