LiAngelo Ball has declared for the 2018 NBA Draft, his agent, Harrison Gaines, told Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.

The 19-year-old Ball has filed his early-entry paperwork and is reportedly expected to participate in the Pro Basketball Combine at IMG Academy in May in front of NBA executives.

LaVar Ball, LiAngelo's father, withdrew his son from UCLA in December to pursue opportunities overseas with LiAngelo's younger brother, LaMelo. The two signed with an agent shortly after and joined Lithuanian club BC Vytautas.

The 6-foot-5 guard is averaging 15.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and shooting 45 percent on 60 3-pointers over nine games in the Lithuanian league.
