With a commitment from longtime No. 1-ranked recruit Jonathan Kuminga on Wednesday night, the G League’s new preps-to-pros program now has five high-profile players for the 2020-21 season.
The revamped program will allow star basketball prospects to get paid right out of high school while they stay in the United States to train up to the 2021 NBA Draft. All five players will be assigned to the new G League Select Team, which is expected to be coached by league veteran Brian Shaw and filled out with older players to help the new recruits develop their games and transition into professional basketball.
This is the first recruiting cycle in which the G League has offered this particular program — complete with six-figure salaries and a unique regimen for its young players — and it’s been an impressive haul for the NBA’s developmental league. Kuminga and Jalen Green are both top-five national prospects, Isaiah Todd and Daishen Nix were top-20 national recruits, and Philippines sensation Kai Sotto was ranked near the top 50 in the 2020 class.
