I only get excited watching last season's high school players when they are donning the right laundry. I can't imagine watching a G League team I have to connection to because a couple of really good high school players are on the team. If I can't watch Syracuse, then I suppose my next choice would be to watch real professionals in the NBA.
Its kind of like baseball. You might go to a minor league game because being at the game is part of the experience, but if I'm watching on TV or following a team its going to be a major league team.
