Which route do you feel is best for young athletes? https://www.a1squad.com/single-post/2018/03/02/G-League-vs-NCAA-Basketball---The-Pros-Cons https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/377211002
Darius Bazley is doing this next year after decommitting from Syracuse. Curious to see how this works out for him. Top 10 recruit in the 2018 High School class.
I think some people wants to experience the college culture, especially being varsity athletes before they go pro
G League contracts dont carry over when you get drafted into the NBA- so there's not as much incentive for a team to give you PT or development like the ncaa
Considering that 98% of them will never get any higher than this, and one gives them a college degree and the other doesn't...the choice for the vast majority seems pretty obvious.
1% of college players get drafted each year so the NCAA will always be the best bet to a future in or out of basketball.
