2015 NBA Development League expansion draft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2015 NBA Development League expansion draft was the eighth expansion draft of the National Basketball Association Development League (D-League). The draft was held on August 20, 2015, so that the newly founded Raptors 905 could acquire players for the upcoming 2015–16 season. The 16 players were chosen from a pool of unprotected players among the league's teams. Each returning D-League team could protect up to 12 of their players from being selected.
