LiAngelo Ball still has his sights set on the NBA after going undrafted in 2018, though he appears to have different views than his family members on the best path to get there.

On the latest episode of "Ball in the Family," Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball was surprised to learn that LiAngelo would rather play in the G League than overseas. That led to a conversation between the brothers and Lonzo's longtime trainer and manager, Darren Moore, about which direction is better.

"Overseas, no, I kill any overseas. So, if I get into the G League, that's closer to the league for me," LiAngelo said (starts around the 19:50 mark).

"G League is different," Lonzo replied. "Boy, I'm telling you. That (expletive) is different. I'm telling you, if you go to the G and you get washed, then your overseas (expletive) going to drop 'cause they not going to take you ... They just write you off, bro."

As revealed in the preview for next week's episode, LiAngelo did receive interest from at least one overseas team, the London Lions of the British Basketball League.
