“The idea of competing—come here and don’t go to Duke—the idea that anyone from the G League is actively recruiting against college, that this is better than college, I wouldn’t do that, and I’ve instructed everyone in our group, that’s not our position,” Abdur-Rahim said. “We’re presenting our position and what we have to offer. If we go to a young man and he says ‘This is better,’ that’s a choice. And that’s a good thing … the young man should be able to choose. And they’ve said on their own, I’m going to choose. For a kid to pick up and go to Australia, he’s choosing on his own. For a kid to take a year off, he’s choosing on his own.”
