[QUOTE="sbillini, post: 1419958, member: 10496"] Well, looks like all our theorizing and debating is about to be tested. $125k + (more importantly) full time focus on bball + endoresements/agents = seems like a good deal to me for high level players. Should be interesting... As part of a newly formed "professional path" starting in the summer of 2019, the G League will offer "Select Contracts" worth $125,000 to elite prospects who are at least 18 years old but not yet eligible for the NBA draft. It will target recent or would-be high school graduates who otherwise would have likely spent just one season playing college basketball, enticing them not only with a six-figure salary but also the opportunity to benefit from NBA infrastructure, as well as a bevy of off-court development programs "geared towards facilitating and accelerating their transition to the pro game," Turner said.
