Last week, five-star high school basketball prospect Darius Bazley announced that he would skip college and plans to play in the NBA G League next season. Like most high school players, Bazley is ineligible to enter the 2018 NBA Draft because he's not one year removed from his graduating glass. In the past, top prospects who wanted to skip college generally chose to play overseas, but Bazley is the first to choose the G League.
Chris Mannix and Caron Butler discussed Bazley's decision, and explained why they believe the G League could become a legitimate threat to the NCAA in the years to come.
