The NBA got its first real look at the G League Ignite team last week, with projected top-five picks Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga taking part in a pair of closed-door scrimmages against a team of older, experienced G League players. The Ignite team, which also includes projected lottery pick Daishen Nix and draft-eligible bigs Isaiah Todd and Kai Sotto, has been training together in Walnut Creek, Calif., since August. The team’s selected veterans, including longtime NBA forward Amir Johnson, arrived in November, and full-team practice began in turn. Ignite lost both scrimmages, the first 113–107 and the second in a 125–99 blowout, but there was plenty to take away from watching these prospects in this setting.
