ehh.. you'll see it cut both ways. Kids that were "elite" and their flaws are discovered in the G-league, and guys that were "overlooked" that shine under a season with coach K and find themselves in the lottery.
Overall, more of the G-League types will make the lottery than those that forgo the G-league, "blow up" and make the lottery.
Honestly, it won't take long before there is the kid a rung or two down, with no interest in school saying "hey, I'll play for $60K a year in the G-league" and suing their way for an opportunity there. The quicker the NBA, and therefor the NCAA switches to a baseball style setup, the better for all. Kids who don't want to be in school can make some money trying to develop into an NBA player, those that see the value will spend 3 or 4 seasons in college before hoping to get a shot at the NBA.
