The two Ball brothers have also been offered to some Japanese teams
Lavar told ESPN LiAngleo won’t transfer and instead will train for the NBA Draft. The problem is, most NBA personnel don’t see LiAngelo as an NBA prospect. Asked if LiAngelo was an NBA prospect, one NBA executive simply said, “No.” A second NBA scout said, “I don’t think he’s considered a prospect.” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski added this Tweet:Also been offered to french teams proA-proB. “Money is not the prblm but they want to play together, and will give exposure to the teams”

All of that begs the question: Where will LiAngelo ball next? One mid-major assistant coach reached out to ZAGSBLOG saying his school was willing to offer Ball a scholarship once he’s released from UCLA. But Lavar has said his son won’t transfer and will prep for the Draft. But if he’s given no assurances of getting drafted, will LiAngelo head overseas either before or after the draft? That could, in turn, help the Big Baller brand. Remember, Lavar was in China when LiAngelo was arrested because he was promoting the Big Baller brand overseas. It’s hard to imagine LiAngelo would agree to play in China given what happened, or that the Chinese government would want him there. So that could take away a major market for the Big Baller Brand. But playing in Australia or Europe or somewhere else might be an option…. Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter And Like ZAGS on FacebookBall will struggle to find a serious job playing pro basketball, including the G-League. @Mike_Schmitz projected him in high school as a small-ball stretch 4-man at the mid-major college level. Would make sense for Ball to find a scholarship at a lower level and stay in school.
