Ball to join brother at UCLA

Back in January of 2014, Lonzo Ball a five-star point guard from the class of 2016 selected UCLA. Since then, it has been expected that his class of 2017 shooting guard brother LiAngelo Ball would join him.

Sure enough, on Tuesday morning Rivals.com confirmed that the younger Ball brother had indeed selected Steve Alford and the Bruins.

A three-star prospect himself, the younger Ball brother is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard at Chino Hills (Calif.) High who teamed with his older brother to win a state title in 2015.

With good strength to go along with his 6-foot-5 frame, LiAngelo is a well built wing who loves to get shots up from the perimeter. One of those guys who has supreme confidence in his shot, Ball has no problem letting them fly from deep and when he gets on a roll from three-point land he is capable of putting up big numbers in a hurry.

UCLA's first commitment from the class of 2017, Ball will be one of those guys who gets into a game and lets shots fly. If he comes out hot, he'll play minutes. If he comes out cold, it will be on to the next game. As Ball rounds out his ball handling and overall offensive game, he can certainly play a bigger and more versatile role.
