Philadelphia 76ers general manager Bryan Colangelo seems willing and interested in meeting with UCLA guard Lonzo Ball prior to the NBA draft on June 22.
"It's certainly something that we would like to arrange with Lonzo," said Colangelo to CSN's Jessica Camerato.
Philadelphia is set to pick third in the upcoming draft. Guards Markelle Fultz and Ball are widely expected to go No. 1 and No. 2 overall to the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, respectively.
Much of the pre-draft talk surrounding Ball has been about his - and his father's - preference that he play for the Lakers. In late May, however, the 19-year-old was reportedly still open to working out for the Sixers.
