Make no mistake about it, the NBA G League recruiters are going to come after the top-shelf 2021 five-stars. They'll probably do so with the lure of one-year contracts exceeding half a million dollars. And three recruits currently holding Duke basketball offers are likely to be at or near the top of their wishlist, even if none have yet listed it as an option.
But each could follow in the footsteps of Jalen Green, Isaiah Todd, and Daishen Nix, the big names thus far who, rather than playing without pay at the college level, will be raking in some significant dough while headlining a select team in Los Angeles next season (whenever it happens).
