Isaiah Todd, a projected lottery pick in the 2021 draft, told The Athletic that he has signed a contract in the NBA G League, joining fellow five-star player Jalen Green as the first two top high school prospects to turn pro in the developmental league. “I believe it was the best thing for my game and for my career to better myself for the NBA,” Todd told The Athletic. “It was very important to be prepared because the NBA is my lifelong dream. This option is the best way to go, being in the NBA’s backyard and to learn from pros and learn from NBA coaches and trainers. It’s about being prepared for the NBA. I think that’s the best way to go.
