No one knows anything about these nikkas. They have no highlights on social media. We don’t see them on TV. No stat lines are posted anywhere. It’s almost like it’s a place to hide and protect your potential

they Minus whale be playing on mars and when the draft comes around they tell us how great of a prospect these guys are suppose to be


its also terrible for the players brand

I'm assuming big time recruits would get payed more off NIL now, but maybe not
We know that college football brings in way more revenue then basketball, I have no idea how much college basketball players are getting from the nil. Hopefully it’s comparable or more from the g league

I don’t think it’s corny but I think players are largely overthinking the path to the NBA.

College probably is your best resource as these are the same coaches who coached NBA legends and coach the US international teams. On top of that, depending on your school u get a NBA playoff atmosphere every game and a nice paycheck to go to college

It’s the aspect of money + pro experience that makes the G-League work. Look at Anfernee Simons for instance, by 26 he’ll probably be averaging a lil under 30
