Ball had already been practicing with the team, and we knew an offer was forthcoming. We haven’t seen him play consistently since taking part in father LaVar’s Junior Basketball League.
It’s not clear that this will lead anywhere. Unlike his two brothers, LiAngelo hasn’t really shown that he has the skillset to offer anything to an NBA team. This may well be his ceiling, but he might as well give it another shot and see what happens at this point.
