The NBA just made a big change to its G-League, which could affect one and dones in college basketball.
According to ESPN, the G-League is getting a salary boost to $125,000 for “elite prospects” that are at least 18 years of age but not yet eligible for the NBA Draft.
That’s a big bump up from the original $35,000 base salary for a five-month season, though there are bonuses, NBA call-ups, two-way deals and Exhibit 10 contracts providing paths to earning more.
Still, most of those won’t be available to high school prospects who are 18 and want to skip college altogether.
