Heard someone mention Disney a few days ago on a pod I think. After reading that article, I really do think that would be the best way to make this work if they can get the testing protocols in line.

He's not going back to school, man
It's good they have the option for the fringe players who decide to go this route, though

He's not going back to school, man
Yeah but a lot of the NCAA supporters say "What if he flames out and has nothing to fall back on"
He has half a mil & a college education to fall back on.

And he got his own team
Can anyone speak to how this will operate from a draft eligibility standpoint? I believe currently all the G-League teams are NBA affiliates. Will they create separate teams for kids from HS that aren't league affiliated then can enter the draft?

I believe players that didn't want to go to college before could play in the G-League, but they wouldn't be eligible to be called up to the NBA.

there’s already two G-league teams in SoCal, I need to know what nba team they’d be attached to for support because I doubt a solo team would be profitable

I think they can sign with whoever they want. Pretty sure Terrace Ferguson did the same thing. I don't think they can get "called up" and there's more money in the draft so I don't think they'd hang around to be eligible to be called up. Not sure if that's exactly what you were asking

they can’t get called up. Not eligible.

Portland doesn’t have one. I can’t think if there was another one. I think Minnesota?

Thank you guys. So basically they're just on the roster to ride out the year until they can enter the draft?

prob would need an entry draft from the pool of basically UFAs that will enter the g-league before they’re nba draft eligible

That's just there in place to "protect" them if something happens to the player and they "don't make it."He's not going back to school, man
Chances are the players never end up using that, so G League won't have to shell out the money, but putting that in place makes it "fool proof."

I think they’re just adding a new team, don’t see how they’re gonna have a team of HS kids and just compete against grown men.
he technically gets to choose where he’s signing but I assume the option was on the table of a new team and he would technically be the first player
could be wrong on the second part, first part makes no sense either way

Top recruit Green going G League over college
Jalen Green, a potential No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, is entering the reshaped NBA/G League professional pathway program right out of high school.

Lolwut maaan what are you talking about?
tell all's with writers embedded with turbulent teams is a book as old as sports journalism itself.
Jordan rule's, season on the brink ect ect. Unless the book is filled with lies how can you possibly get mad at Ethan Strauss for writing about the...team...he's paid...to write about???

He might at some point. You can get a college degree entirely on-line now. If someone else is going to pay for it, why not?
But, yeah, the chances that he ever spends time on an college campus taking classes are low.

For sure, I was speaking on Jalen Green specifically. I am in agreement with you and
nick.
That’s true. I was just trying to understand how their team was selected and what it meant for the draft. So basically they’d be high-priced G-League rentals

Actually a new solo G-league team, run by the league itself could work like the USNTDP junior hockey team. It’s run by USA hockey but plays in USA junior leagues (private franchises) and NCAA conferences

Correct
My high school wasn't **** nationally (or locally
) when it came to basketball and now the prep team came and hijacked the program and it's putting out NBA draft prospects So weird to see.
