Game Thread: Rio Grande Valley Vipers @ Texas Legends 2/1/2014

Good to see ohlbrecht putting up bigger numbers again with 29 points and 20 rebounds, on the downside everyone's favourite Troy Daniels went ice cold 0-7 from downtown.

On the draft side PJ Hairston dominated again with 30 points, also can someone explain to me how the whole go to the dleague instead of playing in college like glen rice jr last year, I'm a bit confused can anyone just do it? Or do you have to be a special case?

 

He was suspended, so he couldn't play ... the only way to be drafted is NBDL,Europe or stay home and wait.

 

Does the dleague have no rule on minimum age?

 

I don't know but PJ Harston is 21 years old so there wasn't a problem.Generally, i imagine a one and done approach like college can be done in the NBDL. But i am not sure.

 

Last I remember reading, you have to be at least 18 to play in the D-League.

 

It's an attempt to allow anyone of early age/status to earn a living playing hoops without being allowed in the NBA until one year past HS or 19 (IIRC), thus forestalling litigation.
