After signing Green, G League reaches out to Sotto

The NBA G League’s ramped-up efforts to target young talents could push Kai Sotto closer to his—and a entire nation’s—NBA dream.

After landing a future NBA superstar in Fil-Am Jalen Green, the G League, according to a report from Forbes.com, has contacted a number of prep stars, including Kai Sotto. The 7-foot-2 Sotto is trying to become the first full-blooded, homegrown Filipino to crack the NBA and is in the United States honing his skills at The Skill Factory in Atlanta.The G League initiative gives young talents the chance to apply for the NBA Draft—and provide them with rich salaries and a platform to showcase their skills—without having to pass through college.

The G League pried Green from top collegiate programs such as Kentucky, Memphis, Oregon and Auburn by opening a revenue stream for the rising star that could be as high as $500,000 a month. ESPN also noted that Green could sign a seven-figure sneaker deal. Both benefits are disallowed for US NCAA players.“They will add more names. The NBA wanted this to be a viable option, but they had to raise the stakes and the investment in the high school athletes.

Aside from Sotto, the G League is also looking to sign 6-foot-9 Texas forward Greg Brown, 6-11 big man Makur Maker, a cousin of Detroit center Thon Maker, and 6-7 wing Che Evans.The comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
