One of the best developments of this period of time we exist in is the rise of the NBA G-League. In what will surely benefit the NBA–and of course the Boston Celtics–the developmental league will soon have the premiere draft prospects instead of the NCAA.
College basketball as we know is likely to be thrown on its head in the post-Coronavirus world. If students aren’t going to be in classrooms, you better believe they won’t be on the basketball hardwood.
Enter the G-League. With Jalen Green already the major get for the Gatorade sponsored minor league, Isaiah Todd and now seven-foot-two Kai Sotto have joined him to form the backbone of what will be the G-League select team–essentially a league endorsed superteam of the players who would have represented the Duke’s, Michigan’s and UCLA’s in the NCAA.
