Pretty much the entire population
No offense taken, I may be older than many but I am still closer to the game and players than the average fan.
The question is not whether there are players 22 or younger with followers, there are plenty of those especially getting tremendous exposure, national publicity, and visibility due to college basketball and college recruiting. Most college players are 22 and younger. College basketball is a major industry with great momentum and provides a tremendous audience and benefits to these young players.
The question is whether there are many players (18-19 and younger) that will give G-league a tremendous ticket increase and a national audience without going to college. That, I seriously doubt. But we will see when the rule is implemented.
220 = class of 2020, not 22 and younger. I’m talking 18 and younger. Lack of clarity there on my part. And no doubt college recruiting amplifies the national publicity of players but these days the ground floor for that exposure starts with social media, not the college recruiting process.
