Bulls, Kings and the Jazz have each only won a single game. submitted by /u/kgallo19 [link] [comments]

Dain Dainja, Jonathan Pierre, DJ Rodman, Long Island Nets, Getty Images While assignment players and two-ways typically generate whatever intrigue there is in the G League, there’s often a lot more than that going on down on the NBA’s farm.
