RidiculousUpside.com Names 2014-15 All-NBA D-League Rookie Team Selections

Here are RidiculousUpside.com's selections for all-NBADL Rookie Teams from the 2014-15 minor league season.

Point Guard: Bryce Cotton, Austin Spurs

Crafted in an similar mold to former D-League superstar Andrew Goudelock, former Spurs guard Bryce Cotton might have been the most explosive scorer in the NBADL prior to his Jazz call-up. With Austin, Cotton averaged 22.4 points on 47% from the field, 45% from the perimeter and 90% from the charity stripe. Although he wasn't the finest distributor in the league, as he averaged 4.6 assists per game, the Spurs were 25-9 when Cotton was with the team.

Shooting Guard: Jabari Brown, Los Angeles D-Fenders

On a LA D-Fenders squad that has featured notable NBA prospects Roscoe Smith, Vander Blue and Jamaal Franklin, it was impressive to see that Jabari Brown was never lost in the shuffle. In fact, the 6'5 guard was able to etch his name among the league's best by averaging 24.4 points (45% from the field and 39% from deep).

That consistent play ultimately lead Brown to getting a 10-day deal with the LA Lakers where he's currently averaging 9.3 points per game on 42% shooting.

Small Forward: Roscoe Smith, Los Angeles D-Fenders

While the D-Fenders were never able to get out of first gear (they finished the season with a poor 17-33 record), Smith got off to a hot start and never looked back. For the season, the young gun averaged 18.1 points (53% from the field), and 11 rebounds.

Power Forward: James Michael McAdoo, Santa Cruz Warriors

The story of James McAdoo has probably been the most recent example of how important that the NBADL can be for players. After not being picked in the 2014 NBA Draft, McAdoo made his way to the Santa Cruz Warriors where he made an immediate impact. With Santa Cruz, McAdoo averaged 19.5 points (57.5% from the field and 68% from the FT line), 8.7 boards and 2 steals. During that time, he exhibited himself as one of the most destructive dribble penetrators in the NBADL, as he gave the D-League some of its most electrifying dunks.

That performance helped push McAdoo to a contract with the Golden State Warriors, where he's had a handful of solid performances.

Center: Khem Birch, Sioux Falls Skyforce

Though Birch didn't put up the eye-popping stats as Benimon, he stood as a pretty solid two-way front-court player. On the offensive end, Birch averaged 11.2 points (on 70% from the field) and 9.7 rebounds (3.5 offensive boards) per game. Meanwhile on the defensive end, he averaged 1.8 blocks while also being one of the main cogs behind them being one of the better defenses in the D-League.
