There is plenty to digest with the NBA’s new G-League initiative, which intends to lure top NBA prospects away from the college ranks and into a select program that will pay them more (Jalen Green, the potential top pick in the 2021 draft, reportedly will earn $500,000) and coach them well on a team that won’t face the same schedule as other teams in the league.
But the biggest question: How significant an impact will this have on college basketball?
It’s important to note that this G-League program is likely a temporary one.
