Merits of G-League vs. College Basketball

I think he's right that cbb will be "fine". But it's likely to also be smaller, dollars-wise, over time.
I said years ago that, if the NBA used the GLeague like a true minor league system, it'd become similar to the club model for soccer/basketball overseas. Seems we're coming to that point sooner than I expected.

Programs that develop and cultivate talent should thrive in a transition period as we will likely see more G-League (or other professional levels) defectors. College basketball doesn’t need "now power”. The college game needs staying power. “Now power” didn’t yield squat in 2019-2020, a down year for college hoops.
Anthony Edwards was on a team that went 16-16 and finished 13th in the SEC. James Wiseman dipped his toe into the college game at Memphis. Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels were part of a Washington team that went 15-17, finished 12th in the Pac-12 and only won five games in 2020. Cole Anthony was on North Carolina’s 14-19 season (he was 10-12 when he played) and was 13th in the ACC.
Vernon Carey, a constant player in the top five his entire prep career, was the only player inside our final HoopSeen top 7 who actually had team value at the college level as a rookie.

Memphis(Or Tiger High as we refer to them here in Tennessee) head basketball coach Penny Hardaway is very pissed off at the G-League
Memphis isn't in the Top 100 in men's basketball recruiting so they have a big set of problems
