After seeing Chinese teams and Israeli teams in the preseason... those Aussie teams looked pretty good. They weren't winning, but they weren't losing by 35 to bad NBA teams' benches. Where do you rank the Kings then?

I think a big part of it is that the Australian league is physical. NBA players don't want to get into physical play in meaningless preseason games, so that gives the Aussies a physicality edge in these games and makes them more competitive.

“Obtaining a college education continues to provide unmatched preparation for success in life for the majority of student-athletes and remains an excellent path to professional sports for many.” f***ing hypocrisy at its best... Big problem with G league is the quality of the training conditions and traveling (long bus rides and commercial economy flights), but I guess they will start taking care of these issues once they have big prospects there.

That seems like the goal. The one and done thing for college is stupid. All it does is allow these corrupt ass universities to profit off these kids for a year. These kids aren't even going to class or pretending to work towards a degree. It's a pointless facade, and borderline slavery.
Now, if these kids can go to the G League and make the money they deserve, and eventually (once it becomes a more prominent path) play better competition with better training and preparation for the NBA, I think it'll be a win-win for both the players and the league. Get more of these top prospects to go this route, and it'll increase exposure and attendance for the league and help generate more revenue. Once that happens, the salaries for everyone should be better, and the conditions would also improve. It could end up becoming a true minor league system, which would be huge for NBA teams.
The only one who loses is the NCAA and the universities....which I think is great because they're borderline terrorist organizations anyway.

College would be so much better if every prospect actually stayed four years and tried to get a damn degree

And it's pathetic the Nuggets are practically the only franchise without a G-League team.
