Arkansas and Fort Worth are no longer in existence, but four teams have taken their place. The Rio Grande Valley Vipers, which is the affiliate for the Cavs, Rockets, and Hornets took their 10 players and took JR Pinnock first. Pinnock played for the RimRockers last season. The Vipers also selected Terrence Thomas, Pinnock's former teammate Clay Tucker, former USC Trojan and Laker Desmon Farmer, and former Maryland Terp John Gilchrist.
The Fort Wayne Mad Ants reps the Pistons and Pacers, and picked former Flyer Jeremy Richardson with their first pick. They also added former Gator Anthony Roberson, Olu Famutimi, and Tyrone Salley.
The Utah Flash is the affiliate for the Jazz and Celtics, and they picked former RimRocker Brian Jackson first. They then went on to select a good group of players led by former Bobcat Kevin Burleson, Roger Powell, Curtis Stinson, and former Net big man Cezary Trybanski.
The Iowa energy probably made the best first pick with Will Conroy, they're the affiliate for the Bulls and Heat. They also took Jackie Manuel, a former Tar Heel, D-League star Denham Brown, former Stanford product Matt Haryasz, and former Bull Luke Schenscher.
Look for more D-League updates as time goes by.
