You neglected to discuss the emergence of NIL as a viable alternative to turning professional prior to entering the draft. Some of the most prominent college players make upwards of a million dollars due to NIL deals, which is arguably as lucrative for them as Ignite would've been had they elected to join. I know that there are significant issues with NIL and its certainly not the panacea that some might've hoped for, but it has certainly made college a viable avenue once again.

NIL is destroying college...meaning college stars at their schools are just jumping left and right for a bit more money. If you get on average over $60 -70 for free room/board, education, tutoring, and college fees this should be enough? Plus imagine if they all got 3,000 money stipend that's what most college students need. Not expensive gold chains, fancy cars, when a lot of players flop or don't play well college are going look at wasted money! Will all college players play hard with the bag or money already promised? The Game will eventually dilute itself because National Image & Likeness is just who pays me more too play there!

Scoot Henderson isnt good enough of a player currently to warrent his draft pick.. I could see if he was a lower pick but he was top 3. He is absolutely a bust currently regardless of how long he has been in the league, it doesnt matter. If youre a top 3 pick, you better be good enough to average over 10 ppg, 5 assists and 5 boards as a rookie starter. You're on a terrible NBA team and you are a top 3 pick who supposedly has good enough talent to improve and adapt quick enough to start all year, as well as the fact that you're probably the top 2 players on the team. He really has no excuse other than he cant adapt.. He probably isnt made for this, solely because of the fact that nobody gives a damn about winning in the G-League, they only care about individual progress so they can get called up. What do they look like trying to win a G-League chip making 30k a year? That isn't worth it.

We argue about this at my work all the time. I feel like talent is at an all time high, but skill (the average skills possessed by the majority of players) might be at an all time low in the modern NBA. I watch league pass games, and am amazed how many games boil down to inefficient transition shot chucking. No plays, no rebounding, no defense, no dribbling with your off hand, trips to the line where the guy misses both FREE throws.... 12 missed transition threes, 8 turnovers, 6 fouls, 9 points scored in 6 mins of game time. These kids getting millions don't have the skills they should have been taught in middle school, and no idea how to be a part of a winning culture. Just trying to pad the stats to get contracts.

Guys who can block, defend, rebound, shoot 3s, make every pass, initiate the offense and put the ball on the deck from 30 feet out and drive to the cup and finish gracefully with body control, not just slam it home. Sure, there can be some sloppy ball being played at times, but the skill of the average NBA player today is INSANE. To say skills possessed are low today is laughable.

Not only is talent at an all time high so is skill bud. Players are much more skilled today. Looking at this shitty ignite players who went though a shitty development system isn't enough to make an overarching statement on the entire league.

the reason kuminga and all the other warriors rookies haven’t panned out as soon as warriors fans would have liked is bc of Kerr and his inability to develop young talent. He keeps young players on a tight leash, unless he’s forced to play them bc they either produce (ex Poole) or don’t disrupt the flow of the offense (ex Podz), and doesn’t allow them to have consistent pt to gain more nba experience. We’re only really seeing JK now bc he finally gained Kerr’s trust. It was so frustrating seeing guys like Anthony lamb play over JK and Moody bc Kerr loves hustle players. The warriors FO is great at scouting talent but they don’t know how to develop shit unfortunately.

The JBA wasn't an opportunity for talented basketball players outside of college, it was purely a showcase for the Ball sons by their father and everyone else became collateral damage. The other players weren't paid what they were promised, and when it went bust they also lost out on the eligibility to play for college. It wasn't anything unique either. Players could already play overseas or they could play for the numerous other minor leagues inside the US. There was the TBL (2018-), UBL (2008-), UBA (2009-16), ABA (2000-), PBL (2008-), APBL (2011-19), IBA (2011-17), ECBL (2015-), NBLC (2011-23), CEBL (2019-), etc.

Green is the perfect example of why the G-league hurts players. They know they are not getting benched and with no structure from the coaching staff it hurts a lot. They get a big head but they never learn and never grow as a player because they are more worried about points than even trying on defense. It's all about the show off with highlights that make their highlight films look amazing. Why is it the guys coming out of college are better at defense? They have to put in the work and earn their place among their teammates and on the court compared to the G league were it's all about getting your own numbers and the team concept is not there and it shows. If they are not going to put a coaching staff together that actually work the players that makes them work as a team and stop this highlight show bullshit and get down to winning with the team or just end the program because they are hurting these kids in a bad way and they need to stop.

the lack of experience from coaches was eye opening,, they are still in the earlier ages i hope they can become more respected as an option. 1. better coaches 2. better marketability 3. better pay for the g league to where talented players feel comfortable staying down there thus making it more watchable and more team centric.

I think it's less about them being "good" and more about them not being NBA Ready. Rookies that are NBA Ready are already few and between. G-League Ignite rookies are gonna be struggling for a lot longer.

The sample size is still too small but it’s not looking good right now.

Though I think it is quite harsh on players who haven’t been in the league 7 years to see how they fully turn out. I have to agree. If the nba is going to have a development programme it has to take it seriously and actually create an environment that suits that mission. I personally think every g league team should have a development programme. It could be something that draws interest to viewers who want to follow young prospects that sign with the g league clubs or rookies that have come down to play. And finding ways to make the g league championship important as opposed to it just being a testing ground for new basketball rules etc.

Kerr doesn’t give another players a chance . Just the stars

I think it isn’t right to call some of these guys busts or that the Ignite program isn’t working when all of the guys you mention are probably 22 years old or younger. They’re just now getting their feet wet and you already want to say the program they came from hasn’t been successful. Give them a couple more years when they’re around 26,27, 28 years old before you try and casts them off to the side like that. That isn’t fair to them.

As a rockets fan its hard seeing jalen not reach his true potential

@@S1MEONTV I don't expect him to be in his prime, I expect to see some signs of improvement which he hasn't. His shooting percentages are garbage and he doesn't really do anything else besides score, he basically is another jordan poole.

It takes a while to hit your prime in the NBA, coaching is in a dip rn. None of them are just lebron. The talent gap between a role player and star player is smaller than it’s ever been. And it’s takes a lot of working pieces to become a superstar. I’ve worked with a lot of these guys a handful have that potential but it takes more than the player themselves to get to that point the team, coach and GM vision has a lot to do with it.

NFL is King and makes guys earn it for 3 years after high school. The NBA instead of learning from the most successful league decides to go the opposite way and allow children into their league. The football guys wait till 3 years after high school to get paid in a violent sport. The basketball guys can wait too. The KG, Kobe, Lebron, D. Howard guys were once in a generation. None of these guys today is ready to be a different maker in the NBA, but the NBA and it's stupid owners like to pay for on the job training. I mean 19 year olds with guaranteed contracts. What could go wrong?

That Josh giddey pic was FOUL

Kuminga, Green and Henderson are all solid NBA starters rn and (two of them) are IMPROVING at a healthy rate

Dyson Daniels is underrated by the casual fan. He'll be a really good role player potentially for a contending team. Every team needs a player like him.

Only Wemby ahead of Miller in ROTY? Dude Chet is running away with ROTY.

I meant from the draft class

A lot of these dudes are on loaded rosters too. Dyson is especially. The Pelicans have crazy depth.

Even though it it is early for these guys careers, I don’t believe it will turn into any real winning success. I’m happy for them collecting bags tho.

Moses “Stay Ready” Moody has been good

Marjon has been a good role player with flashes of potential to take over a game on a rare basis and that's all he's been asked of

Sometimes it seems like the G-league as a whole isn't conducive to developing good all-around players. Too many players trying to shine individually and not displaying how they could work in a team system. I blame the coaches.

The logic behind this video barely makes sense. After Daniels, none of the players discussed are lottery picks, so why do you frame them being back in the G league as a bad thing? That's generally what should be expected of second-round draft picks, and they probably made more money in the G league than they would have with an NIL deal in college. On top of that, G league ignite was formed less than 5 years ago, there's no way u can make those claims especially when there were really only 4 lottery picks that you can use as examples. This is especially true when comparing the developmental capability of G league ignite versus college basketball. Maybe more people play in college that's why they have more success stories...and also more busts. The end of the video is actually laughable too. Prospective lottery picks learn more playing against amateurs in college cuz they...play in front of large crowds of people? And playing in front of grown professionals who are all fighting for a spot in the NBA somehow prepares you less...Also Coach K and Roy Williams are retired bud

People keep saying to me that Scoot has this crazy athleticism, size, and speed.. But I'm still looking to see what the fuck they are talking about 😂 he's literally 6'1 maybe 6'2, a little more muscular than the average NBA guard but plays below the rim, and really isn't blowing by guys with ease when the ball is in his hands.

the problem of Gleague Ignite is they all experience more losing games than winning games plus the atmosphere is not wild as the NCAA games.

What do you expect? They don't play defense there, no competition whatsoever.

You forgot one more player Michael Foster Jr.

the Josh Giddey picture actually made me laugh

I think this is a premature take. A lot of these players are not yet even close to their primes or have settled into an identity. Not all these players are terrible, they're just still figuring out. I wouldn't say it's a failure yet, it's definitely not a success. I would still give it another 3 years.

Scoot definitely has potential 🗣dude u need to be patient on the young hoopers

He's ass cheeks

The thumbnail is kinda wild 💀

How a player fits on the team they are drafted by is more of an impactful factor than the 6-9 months they spend playing and developing with the ignite. This pretty much goes for a player at any point in their career, it's about your fit and comfort within that organization. There's so many talented hoopers in this world you have to have the right combination of intangibles and look. Look at all the guards Kentucky produce, they always take time to become stars....

bro changed the title because kuminga turned out to actually be good lol

Bit of a chicken or the egg thing. Players who would rather go to G league likely have other concerns (poor grades, tough family backgrounds, etc). Teams put a lot of emphasis on their interviews with players, but I'm geussing scouts gave a lot more leniency to G-league players as being more NBA ready and likely didnt have to focus as much on those other concern areas. That will probably adjust as we get more data.

This is the only 100% accurate comment on here. Give it 3 years and then we can come to honest conclusions

Many high school kids are now going into the nbl next star program in Australia. Get paid, play against men and had guys like lamelo ball go through it.

Past thumbnail was Jalen Green who is for sure not a bust.

kuminga and miller ironically been good af lol

Do you no that Rob Dillingham is making 779 k a year off of NIL at Kentucky and Kentucky is not in a big market and he isn’t one of the highest earners in the country for NIL

Marjon Beauchamp has that dog in him 🔥, I can't wait to see what he does in the league.

@DKM i can say that OTE is a bit better but comparable to G-League Ignite. Atleast OTE has produced the Thompson brothers who were more productive, especially Ausar from the Pistons. I know it's too early to say this but i can see that these players are way better than the folks you most mentioned. Hopefully that'll change if Buzelis and Holland who're currently in GLeague Ignite will play well in the NBA next season.

I love that title, straight to it

So why doesn’t the nba just let players go straight to the nba

The ncaa has said for years they want the one and done rule changed. The commissioner said it this year. It’s the nba that won’t change the rule. They can do it anytime they want
