Jerry Colangelo said the people surrounding Lonzo Ball present a "challenge" for teams.

Colangelo, who remains an adviser with the Philadelphia 76ers, was referring to Ball's father LaVar Ball.

The 76ers own the third overall pick in the draft and have attempted to bring Ball in for a workout.

"I think Ball is a terrific prospect and could have an outstanding NBA future," Colangelo told the Carlin and Reese radio show on 94 WIP. "I think it's going to be challenging with the people around him, without being specific.

"And yet, I don't think teams should bypass the player because they have those concerns. At the end of the day, what wins in this league is talent, and this is a very talented young man."
