[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1420025, member: 515868"] He's probably right in the short term, but even though the G league has been around for 15 years or so it's nowhere near a finished product. They spent the first ten years with mixed rosters and teams constantly relocating, and only over the past three years or so have the finally linked teams directly to NBA franchises. Within the next three to five years, I think you'll see the last major wave of relocation and an expansion to a full 30 team slate. With teams located near their NBA counterparts, some stability, and rosters of kids who will be controlled by the teams, it'll become a much more compelling product. Will it compete with major college basketball? Probably not. But the nature of the league is going to keep evolving and it will become more attractive to potential college players (especially if the money is there). [/QUOTE]
