[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 1012199, member: 6459"] 2-way contract players in the G-league will occasionally fill depth if teams have tons of injuries. But they're often behind the NBA vet minimum signees that fill out the ends of a team's bench at the NBA level, not players that are expected to make meaningful contributions. Interesting prospects from the late-first-round or 2nd-round will often play significant time in the G-league too. (Prior to NIL you also had Ignite for straight-out-of-high-school players who wanted to go straight to pro ball, but that's gone now.) It's true, you'll find a lot of NBA regulars who've played stints in the G-league. But there's not much G-league history for not-drafted-at-all players to leapfrog those first two categories of players. If you get feedback that you aren't draft-ready, and you have additional college eligibility, that seems like a hard bet to make - take $40K as a non-2-way-contract undrafted G-league player and hope to develop [B]extremely[/B] fast there? There's room for late-bloomers in the NBA and other pro leagues so if you take more NIL money to stay in college another year it's not like the G-League or Europe option is going away. And you are in a bit of a de-risked financially + future opportunity environment. [/QUOTE]
