Green's signing with Goodwin may help him snag a huge sneaker deal with a brand of his choosing.
According to Nick DePaula of ESPN, the Fil-Am cager is likely to get "several" seven-figure offers after joining the G League.
Green is set to join the NBA G League's select program in lieu of of going to college, despite getting offers from big schools in the US NCAA.
One of the prospects likely to join Green in the select program is the 7'2" Kai Sotto.
The select program will be a yearlong developmental program that will put the players under intense training and expose them to top G League Teams, international teams and NBA academies across the world.
Green was the top-ranked recruit coming out of high school and is projected to be the No. 1 draft pick in the NBA in 2021.
