HoosierPal Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Here is the full G League draft. Two mostly full rounds and then a very short third. You will recognize a few other names, Shriver from VCU, Williams Jr, transferred from Duquesne, and Sincere Carry, also left Duquesne. https://gleague.nba.com/2023-nba-g-league-draft BJK likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Can anyone explain why there is a G League draft when most other guys like Yuri just sign contracts with their team and play on the G League affiliate? 2010andBeyond likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't believe Golden State has the rights to Yuri. Players in G league are like this 2 way players - Up to 3 on a roster that spend time on Nba and G league rosters Exhibit 10 players - signed to a contract with a parent team but sent to G league. Parent team retains rights. Goodwin had one of these his first year. Affiliate players - players signed in training camp but cut and put on a team's G league. They are free agents though, any nba team can sign them. They only have g league contracts with the league not just one team. Collins is on this deal. There is also a returning pool of players who sign with the league who round out rosters. Then the draft. Each team has 3 picks for newly eligible players who did not go through any of the other steps. These players fill out the bottom of a roster. In years previous the draft had many players who would advance in the G league. McCall and Reed were drafted. Bess was as well. With the proliferation of 2 way players and exhibit 10 guys the draft isn't as important and it is harder for a draftee to make a roster much less play in the league. Most drafted players are cut after training camp. billiCAN, CenHudDude, stmdragons and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
