Arizona Basketball is an élite NCAA program which attracts some of the best high school athletes in the nation and the world. The G-League now has a High School graduate elite contract that they will offer next summer to compete with the NCAA prior to the end of the one-and-done rule.
The NBA G-League announced Thursday, according to Jonathan Givony (ESPN), that starting in the summer of 2019, they will be hiring a select élite group of graduating high school athletes into their league at the rate of $125,000 for “select contracts.”
The deal would be for one year and is $15,000 more than the max offered to a WNBA player.
