## Caption

From undrafted rookies to two-way contract grinders to first-rounders who needed extra reps, many NBA players spent time proving themselves in the G League before finding their footing on an NBA floor.

It’s a reminder that the path to the league isn’t always a straight line, sometimes it runs through Rio Grande Valley, Santa Cruz or Delaware. Respect to everyone who had to take the long road.
