One thing is for sure:
Cade, Suggs, and Mobley probably watching these Ignite games wondering why they didn't make the jump.

I fully expect Bates, Chet, etc, etc to be in the G-League if the 1 and done rule isn't changes.

As a Warriors fan, i'm just hoping to get a Wolves pick at 4/5 and have one of Green/Kuminga drop.

I wonder if going forward kids start to look at this the same way they look at schools in terms of "will I get minutes on this team" because in thinking about what you just said about Cade, Mobes, and Suggs, it begs the question of where would those minutes and touches go had they all decided to take this route.

Cade and Mobley got similar or greater money and are playing where a family member is coaching.

Why would Suggs be thinking that? He’s in the perfect situation at Gonzaga, has elevated his draft stock massively, and is odds on to win a national championship. There’s no way he’d be having any regrets.

Yeah, for the most part things have worked out for all 5. With Cade's situation being the most dubious simply because of the awful cast around him...though if he ends up going #1 as he's projected to, it's hard to say his situation hurt him at all.

Isaiah Todd is having a nice game today. He's running the floor hard and shooting with confidence. He's a guy that just looks young and isn't ready for the physicality of the NBA, but he's got nice tools to develop with. He needs to add 10-15 lbs.

Yeah this may sound crazy, but Green is my number 1. Upside is incredible. All of the top 5 are great though. Pick your poison.

stoked that these guys are paving the way in G League, hopefully more and more players snub the NCAA and go this route instead. having 2 guys drafted in the top5 from the G League will be looked as a historic precedent.

There's alot of benefits as a top prospect. I honestly didnt know alot of the big perks like they are guaranteed a scholarship at Arizona State if they want out and a guy like Green can earn $500,000 in 15 games.

yup, it's also good for the G League, more exposure, and it should turn into an actual developmental league like it should've been a long time ago.

He’s also the one with the least chance of getting close to his ceiling though, in my opinion.

Jeezus almighty Green & Kuminga look filthy. In fact the top 5 look filthy. Stacked class.

Basically three All NBA/All Star potential Wings
Brandon Roy 2.0
Anthony Davis 2.0

Good luck trying to predict who will be the best player in this draft when it all said and done. Heck even a draft pick from outside the top 5 might become the best player. This is looking like an all timer. Lots of special in this one.

Green is already sure lottery, if his agent is as greedy as kai sotto's, they wouldve shutdown green now and may look to play on a bigger market team ( chi, nyk, gsw)
