I doubt this league will exist once Lamelo turns 20.
I doubt the league will exist another 6 months. The NBA just copied it. Of course kids are going to pick the G-League over JBA.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThe NBA G-League announced today that they'll be giving elite 18 y/o's the opportunity to skip college and join the G-League. They'll be able to hire agents, get endorsement deals, and be paid to play. It's a path to the NBA.
This copies the JBA league which was started by Lavar Ball last year.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostNCAA is about to upend the entire summer basketball recruiting circuit for 40 HS stars, many of whom will pass on college to go G-League route or NBA when 1-and-done rule amended. There are 300+ D-1 coaches pulling their hair out right now.

Originally posted by BrometheusBob. View PostWell this is going to make it a lot harder for the NCAA to maintain it's position that student athletes shouldn't be getting paid. The G-league will certainly offer some kind of pay.
The NCAA offers the glamor of being on primetime tv for many of them, but that might not be enough.

Lavar never talked about JBA before Gelo got suspended.

He sure did. Instead of breeding three NBA prospects, he only bred one who already lost his starting job to a 36 year old man with no jumpshot.
