I think G League is good for everyone.
NBA now has a minor league to develop promising kids who just aren't ready for NBA.
Players now have a lot of options. They can go to college if they want that experience, the can go to G League and be able to make money to support their families and still get their education paid for. Lastly, kids can still opt to play overseas if they want to make more money and see the world. I think you will still see kids going overseas as I think the max deal with G League for elite talent is $500,000. I saw First Take the other day and it was reported that Jalen Green's deal will supposedly will exceed $500,000. Overseas teams could offer more money I believe.
NCAA looks bad and will lose star power in college basketball but March Madness will still be a draw as without one year kids ruining the game with their NBA audition year it should be more competitive and more development can take place. The NCAA's willingness now to allow players to get paid for their likeness will benefit college football players as NCAA will still be in full control of that sport since NFL does not have developmental league.
The ones who suffer a little are college coaches, especially guys like Cal & Coach K who have been running the one and done factories for years. They will still get the higher rank kids that decide to go to school but they are going to have to coach lesser talent. So now being able to develop and coach kids now will be more important that ever and may expose some coaches who can't win without these 5 star kids.
