    American teenage basketball prodigy LaMelo Ball is still keen on buying the Illawarra Hawks and is just awaiting word from the NBL


    Ball's father, LaVar Ball, says the 18-year-old is "ready, willing and able" to purchase the team.

    Ball, one of the likely top three picks in the June 25 NBA Draft, was the Hawks' star signing last season.
