LiAngelo Ball, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, is apparently starting to gain traction ahead of the 2018 NBA Draft.

The 19-year-old forward told Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype that he already interviewed with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns, and that he'll conduct private workouts with the Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Golden State Warriors.

Ball also took part in three-on-three action and shooting drills at the Professional Basketball Combine before a dozen NBA scouts on Wednesday.

It's unclear if teams will take a flyer on the 19-year-old, who was measured at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-9 wingspan at the combine. He was only a three-star recruit coming out of high school and didn't play an official game with UCLA last season after he was arrested for shoplifting in China during a preseason promotional tour. Instead, Ball decided to go pro and played in Lithuania in preparation for the 2018 NBA Draft.
