Is the D-League really that bad that sending someone to get some playtime translates into near zero growth as a player? I tried watching their season opener, but it was damn near WNBA boring.
The problem with the D-League is that everyone is trying to get to the NBA, so the level of team play is awful. Every guy is out to get his and showcase himself.
And yet if you're a D-League caliber level of player, your only hope of sticking on an NBA squad is to do all the little things that a team player does.
