Great Work, Quick Questions Again

Really great work lately guys, keep it up. Question for you is I am not sure if this is true, but I heard that there was a player drafted out of high school into the D-League...is that true? Which team is he on and can he be called up to an NBA (which) team? If so, why don't players do this more often? Sorry for all the questions and thanks, Brandon C.

Hey Brandon

Don’t mean to leave you hanging, just never look over here since we never get Fan Posts.

Latavious Williams was drafted as the last pick of the first round in the D-League draft this season by the Tulsa 66ers.

Stats can be found here.

He can’t be called-up this year (the one year removed from high school rule), but he is in the Oklahoma City system, so they’re getting a great look at a player they could draft next season.

I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

Alright, Thanks!

Williams would have to be redrafted or next year he can just be called up?
