Overtime Elite establishing itself as legitimate threat in basketball recruiting

The NBA’s G League Ignite program has only been around for two years now, but it has already been able to bring in high-caliber high school prospects such as Jalen Green, Jaden Hardy, and Scoot Henderson. Over the last two NBA Drafts, the Ignite program has sent six players to the next level, including three (Green, Jonathan Kuminga, and Dyson Daniels) going in the lottery. The new pro route option has made an immediate impact on the recruiting efforts of college teams, including the Kentucky Wildcats.
