What does Jalen Green's decision to join the G League's new professional path venture mean for the NBA and the future of the NBA draft?

Green, the potential No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, announced on Thursday that he is bypassing college basketball in a move with massive ramifications. The G League is in the process of recruiting more draft prospects and veteran players to join Green in a one-year development program that will exist outside of the minor league's traditional team structure.

ESPN's NBA experts Jonathan Givony, Mike Schmitz and Bobby Marks answer the big questions about the decision and its impact.
