The NBA Summer League is here in full force! As usual, the youngsters are fighting for roster spots, and the veterans and stars on their respective teams have flocked to the arena to watch the games. The Charlotte Hornets have a big name on their Summer League roster and it's LiAngelo Ball, the brother of star and prized Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball.
LiAngelo was set to make his debut for the Hornets Summer League squad and noticed his brother sitting courtside, ready to cheer him on.

While some may think signing LiAngelo is a publicity stunt, there is a shot he cracks the Hornets roster. But, it is always nice to get some support from your brother– and teammate– and the two have played together in the past as well when they were in high school.
The other Ball brother, Lonzo, just inked a huge contract and is headed to the Chicago Bulls. Can all three Ball brothers end up on an NBA roster when the season rolls around?
LiAngelo got off to a good start and made a jumper early on in his Hornets debut.

Surely, LiAngelo will need a good Summer League showing to be able to snag a spot on the Hornets, and that certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Get ready to watch LiAngelo showcase his skills, and he could very well end up on the team after all.
