LaMelo, a flashy 6-2, 160-pounder with a sick handle and Stephen Curry-like range (that says range, not accuracy), is ranked in ESPN's Top 25 player rankings for the Class of 2019. Also a UCLA commit, he's seen as a first-round pick in early 2020 mock drafts.
Hypothetically, Ball is set to join UCLA in 2019. But he’s now in an ad for his own signature shoe, which (a) looks like a regular pair of basketball shoes got super into third-wave ska and (b) can now be preordered for $395 at Big Baller Brand’s website.
A Big Baller Brand spokesperson told ESPN’s Darren Rovell that LaMelo’s eligibility is up to the NCAA to decide. I have a funny feeling I know how the NCAA will decide. The NCAA’s website states that prospective athletes might affect their eligibility if they appear in a commercial or receive an endorsement before attending college. The caveat is that if the athlete is selected for the commercial for reasons besides their athletic talent, they might maintain eligibility. The company’s tweet specifically mentions that Ball is “the first high school player ever to have his own signature shoe,” so that’ll be a tough case to argue. I don’t see any way LaMelo ends up eligible to play college basketball if the Balls sell his shoe.
In conclusion, LaMelo Ball will not make the NBA and will not be able to play in college because of his dad.
