Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 2561153, member: 741"] And nobody wants to chime in on how JB contradicts a lot of "conventional" thinking around here that by going to the G League a kid will actually get more coaching than if he stayed the course. He says over the next 6 months no individual attention/coaching. No practicing 6 hrs a day with instructors or coaches. No strength coaches. That NBA teams aren't spending the time or money to develop these kids like they would get in college. That may change but it isn't that way now. I for one wondered how a 6'8" 180-190 pound 17 year old could hope to compete well against guys older and big than he is. Reports from the McD game said Bazley didn't do well because it was more of an individual game than the team structure where he shines. Just like the G league (per JB) . [/QUOTE]
