The 2025 Hoop Obsession G-League Report
Each year, we dedicate time to focus on the NBA G-League, a key part of our process. This takes place right before we transition into the intensive college scouting that runs from late January through early April. As part of our evaluation, we conduct a comprehensive statistical analysis of the G-League, but only after watching multiple full games. Most of these players were already on our radar from live viewings during Summer League or past G-League events.
Following our game reviews and deep dive into the numbers, we’ve selected 15 standout players who make up our 2024-25 All G-League Team (so far). These players have earned their place through exceptional performances and consistent impact. We believe these are the players that NBA teams should be closely monitoring. Last year, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Jay Huff were two players we highlighted in our annual G-League report, and both are now rotational pieces in Memphis.
Oscar Tshiebwe – Salt Lake City. 6’8” 255 lbs. Tshiebwe, currently on a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz, is redefining the art of rebounding. At 25 years old, he stands out as one of the best undersized rebounders in years. With hands like suction cups and an uncanny ability to anticipate and beat others to the ball, his impact on the court is undeniable. His full-season G-League net rating of +14.1 underscores his value, while his performance on the Hoop Obsession Calculation (HOC) scale marks him as the most efficient per-minute player in the league.
Although Tshiebwe doesn’t have a three-point shot and is still refining his offensive decision-making, his strengths far outweigh his limitations. Shooting 54.7% from the field and 71.9% from the free-throw line, he has the tools to carve out a niche on a team stocked with shooters. Before the 2023 NBA Draft, we noted that Tshiebwe’s elite rebounding made him uniquely valuable, and his performance this season only reinforces that belief.
People that think a 6’8” guy can’t possibly play Center full time in the NBA are not thinking correctly. Forget that he is 6’8”. His wingspan is 7’3.5” which is equal to Karl-Anthony Towns, and Alex Len. Tshiebwe’s length is greater than Giannis Antetokounmpo by a half inch. Oscar’s wingspan is more than an inch longer than Daniel Gafford, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Goga Bitadze.
Skal Labissiere – Stockton. 6’10” 235. Labissiere continues to improve. He is now 28 years-old and we think he could certainly be in the NBA again. The former first round pick (28th overall in 2016) is averaging 14.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game while shooting 62.2% FG, and 39.5% 3-pt. FG. He has a 1.59-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio and he’s been a plus defender this season too. Labissiere is presently an unrestricted free agent.
Dominick Barlow – College Park. 6’8” 215. If Barlow can develop a reliable deep shot, his path to the NBA could be all but guaranteed. Until then, he’s likely to continue honing his craft in the G-League. At just 21 years old, Barlow boasts an impressive combination of size and skill. He’s ambidextrous in his finishing, showing versatility around the rim. Currently on a two-way deal with the Atlanta Hawks, he’s been a key player for their affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks, shooting an efficient 59% from the field. However, his three-point accuracy lags at just 23.7%. There are signs of progress, though: his free-throw shooting has steadily improved over the past two seasons, now at a respectable 76%, hinting at the potential for greater shooting range in the future. His recent 30-point performance in just 28 minutes highlights his offensive upside, while his growing ability to cut and contribute within a team framework suggests a player on the rise.
E.J. Harkless – Salt Lake City. 6’3” 195. Harkless gets our nod as the best guard in the G-League this season. In a recent win, he had 32 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. The 24-year-old is on a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz. He is right-handed but he uses either hand well. Harkless is presently shooting 40.8% from three-point range and 80.7% FT. He has a 1.63-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Harkless (UNLV) went undrafted in 2023.
T.J. Warren – Westchester. 6’8” 220. At 31 years old, the veteran is proving his passion for the game by competing in the G-League. Players with Warren’s combination of size and offensive skill are rare to come by. He’s shooting an impressive 36.9% from three-point range on high volume, showcasing his ability to stretch the floor. Additionally, his solid 1.6-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio highlights his willingness to share the ball effectively. However, Warren’s defensive limitations mean he would be best suited for NBA teams with strong defensive systems capable of masking his weaknesses on that end of the court. Currently an unrestricted free agent, he brings both experience and offensive versatility to the table. That said, his disdain for G-League officials has been evident, with four technical fouls in just 20 games this season.
Tyty Washington – Valley. 6’3” 195. Our favorite G-League point guard is Tyty Washington. The 23-year-old is averaging 20 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game. Washington is under contract to the Phoenix Suns (two-way). He owns a very nice 2.8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio while shooting 37% from three-point range. He is money at the foul line too (89.3%). Tyty was a first round pick in 2022 (29th overall).
Quentin Post – Santa Cruz. 7’0” 238. Post, a 24-year-old rookie on a two-way contract with the Golden State Warriors, is making a strong impression in his first professional season. Averaging 19.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, he’s proving to be a versatile contributor. He’s also displayed his ability to stretch the floor, knocking down 34% of his three-point attempts (32-of-93). Selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Post still has room to grow, particularly as a decision-maker. His assist-to-turnover ratio currently leans negative, reflecting an area in need of refinement. Nonetheless, his production and potential make him a player to watch.
Reggie Perry – Greensboro. 6’8” 250. Perry is a skilled big body forward with a solid feel for the game. He is a 24-year-old that was drafted late in round two in 2020. He is averaging 15.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game while hitting 35.6% of his three-point attempts. He uses his big behind to carve space making it difficult for any defender. Perry is an unrestricted free agent.
Drew Timme – Long Island. 6’10” 235. Timme’s inability to consistently hit three-point shots remains the primary barrier keeping him from the NBA. While his offensive prowess—particularly in the post—is undeniable, his long-range shooting continues to be a glaring weakness. He’s connected on just 11.5% of his three-point attempts this season (3-of-26). Recently signing with Long Island’s G-League team, Timme has wasted no time making an impact. Through his first five games, he’s averaging an impressive 24 points and 10 rebounds per game, showcasing his scoring touch and ability to crash the boards.
Kevon Harris – College Park. 6’5” 216. Harris is among the most complete players in the G-League. He is 27 years old and presently he is an unrestricted free agent. Harris is averaging 19.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. He is an excellent accurate shooter that is making 44.6% of his three-point shots, and 87.9% of his free throws. He has a 1.48-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. There is no doubt Harris is better than many younger players that are getting minutes in the NBA.
Riley Minix – Austin. 6’7” 230. Despite going undrafted, Minix impressed the Spurs staff enough to earn a two-way contract. At 24 years old, the older rookie is making the most of his opportunity, averaging 19.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. His season net rating of +17.8 highlights his strong overall impact. Minix has proven to be a reliable shooter, connecting on 42% of his three-point attempts and 85.3% from the free-throw line. Additionally, his basketball IQ shines through with a solid 1.62-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, demonstrating his ability to make smart decisions on the court.
Damion Baugh – Westchester. 6’4” 194. Baugh is a 24-year-old point guard that is an unrestricted free agent. Baugh owns an impressive 2.76-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio while knocking down 36.4% of his three-balls. He is averaging 13 points and 7.2 assists per game. Baugh is among only ten G-Leaguers to have a triple-double this season. Most importantly, he has a G-League best 17 wins (tied with teammate Chuma Okeke) under his belt this season.
N’Faly Dante – Rio Grande Valley. 6’11” 230. Dante, a 23-year-old rookie, has quickly established himself as a dynamic lob threat and rim protector. Signed to a two-way contract with the Houston Rockets, he’s been a standout in the G-League this season. In just 23 minutes per game across 18 contests, Dante is posting impressive averages of 12.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocked shots, all while maintaining an outstanding net rating of +18.1. His efficiency and impact on both ends of the floor make him a player to watch as he continues to develop.
Leonard Miller – Iowa. 6’10” 220. Miller was an early second round pick (33rd overall) in 2023. He is signed by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Miller has gawdy averages of 24.4 points, and 11.8 rebounds per game for the Iowa Wolves. Miller has improved his shooting accuracy this season. He is now making 87% of his free throws! He’s at 36.1% 3-pt. fg. Miller (age 21) still has a way to go with his feel for team ball. He has 53 assists but 52 turnovers.
J.D. Davison – Maine. 6’1” 195. To take the next step in his development, Davison needs to improve his three-point accuracy. While the rest of his game is strong—highlighted by his rare ability to score as a post-up guard—his outside shooting remains a clear weakness. This season in the G-League, he’s shooting just 30.9% from beyond the arc, consistent with his previous struggles: 30.1% in 2022-23, 31.3% last season, and 30.1% during his lone college season at Alabama. On a positive note, Davison has made significant strides at the free-throw line, boosting his percentage to a career-best 79.8%. If he can bring that same improvement to his long-range shooting, he could become an even more complete and impactful player.
Jahmi’us Ramsey – Oklahoma City. 6’3”, 190. The former second round pick of the Sacramento Kings is now 23 years-old, playing for his life as an unrestricted free agent. The main attraction with Ramsey is deep shooting. He’s netting 39.1% of his three-balls in the G-League. He’s shown improvement as a rebounding guard. He’s averaging 19.1 points, 5.4 boards, and 3.2 assists per game.
Kevin Knox – Santa Cruz. 6’8” 215. Knox entered the 2018 NBA Draft as an early entrant and was selected ninth overall by the Knicks. Despite being in the league for several years, it’s easy to forget that Knox is still only 25 years old—far from past his prime. This season, he’s averaging an impressive 20.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting a solid 39.7% from three-point range. Notably, Knox has made strides in his playmaking, now recording slightly more assists than turnovers, a marked improvement from his early years.
Kennedy Chandler. Raptors 905. 5’11” 170. A long-time favorite of ours, Chandler is now 22 years old. He is an unrestricted free agent after being drafted early in the second round in 2022. Chandler is making 52% FG, while netting 39.1% of his three-point shots. He has improved his three-point percentage each season. He has a 2.82-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Chandler does remain a defensive liability. It’s not that he doesn’t try hard, he is just a smaller man in a league of tall people.
Honorable Mention: The best player we didn’t mention above is Moses Brown. Some others that caught our eyes include Jahlil Okafor, Adama Sonogo, Mamadi Diakite, and Donovan Williams.
Notes: There have been eleven 40 or more-point performances this season in the G-League. Cam Spencer, a rookie for Memphis had 51 points as the season’s best to date. Houston rookie, Reed Sheppard busted 49 points in his first G-League game last week. Minnesota rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. is averaging 36.5 points in his four G-League appearances.
Among the young G-League players that are eligible to be drafted in 2025, I enjoyed seeing Dink Pate’s obvious improvement. He is making 35.8% of his deep balls. He joins Keyon Menifield, London Johnson, Isaac Nogues, Thierry Darlan, and Abdullah Ahmed as prospects that will have their games dissected more thoroughly before the NBA Draft. …It was GREAT to see the G-League open up to fans again! More of that please!
The NBA's official minor league is now in year 24. For the first time, all 30 NBA franchises have an affiliate team in the league. Including the independent team in Mexico City, the league now has 31 teams, maintaining the same total as the 2023-24 season. However, this season brings notable changes. The Valley Suns have joined the league, while G League Ignite, previously based in Henderson, NV, is no longer participating. Additionally, there has been a franchise relocation, with the Ontario Clippers rebranding as the San Diego Clippers and moving their home games to suburban Oceanside.
