I think if you're gonna be good, you're gonna be good. I don't think being in the G League, spending an extra year in college or going overseas is gonna make that much of a difference. I think it's all about the talent you have and the work you're putting in

Development wise, I agree with that. A difference though is that college basketball produces new stars every year that get their profile raised, especially those who do it in March madness. That kind of exposure and name recognition doesn't happen in the G League. If Obi plays like he did all year in the 2nd half of the season and does nothing more but be a little more consistent while leading UD to a sweet 16 run, then his profile is much higher going into the 2020 draft.
Whatever he chooses, i'll be rooting for him, but my honest (if biased) opinion is that UD is primed for something special next year and he could be at the forefront of that and get the bulk of the spotlight that brings.
