RE: LeBron calls for NBA to develop alternative development system to NCAA
I guess it comes down to numbers. I suppose you could just add a HS draft round, strictly for G-League, and extend G-League roster size by one to accommodate. Just put in a rule of one year minimum in G-League.

That would make the G-League have more value, not just two way players and NBA assignments, but HS phenoms trying to move up.

But if we are talking about 80 players counting International and guys who leave early (new 2 year minimum if you go to college, and some will want out after one), then 8 team league, 4 games each would be a 28 game season, plus a playoff, which would simulate the length of college year, and be like playing in an All Star league. As I said, there are enough good neutral locations for this: Hartford (Mohegan Sun), Seattle, Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay), Cincinnati, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, St. Louis, San Diego.

It comes down to numbers whether the existing G-League can handle it. If it's two dozen, I agree G-League. But if it's four dozen, I think my prospect league would be the way to go.
