In 2018, the NBA G League announced they would be offering ‘select contracts’ to elite high school prospects as an alternative to the NCAA.
The league finally has gotten their first big name in Jalen Todd from Prolific Prep in Fresno, California.
He isn’t the only prospect taking the G League route as Isaiah Todd has decided to join as well and both will be a part of the ‘Select Team.’ This team will be focused on growth and assimilation including professional coaches and training as well as community events and life skills programs. The year-long program will also include 10 to 12 games against other G League teams that won’t count towards the standings.
