I wonder about small letter clauses in these contracts. Hope they retained decent lawyers / accountant or management firm that can do all. My guess is after expenses / taxes they end up with a net of 150k. Much better than college, but I hope they know how much they're getting.

I don’t know. LSU pays straight cash, and I doubt they’re alone.

Cronin needs to learn when to cut his losses.  Shouldn't have invested so many resources into the kid.

Well done. I chuckled.

Five-star point guard Daishen Nix is skipping college to join the same G League program Jalen Green and Isaiah Todd are joining. He was committed to UCLA.

I guess UCLA got Nixed.

I'll be honest, this sort of decision baffles me. I guess if you really hate school and just don't want to go to class, I understand that logic, but the ability to build a brand, develop a fanbase, gain exposure to mainstream fans, and be treated like a star is much higher at the collegiate level.

No one watches these games. They don't draw fans. It's more likely you will hurt than help your draft stock. And instead of flying private to top notch venues, you'll be taking a bus to backwater towns. I don't see any way this is sustainable long term.

Agree with you that no one watches these games. It's hard to top the excitement of college basketball. It'll be interesting to see how long the "NBA" minor league lasts.

I think we have all just learned how much at least one shoe company is willing to pay a top player.  Now they get to do it in a totally legal and aboveboard manner.  This is great for the NCAA AND great for the NBA and in reality is probably just a transition until 18's can get drafted again. 

Even before coronavirus, have you seen some of the crap on ESPN lately?  I'd much rather watch G league than SEC softball or the turkish tennis classic veterans D tour event.  A team that fields 5 of the top 18 year olds in the USA against a national team preparing for the Olympics?  Hell yeah, I'd watch that!

Jonathan Kuminga, No. 1 recruit of 2021, reclassifies to 2020 and takes G-League $$$

https://theathletic.com/1931656/2020/07/15/top-2021-high-school-prospect-jonathan-kuminga-explains-his-g-league-decision/?source=dailyemail

It's behind a paywall, but here's a few paragraphs to give the overall gist ...

Kuminga recently graduated early from The Patrick High School in Hillside, N.J., and is now a potential No. 1 overall pick candidate for the 2021 NBA Draft. His deal in the G League will be worth approximately $500,000.

“I don’t see myself as a high school player again,” Kuminga said. “The G League will help me more than how college was going to help me on being the player I want to be right now, and going pro. They’re going to help me on everything; my skills and developing my body.”

I would too. No guarantee there's gonna be a college season and only more likely that he's facing top talent that's essentially now redshirted a year in college.

Someone remind me though, the GLeague program these young players are going to doesn't actually play games right? It essentially coddles them for a year because they believe they'll make it as pros?

As I understand it, the young guys will all be put on the same team, based in Los Angeles, possibly in Kobe's facility.  Kuminga is the fifth addition to the roster.

In addition to the young guys, the Select team will bring in a few veteran players to play alongside of and "mentor" them.  Might be a first step for those guys into coaching.

Former NBA player and coach, Brian Shaw, will be the Select Team's head coach.  It sounds like they also will bring in a few others with pro playing and coaching experience.  Sam Mitchell has been mentioned.

I haven't seen a schedule, but it sounded like they plan to play about 10 games against G-League teams.

You missed the part of a full ride scholarship to anywhere they can get into if and when they decide to go.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Under the table cash is tax free. Makes paying taxes on NBA salaries a shock.

I think this is good for college basketball.  Create some stability if there are less one and dones.  For every Zion who captures the country, there's a dozen Anthony Edwards, Henry Ellensons, Deandre Ayton, Markelle Fultz who don't make a dent nationally and only serve to stall their team's progress.

I agree with this analysis.
