I don't get why people think their players going to the minor leagues is a bad thing. How many rookies come in and set the league on fire. 4-5 a year. Most take till the end of the season to contribute. Maybe if you put them in the NBDL, they could show more sooner.

I actually did understand what you said, but what I'm saying is, is that Green will be better off to sit on the bench and practice with NBA guys, as well as have the support of the whole Celtic staff throughout the season, then he'd be if he spend his first year in the NBDL with one Celtic coach.

If he's not going to be playing (in the games), I wholeheartedly disagree.

Methinks he'll play 20 games to start, barring injuries to anyone on the Celtics.

I disagree as well. In practice, he may become better at all the skills involved in a game, but that doesn't mean he can actually put it all together in a game situation. Playing in the NDBL will allow him to improve his skills and his in-game abilities. I'm sure Darko is light-years ahead skillwise compared to two years ago, but he has taken a step back in game situations it seems.
As someone who grew up watching hockey and their minor league system, I'm a huge advocate of these new D-league rules. I think it will do wonders for the development of players and for the product the NBA puts on the floor.

Re: OK, what players from draft likely to go to NBDL?
Players only get worse when they don't play in games. You need to have a feel for the pressure and the changes of pace and the physicality. High schoolers who sit the first couple of years never develop and never mature into good basketball players. Kobe, KG, T-Mac all saw good amounts of minutes their rookie seasons. Either give Green 10-15 min a game or send him to the D League to be a star.
