1st Round - Duane Erwin 2nd Round - Hiram Fuller 3rd Round - Brian Chase 4th Round - Kevin Johnson 5th Round - Josh Gross 6th Round - Jackie Manuel 7th Round - Erik Daniels 8th Round - Isiah Victor 9th Round - Reed Rawlings 10th Round - Tremaine Fowlkes Source I know the NBADL isn't very popular, but I have an interest in the Lakers one, because it's like our own minor league team. This group will be learning the Triangle Offense and is directly affiliated with the Lakers. The other teams in the NBADL are shared by three or four NBA teams, we get our very own.
I read about the Lakers buying a team in the DLeague but I really didn't think of it too much to be honest. However, if they are running the triangle offense we will be able to instantly insert our DL players immediately and make an impact. Our late 1st and 2nd round picks can take a year or two in the DL to develop and learn the triangle, which is something Bynum might be able to benefit from if he isn't ready by training camp. I'm really interested to see how this will turn out for us.
We are very fortunate to have our very own NBDL team. And, like most of you know, we are the only team in the NBA to own one. Anyways, as for the draft, I havent really heard of any of them except for Tremaine Fowlkes (I remember him on NBA Live). Anyways, best of luck to everyone on the roster. I think Von Wafer and Marcus Douhit are still playing with us right? Wafer and Douhit = Kobe and Shaq
Who made up the name D-Fenders? Lol. Anyway, yeah you guys are pretty lucky to have your own NBDL team, while the others share with one. Hopefully, some of these guys will be able to wear a Laker uniform one day.

The player I'm hoping pans out is Jackie Manuel. He was an outstanding defender at UNC.
The LA Breakers sound so much better than the d-fenders. dammit. Who are the fans who voted! LOL. they should be fired!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Brian:</div><div class="quote_post"> Wafer and Douhit = Kobe and Shaq</div> Douhit was far from being Shaq when he played in Europe. He was a mediocre center in a mediocre leauge and he had a bad attitude!

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting chuck.be:</div><div class="quote_post">Douhit was far from being Shaq when he played in Europe.

Douhit, although may not be the most talented player, is a guy that will do the dirty work, and he is a pretty decent rebounder. I would actually replace Brian Cook for Marcus Douhit on the active roster if possible.
