The NBA Development League will hold its annual draft Monday evening, an interesting state of affairs that will connect all 16 D-League teams via conference call as they select from 196 players to fill out their rosters by the end of the eight-round draft -- including 64 players that the coaches hadn't even been made aware of until late Saturday night due to the last-minute nature of players submitting their contracts to the league office.New Reno Bighorns head coach Eric Musselman, who has previously held the same position in the NBA with both the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, has taken an innovative approach in his attempt at building a winner in the D-League, just as he was able to in the now-defunct Continental Basketball Association as head coach of the Rapid City Thrillers in the early 90's.
"(Regional scout) Adam Engroff from the Miami Dolphins came in to help give us ideas on different ways the NFL would rank guys -- different color coding systems, evaluation processes," Musselman explained. "It was neat to learn from another sport and he gave us some of his ideas that were really useful for us."
