description Darius Bazley, who turned 18 earlier this month, is one of the best basketball players his age in the country -- a 6-foot-9 forward with ball-handling skill rare for his size. Along with a few peers in the elite ranks of high school basketball, Bazley faces a peculiar problem: His talents are worth millions in the NBA, but he can't cash in because the league bars players who aren't at least 19 years old. Since he isn't eligible to walk the stage at the NBA's June 21 draft in New York, he had to consider his options. If basketball fans think about the G League at all, it's usually as a place where nobodies play for no money in front of no one. In April the NBA raised the G League's minimum salary from $19,000 to $35,000 for the five-month season that will start in November, which mainly underscored how little the league has paid since it started in 2001.
