This is more related to the 2023 and beyond drafts but Overtime Elite is going to be very interesting to track.
They've added a pretty good list of top 2022 and 2023 College year(so 2023 and 2024 draft year) prospects and may end up rendering the G League Elite moot, unless the NBA wants to flex on OTE.
2022:
#8 247 Composite: Jazian Gortman
#35 247 Composite: Amen Thompson
4 Star: Ausar Thompson
2023:
#2 247 Composite: Matt Bewley
#12 247 Composite: Jalen Lewis
#16 247 Composite: Ryan Bewley
Also several 16-19 year old international players, including Jean Montero who has been projected as a 2022 draft first rounder. Ohio's own Chris Livingston who is a top5 player in the 2022 class will likely pick between G League Ignite and OTE
If all these guy stay in this year round development program, it will be interesting to see how many fare well in their draft classes. Whether OTE or G League Ignite(or both), I am really hoping we start to see a skills development pathway similar to what the top European kids have been getting for the past decade.
