Report: Lakers sent scout to watch LiAngelo Ball in Lithuania
Could another Ball Brother be heading to La La Land?
The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly sent a team scout to Lithuania to watch LiAngelo Ball play after he officially declared for the 2018 NBA Draft two weeks ago, according to 24sek's Donatas Urbonas.
LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, the younger brothers of Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, signed with Lithuanian club BC Vytautas in December.
LiAngelo was set to start his freshman year at UCLA before a shoplifting incident in China led the school to suspend him indefinitely.
LiAngelo's father, LaVar, has been vocal about wanting his three sons to play together for the Lakers, and claimed Lonzo won't re-sign if his brothers aren't on the team with him.
Through 11 LKL games, LiAngelo is averaging 14.5 points and 3.2 rebounds, while shooting 42.5 percent from three in 24.8 minutes. Many believe the 6-foot-5 guard is not high on NBA radars and could go undrafted in June.
