Ball was the second pick in the 2017 NBA Draft after one year of college basketball.
He had been seen as a potential face off the Lakers.
That said, the franchise signed LeBron James ahead of his second season (and he was later traded to the New Orleans Pelicans as part of the Anthony Davis deal).

Following the Lakers and Pelicans, Ball spent time with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.
He is coming off a year where he averaged 4.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 30.1% from the field and 27.2% from three-point range in 35 games for the Cavs.
