Former Lakers guard Brian Shaw has agreed to become the head coach of the G League elite pro team, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The new G League team, which is set to launch next season in Los Angeles, will be headlined by Sports Illustrated All-American Player of the Year Jalen Green and five-star prospect Isaiah Todd. The team will not be affiliated with an NBA franchise and is part of the NBA's professional pathway program, a G League initiative that will pay elite prospects and provide a one-year development program separate from the league's prior makeup.
