This afternoon, 2020 five-star prospect and No. 1 overall point guard, Daishen Nix, announced he would be decommitting from UCLA and signing a deal with the NBA G League.
Originally committing to UCLA back in August and signing to open the early signing period, Nix will take a deal reportedly worth $300,000 to begin his professional basketball career.
So why is he turning down Mick Cronin and the Bruins in favor of the G League?
The opportunity to play with likeminded five-star talent like Jalen Green and Isaiah Todd – the first two G League signees, who made their decisions official in recent weeks – who all have immediate NBA dreams.
