NBA GM: LiAngelo 'not on any of our scouting lists'

LaVar Ball has pulled his second son, LiAngelo Ball, out of UCLA, and says the plan is for the now-former Bruins freshman to begin preparing for the 2018 NBA Draft.

From the sounds of it, though, LiAngelo has a ton of work to do if he wants to get onto the NBA radar.

"He's not on any of our scouting lists," one NBA general manager told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "Even the extended lists."

LiAngelo, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball, did not play a single game for UCLA. Before being pulled out of school by his father, he missed the beginning of the season due to his arrest and detention for shoplifting during the team's trip to China.

Without a season of college ball to change NBA scouts' perception of him, the younger Ball will be hard-pressed to convince teams to give him a look in the lead-up to the draft.
