LaVar Ball's at it again.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, the always confident LaVar said he believes his middle son, LiAngelo, would be the No. 1 overall pick over Duke star Zion Williamson if he was available for this year's NBA draft.
"Man, if Gelo was coming out, doing the thing, he'd be the first pick. This year. He'd be the first pick," LaVar said. "Can't nobody hold a candle to that boy ... (Williamson) can't hold a candle to that boy. Why? 'Cause he'll shoot his lights out. And he's stronger than Zion."
LaVar also guaranteed that LiAngelo - who went undrafted last year - will be in the Las Vegas Summer League and have an NBA contract by the end of the year.
