[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 414847, member: 2784"] I watched about 2 min of the Jordan Brand classic the other day - all I could take. But in that 2 minutes they went through almost exactly the same comments as are in RR's article as they related to Baxley. He is a slender kid who is going to get beat up by 23/24 year old guys who are more physically developed and will do whatever they have to in order to get to/back to the NBA. They commented that the G League is officiated as a very physical brand of basketball (not helpful for Baxley) and that he will not be given the priority or preferred role he would otherwise get at Syracuse. And that is before you get to the fact that the G League generally doesn't have training and nutrition facilities like the NCAA - if at all. I was left with the feeling that he has a 50/50 shot of succeeding or getting swallowed up in the G League. Not the way you want to go if you are trying to guarantee/establish a top draft position. He is the trailblazer for this year - it will be interesting to see how this experiment in top talent going to the G League works both on a basketball level and an economic level. The more I think about it the more I do hope they get rid of the one and done. Initially I was focused on the top talent being drained from the NCAA game but the more this drags on the more I worry that the NCAA will feel the need to do stupid stuff for 10 or so kids per year that has the consequence of taking opportunities away for a lot of other athletes who really do want the education.
