Game Quote by Billy Donovan
“I think some players are looking at it from a development standpoint that, 'If I go into the G League, I'm playing NBA rules, I can learn the NBA game, I'm going to grow and mature quicker in that kind of environment.' And there's some truth to that. But this idea that college coaches can't develop players, I don't agree with that.”
