Also, again, OTE is signing current high school juniors, not otherwise college bound players. Their player pool is different from the G-League. If the NBA truly wants to get into the basketball minor league game and begin paying high school juniors and seniors for 2 or more years before those players can enter the NBA draft, it is not like the OTE is standing in their way.
