NBA Draft and D-League Coverage

Tony Mitchell may have earned himself "Rookie of the Year" honors in the NBA D-League, but there's more work to be done if he wants to squeeze onto a big league roster this coming fall.

Tony Mitchell's 47 points on Friday night represented an NBADL season-high. The high-flying forward has stepped up during his team's time of need and may be on his way to emerging as a minor league star.

Last season Luke Harangody split his time between Cleveland and Canton and nearly led the Charge to the NBADL Finals. Now he's back in the D-League and putting in the work for another shot at playing in The Association.

Orlando Johnson brought explosive offense and athletic play to Fort Wayne and led the Mad Ants to their fourth win of the season against the Texas Legends on Friday night.

Sadiel Rojas has quietly emerged as one of the top shooting guards in the NBADL. His strong rebounding and efficient play (20.51 PER) have gained attention league wide. With his team-first mentality and drive to win, who knows how high he can soar?

Whereas many NBA hopefuls fight tooth and nail for a roster spot in training camp this month, D-League veteran Ron Howard has embraced Fort Wayne and will return to the Mad Ants next season in the city he now calls home.

The Fort Wayne Mad Ants decided to open up their head coaching job following a less-than-stellar season and, despite interviewing interim coach Steve Gansey for the position, Jeff Potter decided to add a bit more experience to the sideline.

Former Mad Ant, Walker Russell Jr., made a surprise visit to Fort Wayne, Indiana after having his best game yet in the NBA.
