LaMelo Ball's NBA draft journey could be turning into a documentary.

Representatives for the 18-year-old are shopping a documentary series similar to HBO's "24/7" that would chronicle his road to June's draft, Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports reports.

The proposed documentary is said to be priced in the $2-million range and is drawing "definite interest" from sports television networks and media outlets, according to McCarthy.

Ball, the younger brother of New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball, is expected to be among the top picks in the 2020 draft. He spent last year playing in Australia with the NBL's Illawarra Hawks, averaging 17 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds on 37.5% shooting in 12 games.
