I'm not wealthy but I think if I were young and athletic enough to play in the G League, I couldn't afford to do that and raise a family. It seems the Knicks haven't really found any true gems in the G League.

Portis, Kornet, and Galloway were the ones I recall, although I think only Galloway played for the W Knicks. Jacob Toppin was drafted and has been "stashed" on the W Knicks, but not sure if he's going to stay in the NBA or now. Sadly, none of the 10 best NBA G League players have played with the Knicks. https://clutchpoints.com/10-most-successful-g-league-vets-in-the-nba

After watching Skapintsev play in Westchester a few games, I was disappointed seeing how little he contributed to the Knicks when he got his chance. Charlie Brown "looks like" he should be an NBA player even though he doesn't really play like one, but there's his name, at least.

The best times for the W Knicks have been when some of our NBA players were there getting in shape or waiting to be called up to the big team.

Jeremy Lin also...

Didn‘t Starks come from the predecessor of the G-League?
