Lonzo Ball, the eldest of the Ball Brothers, is currently the starting point guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, having joined the Pelicans as part of the trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers.
While LiAngelo’s path in professional basketball is less clear following him going undrafted in 2018, LaMelo is viewed as one of the main prospects in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft, which will surely make him one of Roc Nation’s main athletes.
