<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Los Angeles D-Fenders have made history in the 2006 NBA Development League Draft with the selection of Devin Green as the team's number one first round selection (7th overall) and Aloysius Anagonye in the second round (18th overall). Green, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound guard, is no stranger to the D-Fenders family, most recently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers 2006 Summer-Pro League team where he averaged 14.4 points and 2.0 assists per game. During the 2005-06 NBA season he spent time on the hardwood with the Lakers, after being signed by the team as an undrafted rookie free agent. "It feels good to stay in the family. I'm comfortable in the system, and it's a great place to show my talents," said Green. "It will be great to play for D-Fenders Coach Dan Panaggio." Green ranks 4th all-time in points (1,757) at Hampton University and was chosen to the All-MEAC first team as both a junior and a senior. "He's an excellent player and we are glad to have him as part of the D-Fenders," said Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Anagonye, a 6-foot-8, 260-pound power forward, ranked third in all-time leading shots blocked (88) and averaged 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game at Michigan State. He spent the 2005-06 season in Spain with DKV Joventut Badalona and pervious seasons in Italy, the Euroleague, and the Adriatic League. Devin Green, Aloysius Anagonye and the additional eight players selected in the 10 round draft will participate in the D-Fenders training camp set to begin November 11 in El Segundo, CA. The Los Angeles D-Fenders open the 2006-07 season on the road on November 24 in Anaheim and then debut at home on the hardwood at STAPLES Center on November 28 at 3:30 p.m. against San Joaquin Valley rivals the Bakersfield Jam. On July 31st of this year the Los Angeles Lakers announced that they had become the first NBA franchise in history to own an NBA Development League team. The Los Angeles D-Fenders will play their home games at STAPLES Center pre and post Lakers home games. The Lakers devoted fans were given the opportunity to name the NBA D-League team in an online naming contest. </div> Link Interesting. So Devin Green will now be playing for our D-League team
<div class="quote_poster">heyvoon Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">is that good or bad???</div> It can be seen as good because Green is not being overlooked and waived by the team in order to keep an even 15 roster. We can also keep Mckie for a trade down the line or just wait out his contract.
