If you sign a two-way contract.
There are 57 two-way contracts right now, per gleague.nba.com.
It's apparently hard to find the total # of G League players without counting rosters, so I eyeballed about 12 players on an average roster, then multiplied that by the number of teams (26). That gets us roughly 312 players or so in the G League?
57/312 = 0.183
So roughly 82 percent of G Leaguers are getting paid either $19,500 or $26,000.
Factoring in room and board and the stipends that athletes receive; ignoring the value of a free education, college players receive about the same (and for the most part they are not playing in s-hole cities and arenas).
