Last week we had the NBA trade deadline which meant there was a ton of movement (39 players traded to be exact!) in The Association. The D-League was affected by this as well as guys like Tim Frazier, Henry Walker, Earl Barron, David Stockton and Quincy Miller earned 10-day contracts will NBA clubs.Miller was our No. 1 NBA ready prospect in last week’s rankings and after two 10-day stints with the Sacramento Kings, we will see if he can stick this time with the Detroit Pistons. Our process here has been to have four D-League bloggers get together each week and vote on our top-15 NBA ready players in the D-League. With that information we average out the scores and bring you our top-10.
Scott Rafferty (@crabdribbles): Scott is the Editor at Upside & Motor covering the NCAA and D-League alike he’s become quite the know-it-all in each field. If he was permitted he would write articles, dedications, and a short haiku in honor of Tracy McGrady each day, but alas there is real work to be done.
Adam Johnson (@SeaDubsCentral): Adam is the Editor at Sea Dubs Central which covers the Santa Cruz Warriors of the D-League to the furthest extent of the Earth. If there is something you need or want to know about the D-League, it’s history or quirky facts hit this dude up because he knows it — and he will share it!
Drew Corrigan (@Dcorrigan50): Drew is the Editor of FanSided’s Sixer Sense and also contributes for SB Nation’s Ridiculous Upside regularly. He has a passion for the Sixers that burns deep in his loins, so do not question Hinkie and the fate of Philly unless you come ready to battle!
