Yeah I don't think the NBA really expects (do they??) to substantially increase G league viewership.
Its an interesting give and take for the NBA; I do think in general it's probably better for the development of the elite HS players for them to be in something like this, but on the other side, it's better for the development of them as stars, for lack of a better term, for them to have a year or two in college to build their name. You look at Zion, for instance, the guy became a mega star before he set foot in the NBA.
Yeah no doubt Zion got value out of college and going back Melo did when he was here. That's why it makes sense just to have guys earn endorsements while they are here. I'm not saying college is perfect, but no way Zion earns the endorsement deals he received if he went this new route.
