“The G League will have the most to offer, considering that is the development league for the NBA. I will get more out of that than going overseas. The G League is the closest thing to the NBA.
“I see most guys now are spending time in the G League even after they went to school and the draft, so this gives me the chance to accelerate the process.
“There have been a lot of successful guys who have been brought up in the G League, and I’m confident that I will be one of them.”
