Guard Jalen Green is widely considered a top prospect in the 2021 NBA Draft after forging his own path through the G League. He is now hoping to follow in the same footsteps to basketball immortality as Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
Rather than go the traditional route of college, Green opted to play for the G League Ignite in order to develop his skill set. The move clearly paid some dividends after averaging 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
The exposure has helped Green establish himself as a consensus Top-3 pick in this year’s draft.
