LiAngelo Ball is not listed among the 69 players who will attend the 2018 NBA Draft Combine in Chicago between May 16-20.

Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania first reported the full list of attendees, which is headlined by Duke forward Marvin Bagley III, Texas Center Mohamed Bamba, Alabama guard Collin Sexton and Missouri swingman Michael Porter Jr.

Citing a source close to Ball, Lonzo Wire's Josh Martin reported LiAngelo was not invited but still intends to work out for teams privately before the NBA draft on June 21. He will also reportedly attend the Pro Basketball Combine at IMG Academy on May 22-23.

I wonder if LiAngelo wants to play ball as much as Zo and the youngest one.

He got in shape this year and showed some impressive play in Lithuania (whatever that means).

Playing ball doesn't seem optional, becoming a Laker doesn't seem optional. BUT some NBA players seem like they barely want to be there, it could just be his body langauge.

LaVar's an examplary black man we should be proud of. We're conditioned to think 'oh brother.. just be docile, don't scare the white massa' but fukk that shyt. He put them boys on the map, he put his family on the map, he challenged Nike and Adidas and Zo became a Laker.

I think some experience and great coaching, in a good system could be very beneficial for him.

Honestly, I'd like to see him come off the bench in LA as an LWO breh.. if only to show cacs that a black man can set a goal and achieve it (that being LaVar)

He would be a fringe 2nd rounder of course he wasn't going to be invited the nba draft combine.

baby, that was the old me
Lonzo was by faaaaaaaar the best ball brother. The chino hills engine. The D1 showout. The tallest, fastest, best shooting & most athletic one. And even he’s struggled heavily in the nba.:francis:


The other two might never even sniff a D league roster. Struggling at the equivalent of D3 hoops in Europe... Not everybody can make it , that’s just reality. :yeshrug:


Best bet, and what’s already been hinted, is for Lonzo to break out as a star, become a free agent & demand his brothers a NBA look for a contract.




:mjlol:
