It's well documented that the G League is trying to find new ways to allow young players to develop within their league. In fact, they are starting a brand new program that includes a "Select Team" full of young high school prospects who have decided to forego college. One of the first players to join the team is none other than the number one high school prospect Jalen Green. 

Now, the G League is looking to secure a training hub for the team and it seems like they are looking no further than Kobe Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy. According to Chris Haynes, a deal has not yet been put into place although it is looking increasingly likely that the Mamba Sports Academy will play host to this groundbreaking new team.

Over the last few years, the NCAA has come under fire for the way it treats its student-athletes, particularly those who play football and basketball. In retaliation to this, some high school prospects have gone to play for teams that are overseas. In fact, the G-League has even created a new development program for players who would like to go through their system instead of going to college.

This G-League program received a huge win today as it was revealed that number 1 high school prospect Jalen Green would be joining the G-League and foregoing all of his college offers. As ESPN reported today, Green could make upwards of $500K and will be able to train with veteran ballplayers. Needless to say, Green will be in a much better situation and won't have to undergo the college course grind.
