Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are reportedly signing representation agreements with Roc Nation Sports, Jermaine Jackson, the manager for LaMelo, told Jonathan Givony of ESPN.

Jackson told ESPN that it was a family decision for the brothers to sign on with Roc Nation, which was launched in 2013 by Jay-Z. They talked with a few different agencies but ultimately liked what Roc Nation had to offer on the court and off of it.

The brothers were first represented by agent, and family friend, Harrison Gaines but mutually parted ways with Gaines in April 2019. The trio then signed on with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) following the split with Gaines and have now moved onto Roc Nation.

LaMelo is among the prospects in the conversation to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft after his season in the National Basketball League. He was named the NBL Rookie of the Year after averaging 17 points, 7.5 rebounds, seven assists and 1.7 steals.

LiAngelo signed a contract last month with the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League. He joined the team in December as a practice player and was set to debut with the Debut prior to the suspension of the G League season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lonzo will be entering the fourth year of his rookie contract next season.
