LaMelo Ball Heads Down Under To Play In The NBL

Lonzo had a spectacular time at UCLA but hasn’t sold everyone in the NBA and was traded from the Lakers to the Pelicans this past weekend, much to his father’s displeasure.
Middle brother LiAngelo followed Lonzo to UCLA where he went to China and was caught shoplifting. He was lucky not to be in a Chinese prison for several years. He was never as talented as his brothers and wasn't likely to have a pro career (and still isn’t).
