    He got drafted in the 10th round by North Charleston.

    Man, I thought someone in the NBA would pick him up for a Bobby Jackson offense off the bench type role. Anyway, It's good to know that he'll be getting to play some decent minutes somewhere to work on his game without having to go overseas. Don't think he'll like the paycheck or the food expense(happy meal) there though.

    Good luck man, hope you make it back to the A league soon.

    At least we know where to find a good backup if our point guards get hurt.
    Good Luck T. Brown

    Man, how depressing is that. One week, you're in the NBA, and the next, you're a TENTH round NBDL draft pick? I didn't know the NBDL even HAD a draft?!

    I'm not an NBDL expert or anything, but I think they tend to not draft talent that they think will be called up early in the draft. Why draft an NBA player that's going to get called up early in the season? He can help for the first part of the season, but it hurts continuity and chemistry to lose a good player for nothing. Don't say that the NBDL isn't about winning, because the coaches in that league are trying to earn respect to be considered for assistant coaching jobs in the NBA and the players are trying to earn spots in the NBA. That's the only reason that is coming to mind right now as to why Tierre would be a 10th round pick, unless there are really that many better players than him outside of the NBA.
