New league for prep standouts sends 2 players to NBA combine

This photo provided by Overtime Elite shows Dominick Barlow in Atlanta on Sept. 15, 2021. Barlow will be one of the 76 prospects at the NBA draft combine this week in Chicago. But he didn’t take the conventional route through the college ranks. Or the NBA’s G League Ignite. Or playing overseas. He turned down college offers to receive on-the-job training through Overtime Elite, a new basketball league created to give high school players another path to the pros.

Or playing overseas. He turned down college offers to receive on-the-job training through Overtime Elite, a new basketball league created to give high school players another path to the pros. He got paid -- a six-figure salary -- as he learned about nutrition, social-media skills, financial literacy and, of course, the art of basketball.
