Robert Heyer, from Worland, is also on that roster. That is crazy to see two Wyoming kids getting a shot at the G-league at the same time. Worland and Torrington combined is about 12k people.

This is not meant as a slam agains Mac, but how does he end up on the Lakers G Squad and Adams and Cooke toil away on foreign teams.... Weird

I assume that both Adams and Cooke have chosen to play elsewhere. The G Squad stuff doesn't really pay very well. Just a fraction of what Adams is making (not sure about Cooke).

Josh Adams contract with the turkey team is pretty big... Six figures I'm sure. He can make a better living until something tangible opens in the NBA.

Yup, at this point, the G League gives you more visibility to the NBA teams and to fans, but overseas can really pay better in many cases and you could even argue the chance at better competition. Cooke was in the G League for a bit, but decided to go overseas this year.

The biggest contract for a G League player is $26,000 a season. I'm guessing JMac will start at the B level though, which is $19,500.
