Every year, the NBA’s minor league system, the G League, holds an annual Winter Showcase event. This is a time where all the league’s teams play at one central location, with this year being in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event allows NBA scouts to have a closer look into what the league has to offer. The main grab for these events for teams is the potential of finding the low-risk, high-reward talent that is scattered throughout the 27-team league.
This is why all NBA organizations take full advantage of this opportunity. There are more eyes on the play at hand and more communication between scouts and their GM’s.
