Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3364187, member: 1674"] I mentioned this in the Dior thread already, but clearing up a couple things: [LIST=1] [*]These kids aren't actually playing in the GLeague. They're training for the NBA in a program that falls under the GLeague umbrella. They'll have some scrimmages against GLeague teams, international teams, etc. but they aren't playing in competitive GLeague games. [*]The NBA is doing this to try to prevent kids from going to Australia, China, etc. Keeping kids in LA instead of literally as far away from the U.S. as physically possible makes things a lot easier on their scouts. Plus they'll likely have far greater access to the kids as part of the GLeague program than they had with overseas teams. They decide how these kids get trained rather than being trained in Euro-style for example. If it happens to inspire NCAA to start allowing kids to make money and therefore make college a more attractive option than overseas, even better. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
