Once LaVar Ball found out that LaMelo was hurting his draft stock by leaving Chino Hills High School and going overseas, that’s when his youngest son made the move to Spire Academy in Ohio.
(via VladTV):
“The narrative was like, ‘We’re not gonna pick Melo in the NBA if you got him out of high school LaVar. Because then the narrative looks like he was a dropout, and we drafted him. We ain’t drafting no dropouts.’”
