The youngest of the Ball brothers is scheduled to play professional basketball.

Not the NBA just yet, since he’s just 17-years-old, but overseas in Australia.

LaMelo will be skipping college altogether and playing pro ball for the Illawarra Hawks in the NBL.

LaMelo Ball has signed with the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian @NBL, he just announced on ESPN's the Jump. "My goal is to be the top pick in next year's Draft and I feel they can help me reach that goal," Ball told ESPN.
