There seems to be some miscommunication between the Big Baller Brand’s camp and the defending world champs regarding LiAngelo Ball.

Despite what the 19-year-old Ball told HoopsHype’s Alex Kennedy, the Warriors deny they’ve scheduled a private, pre-draft workout with the younger brother of Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.

LiAngelo told HoopsHype he’s already arranged private meetings with the Warriors, Clippers and Lakers before the NBA Draft on June 21.

The most respected scouting services and mock drafts don’t project Ball being selected in the upcoming draft. However, he was impressive Wednesday during the Pro Basketball Combine in New York, a gathering of players not invited to the NBA Draft Combine.

Warriors begin minicamp next week, Curry and Green unlikely to participate After leaving UCLA, Ball played professionally in Lithuania for 12 games before leaving after a dispute between his outspoken father, Lavar Ball, and the team. Still, the 6-foot-5 swingman was a three-star recruit out of Chino Hills High, where he led California in scoring at 33.8 points per game two years ago. That part of his resume could help Ball land an NBA camp invite and perhaps a spot on a G League roster in the fall.

For LiAngelo, though, there’s not as much uncertainty about his basketball career.

“I’m going to be a pro whether I get picked or not,” he told Yahoo Sports. “Whichever team that I end up on, I’m going to give it my all and go up from there. I want to show any team that can pick me up: I can produce.

“I can be a scorer, a shooter, and I can also play defense. I’ll play my hardest for anybody.”
