London are going Balls to the wall

To be honest, a huge amount. There's nowhere else that will take him at this stage in the season which will be a higher standard and having a London base will always be good. I imagine now no Europe it will be a lot of released players, even those we haven't seen like Mullens. Is ball better than Ware? Does his shooting fit better with Justin's control of the game and liggins defensive presence?

It means nada but his wiki page has him as a london lion

Our luck is he will be announced in an hours time having been here isolating for a fortnight

Too long ago. Daddy's made up league doesn't count.
Not saying he wouldn't get one, but BE won't endorse him so it'd have to go to a Home Office appeal

That kind of thing isn't covered in the rules, but it's what a lawyer would bring up in an appeal. Whether Lions are willing to put in the time/effort/money is the biggie. What he needs to do is to play serious pro basketball rather than being part of a circus.

i was reading about the joke league his dad put together. One player lost out on the chance of going to college because he believed Ball's lies - he got paid $1,000

I think it could have been successful and showcased his sons. He just didn't care enough about it and made some really bad business decisions. There's definitely potential for a league - probably in the summer - for kids who don't want to go to college.

He's not like "any other American signing". He hasn't played professional basketball during the last 18 months. Being a training player doesn't count, because it doesn't really mean anything and is unverifiable. To get a Governing Body Endorsement he needs stats from an approved league during the last 18 months or to have played in the NCAA D1 or D2, so BE won't issue it. They aren't going to risk their ability to issue GBEs just to please the Ball family or one particular BBL club. the criteria is crystal clear, and he's not even close to meeting it.
I'm not saying that the Home Office won't listen to extenuating circumstances - though whether getting caught shoplifting or having a father who wants to do everything his own way will see them make an exception is open to question. Football clubs have gone through the appeal process and won, basketball clubs have avoided it because it's costly and - to be blunt - there's thousands of American players out there they can sign instead.

Mr tall id argue lavars model is working look at the ignite there's clearly a want for top prospects to be paid and avoid the ncaa!! If he had marketed right there would be alot of good mid major division players who may forgo atleast a season of eligibility to make some money and spray in some veterans!! I think the the thing is he needs to be playing basketball this will get him looks he can go to the g league and go look at me I've dominated overseas give me a shot!!

The real question is of course, is he actually a good enough player to take up an import spot??
Is he better than Dirk Williams?

Even with all the hype surrounding his family he still hasn't got a spot with a professional team.

Ignore that, I see Jordan Spencer had 32 and Dixon had a 20/20 double double.

You get more eyes Stateside on the Lions and LiAngelo. Then again he isn't LaVar or Lonzo so I don't know

Agree with a lot of the comments on here… what would have been a great signing a couple of seasons ago isn’t necessarily a great signing right now, for a number of reasons.
