The Ball family were probably the only people in the basketball world to truly believe that LiAngelo had any chance of getting drafted in such a deep draft class. Criminal offenses notwithstanding, Gelo had no realistic chances of making it to an NBA roster based solely off the strength of his play. He projects as a volume shooter without an NBA-level motor, and it clearly showed during his freshman year at UCLA.

While Gelo got workouts with the Lakers and the Warriors, there was never going to be a chance that either team would use up a draft pick on a player with so many question marks.

LaVar Ball's dream of helping all 3 of his sons in making it to the league is now all but shattered. Big Baller Brand will not have the luxury of signing 3 homebred NBA stars for free now, and that could affect their business plans in the long term.
