Who stood out? Hell, who tried out?

Can anyone post a list?

[CHris902]

Anyone have any info at all about the camp or who is on the draft list or anything? The internet seems totally devoid of anything of that sort.

This is where the PBL should provide some info. But instead they send out releases about their uniform deal with JG Gear.

I heard any player can be selected, kind of like the CBA draft. I don't think theres a pool of limited players.

[not so fast]

As per usual the league trying to do too many things at once. And we all know the best thing they can do is get one thing working well before you start another venture.

However that being said, no one really knows how this draft really works. I am sure that the 120 players at the pbl national tryout camp, are under the impression that they were in the draft pool. Well teams are finding thier own players for the draft, so it appears that these 120 players who were there from all across the country, came to Chicago only to be dumped for each home teams local guys.

So in essence, none of the players at the national camp will be drafted. I admit, most could not play even at the pbl bench level. But five or six of them could and now they have been misled by the league.

I am not sure what the purpose of the national draft camp was, if in fact teams can sign or draft anyone else from anywhere. Too bad these players were not informed of this, the league has sent them letters about be ready for the draft. Why? when they know that none of them will be drafted. Playing with the emotions of these guys is really not a very professional way to do things by the league.
