With all due respect to the Charge, I kind of like the idea of stashing our rookies and prospects in the Euroleague, perhaps even in Maccabi if they're interested in building a relationship like that.
There are too many conflicting interests in the D-League. Individual players are trying hard to stuff the stat sheet in hopes of getting a chance in the NBA. Teams are sometimes used as guinea pigs to test bizarre offensive and defensive schemes. Rotations change every day as guys get sent down to the D-League and called up to the NBA, and entire rosters are completely reshuffled every offseason. As a result, there's no steady fan base and no one's too concerned about building chemistry or winning games.
Contrast that with the Euroleague, where the one and only goal is to win games. It's a higher level of competition, and young guys have to earn minutes instead of being gifted them. They can focus on playing winning basketball instead of being pressured into proving themselves worthy of an NBA contract every night. They have a whole season or more of continuity to develop a relationship with teammates, coaches, and fans. This process seems like a more promising method to develop high-quality roleplayers, and it also seems like a better way to test a player's NBA potential by seeing first hand how they can help a team win games. And of course, as an added perk, the players make more money than they would in the D-League, and we hopefully help our Euroleague partner as well by shuttling young talent in their direction.
