It is highly unlikely that either of these teams will use a draft pick on him, but they might be looking for talent to put on their summer league rosters.
LiAngelo, who is the younger brother of Lonzo Ball enrolled at UCLA but didn't last long on the basketball team. He was accused of shoplifting while the team was overseas in China. He was suspended for the year, and instead of serving his suspension his dad LaVar pulled him out of school.
LiAngelo and his younger brother, LaMelo ended up going over to Lithuania, before they got hurt and their dad brought them back over to the states.
The best case scenario at this point seems for LiAngelo to play on a summer league team and impress enough, that he could maybe make a G League team. Jeff Goodman who has followed the Ball's recently was on SportsCenter to talk about why LiAngelo won't be drafted:
“Ultimately NBA people feel that, again, he shoots the ball well. He has good size. But he cannot put the ball on the floor, and he doesn't defend,” Goodman said. “Not a great athlete, and then you also have the LaVar factor that comes into play. Most NBA people that I've spoken to feel that he will have a pretty good career over in Europe, but he is not an NBA player, will not be drafted this year.”
