[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1420176, member: 7292"] Yes, but a lot of those followers are motivated by college recruiting and will not convert to ticket holders in the G-leagues. Look at Tugs Bowen, a lot of followers and fan interest while a recruit in HS, really non-existent interest since then, other than following his FBI case. If you ask the average basketball fan, even avid fans, to name the top 2020 HS recruits, I doubt anyone would come up with names like Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, Anthony Edwards, Scottie Barnes, and Jalen Johnson. And unless for college recruiting these names would remain unknown, definitely would not draw crowds in G-league. [/QUOTE]
