Brittney Griner Sounds Off on New G-League Payment For High School Stars

Brittney Griner has a lot to say about the NBA's new G-League offer to top prospects.

In an Instagram post that she shared on Friday, the Phoenix Mercury center called out the new G-League contracts, which are offering $125,000 to elite prospects who are at least 18 years old but not yet eligible for the NBA draft as an alternative to the NCAA's one-and-done route.

"Must be f------ nice coming out of college getting that," Griner said in the post. "We def didn't see any money like that till we went overseas. AWAY FROM OUT FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES AND HAVE TO PLAY YEAR ROUND.
