The NBA has the D-League to nurse its young stars, and the CBA has its equivalent in the National Basketball League (NBL).
Since debuting in 2009, the NBL has grown into a 10-team league that plays during the summer. It provides a stage for the country's future stars to gain some experience.
"Although it's not the top league in China yet, the NBL has a great potential to be an elite one in the future," said Chai Wensheng, deputy director of the league office, at the launch of the 2012 season in Beijing on Tuesday.
