US-based Filipino combo guard Jalen Green is excited to be taking an unusual path to the NBA, going straight to the NBA G League.
Joining the G league this soon meant skipping the opportunity to play Division 1 basketball, the traditional route top NBA prospects take, a decision he announced Thursday. The 18-year-old, whose mother traces her roots to Ilocos Sur, is ranked No. 3 overall by the 247Sports Composite. He is also the nation's No. 2 combo guard and the No. 2 player in the state of California, per the index."I worked a lot since my 6th to 8th grade year, it kept going. I was in the gym, never satisfied still in the grind," Green said.
Green currently busies himself maintaining his fitness while waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to die down.
