After recently severing ties with UCLA by pulling his son LiAngelo from the school, LaVar Ball has reportedly been exploring overseas options for both LiAngelo and his youngest son, LaMelo. Those options are slowly being revealed with reports that the Ball brothers have been offered to teams in different parts of the world as potential landing spots.

LiAngelo is 19 years old and was a freshman at UCLA, but he never featured in an actual regular-season game for the Bruins after being arrested for shoplifting in their preseason trip to China. LiAngelo is a 6-foot-6 forward but is not as highly regarded as a prospect as his other two brothers.
Meanwhile, LaMelo is still just 16 years old and is one of the most highly-touted high school players in the country. At 6-foot-2, he is a talented scoring guard with a quick release and terrific range, as Kevin Durant recently broke down.
It remains to be seen whether either of the two Balls can immediately be legitimate contributors to a professional team even if it is overseas. However, they likely won’t lack in suitors given the exposure their last name can bring to whichever team can land them.
