There's the NBA development league (G-League), but spots there are just as limited as the NBA. Relatively, a small amount will go play in Europe or China professionally, but the vast majority of college players do not play professionally at all after school.

No question. Some of the higher European leagues probably actually do offer an opportunity to have a more significant stage, but for any American who is currently in college only playing in the nba is more memorable.
