RENO, Nev.- The Reno Bighorns will give fans an inside look at the 2009 NBA Development League Draft with a special viewing party at Brew Brothers, inside the Eldorado Casino, on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 3:30 p.m.

This free event is open to the public and will feature food and drink specials throughout the draft, door prizes and an appearance by the Bighorns dance team and mascot. Door prizes include autographed mini-basketballs, tickets and photos.

The party begins at 3:30 p.m., with the draft beginning promptly at 4 p.m. The entire draft will be televised, and fans in attendance will have the chance to view a live Web cam placed inside the Bighorns War Room.

Head Coach Jay Humphries will address those in attendance to break down the Bighorns selections, and former Nevada star and Harlem Globetrotter Eathan O'Bryant will provide pick-by-pick analysis.

Fans arriving to the party before 4 p.m. will be entered into a drawing, with the winner receiving an exclusive seat inside the Bighorns War Room with the coaching staff for the team's first selection.

The Bighorns hold the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft. There are 16 teams in the NBA Development League, and this year's draft will consist of eight rounds. In 2008, Reno drew the 10th overall pick and selected Louisiana Tech's Antonio Meeking in the first round.

Reno begins its second season on Nov. 28 at Idaho. The Bighorns open up at home on Dec. 5, facing off with the Los Angeles D-Fenders at the Reno Events Center.
