The NBA’s development league, the G League, is a growing entity. According to the league’s homepage, 52% of all players on end-of-season NBA rosters had G League experience. While this number might be an exaggeration due to late-season transactions, the G League has an impressive active alumni thriving in the NBA, including such quality players as Khris Middleton, Rudy Gobert, Pascal Siakam and Robert Covington.
Despite the growth of the G League, some teams may look to the EuroLeague or Australian National Basketball League for both development and player acquisition purposes.
