In recent years, the standard route for top high school basketball players has been to go to college, play one NCAA season, then head to the pros.
But now, with the introduction of the G League “Select” team, a handful of high school stars will now have the chance to skip college and head straight to a special, brand new G League team that exists just for their purposes, with their goal of making the NBA in mind.
As of today, that G League team has its first head coach: Brian Shaw.
