The NBA G League Ignite will tip off their third season as a developmental program on Nov. 4 with a full 50-game schedule from their new home in Henderson, Nevada.
The stated goal of the Ignite is to provide development opportunities for those prospects looking to play professionally. The team offers the players a platform to showcase their skills in front of scouts and executives against G League competition.
The program has helped produce several first-round picks, including Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Dyson Daniels and MarJon Beauchamp. The team is once again expected to have more players drafted next year with several prospects on the roster.
The team will play a pair of preseason games this week against Metropolitans 92 of the LNB Pro A beginning on Tuesday. The contest, which will air on ESPN 2, will feature two possible top-five picks in Scoot Henderson and Victor Wembanyama.
With the Ignite set to hit the court, Rookie Wire took a look at their final roster, which features a blend of up-and-coming prospects and several experienced veterans.
