I have not payed attention in since before 2020 but the below is a good percentage.

“At the start of the 2023-24 NBA season, 50% of players on opening-night rosters possessed G League experience, which is a record, according to the G League. Forty-seven percent of players on NBA start-of-season rosters for 2022-23 had G League experience”

Especially if he got offered a spot on ignite who are doing a good job producing guys. G league seems to be doing better than before. A lot of college is more “ifs” to me. If he can start or play a lot. If the team does well his name will be bigger. Obviously a lot of those ifs are got the g league too but it’s working full time with pros to better yourself focusing only on you vs college with school and more worried about winning vs possibly having more of a role due to what the team needs instead of showing full skill set.

Idk just having a fun convo until we know if they are staying. As a college type person I would prefer playing at Bama than a g league but I do understand why going.

Experience can just mean they were sent down there at some point. It doesn’t mean they started there.

If you figure only 60 kids are getting drafted each year, and the NBA sitting on about 360-420 players, that means only 14-16% are getting drafted. Three years of drafts will get you to about 42-48%.

So 50% with G league seems about right

The G League Ignite is shutting down at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Are you sure? It's my understanding that players can exit the portal at any time if they haven't actually transferred. It would be up to the school whether or not he could come back. I don't know this for sure, but that's what my brief research came back with.

The only thing I'm sure about is I have to feed the dogs at 5pm :)

The G league ignite is no longer in existence. They folded up this year most likely because they couldn’t pay those guys coming out of high school as much as they get in NIL money.

If Sears comes back, it appears that out starting lineup would all be 4th or 5th year players. Sears, Wrightsell, Omiyuri, Nelson, and Youngblood?
