But you picked a high number year. ‘At least’ (Q-8) means sometimes it was 30. So maybe 30 is low but not any less accurate than picking something from the higher end of the range. Also (Q-8), it says a “record” 135 NBA players were in the GL, which was “30%” of the league last year. Maybe my math is off, but that would seem to put the league’s total players at 450, and by deduction the remaining 70% (315) represent the total non-NBA contracted players. So assuming your best-case figure of 50 it would make the odds 1- 6 (again estimating), not much better than college (1-7) or assuming 40 are called up, a little worse (1-8).

I still like the odds at a high profile school like SU with a long history of putting guys in the NBA, rather than a 17 year old trying to scrap with veteran players in a guard-oriented league with little coverage. Bazely would never last more than one year in college. But he could play several years in the GL without being drafted since he has to compete against 0lder, much more experienced and physically developed players. Anyway, thx for the discussion.
