Good find THirt.

I think this is good for the NCAA and teams like UD. Yes, this type of thing may cause the big boys, that used to get the newly appointed G League players, to dip into the players that schools "lower" than them were after. But, as mentioned above, these players will be at schools for longer than a year. In the long run this will cause players to stay at schools for multiple years and keep the idea of "college athletics" versus "amateur basketball" with the purpose to prepare athletes for pro ball. There are still the same amount of roster spots to go around.

I don't think this has much, if any, impact on UD. Overseas ball will always be there...even after playing in college for 4 years. Regardless of potential that a kid has, over time, reality will set in that they aren't going to be making a living in the US playing professionally. I still think the luster of playing for a competitive college program will still trump a long shot in the G League or any other professional league.
