Author of good performances in the Summer League, LiAngelo Ball had failed to land a contract in the NBA. But that does not mean that everything is over for him, since he has just seized a new opportunity. And no, he won’t necessarily be far from his two brothers.
While LaMelo Ball prepares to embark on a good season with the Hornets, where he hopes to taste the playoffs, Lonzo is also doing well. He was finally able to leave the Pelicans, where he was no longer very happy. Instead, he landed with the Bulls, where his qualities will be highlighted in a very rich squad. Bodes well for the future, even if nothing is certain for the leader.
In the Ball family, all that’s missing is LiAngelo, who doesn’t have the same basketball talent. However, he was able to play with the Hornets in the Summer League, leaving a good general impression. All is not perfect, but he has had a few good scoring games.
New opportunity for LiAngelo Ball
That the scouts noticed. He failed to land an NBA contract, but some people withheld his name. Results ? The G-League is taking shape for him, as Shams Charania asserts. He signed a deal with the secondary league, and will be in the draft on October 23.

After playing for the Hornets in the Summer League, LiAngelo Ball signed a G-League contract. He will be drafted on October 23, where he could be a contender for the affiliate franchise in Charlotte, Greensboro.
A good opportunity for Ball, since the G-League has a “bridge” to the NBA. If the performances are there, then nothing will stop a team from giving it a chance. When we review its highlights in the Summer League, we tell ourselves that the talent is there:
LiAngelo Ball does not sign in the NBA, but it remains his ultimate goal. This signing in the G-League reminds us, even if the rear will have to prove himself before anything else. It’s up to him to make his talent speak now, it’s now or never.
