LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 29: LiAngelo Ball #2 stands on the court as he listens to head coach Luke Walton of the Los Angeles Lakers during the Los Angeles Lakers 2018 NBA Pre-Draft Workout on May 29, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

LiAngelo Ball won't take no for an answer.

The middle child of the three Ball brothers still believes he'll one day end up as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers alongside older brother Lonzo.

"Yeah, I will. Probably later. I think I will," Ball said to TMZ Sports while walking through Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday.

Ball took part in a workout with the Lakers a month prior to the NBA Draft, but it was reported shortly thereafter that the franchise had zero interest in either drafting or signing the 19-year-old prospect.

He ultimately went undrafted, and hasn't been picked up to join a Summer League roster since.

After withdrawing from UCLA following a shoplifting incident in Shanghai, China, Ball headed to Lithuania to average 12.6 points in 21.2 minutes for BC Vytautas.
