With the NIL, he could have made just as much with endorsements at LSU than games checks from the G-League.

People continue to grossly over estimate what the NIL will bring in.

You can make all the comments you want about Wade paying guys to return to college, but these two way contracts often end up in the nba in year one (at least for a little) and are looking at 6 figures.

Trendon Watford and javonte smart are not making 6 figures on NIL agreements.

Dude, Alabama's QB has already inked $800k in endorsements and he's completed 13 passes his entire college career. I'm pretty sure some potential SEC players of year can swing $100k worth.

Okay you’re grossly overestimating how many of those guys end up in the league. It’s still very hard for a 2 way guy to get on an NBA roster, even in year 1. It typically takes a little time. Also, there are some outliers, but typically you don’t have any guys going from the g-league, and becoming mainstays in the NBA. Just hard to happen.
