I would have no problem if more four/five stars go the G-League route. I do not think this will have an adverse effect on college basketball at all. Instead of a one and done playing at a five star level, we will have a three star senior who developed into a five star player.

Coaches with programs that cannot develop players and simply rely on one and done talent will struggle. Actual offenses, as opposed to clear out plays, will become more important and better as players spend more time in the system and have to challenge more cohesive defenses.

The G League may get some bump, but I doubt it will even begin to challenge the popularity of the college game. If more high school kids opt to join the G League, it will just become an extension of the AAU programs. This will not make me more excited to watch or attend G League games. The only time I had any desire (and to be fair it still was not much) to attend a G League game that is only about 20 minutes from where I live is when a player who formerly played at one of my alma maters was going to be there.
