NBA G-League new Select Contracts could affect Arizona Basketball in future

Arizona Basketball is an élite NCAA program which attracts some of the best high school athletes in the nation and the world. The G-League now has a High School graduate elite contract that they will offer next summer to compete with the NCAA prior to the end of the one-and-done rule.

The NBA G-League announced Thursday, according to Jonathan Givony (ESPN), that starting in the summer of 2019, they will be hiring a select élite group of graduating high school athletes into their league at the rate of $125,000 for “select contracts.”

The deal would be for one year and is $15,000 more than the max offered to a WNBA player.
