November 2, 2012 - NBA G League (G League) News Release


NEW YORK, NOV. 2, 2012 - The Fort Wayne Mad Ants selected JaJuan Johnson (6-10, 220, Purdue) with the first overall pick of the 2012 NBA Development League Draft Live via Cisco WebEx on Friday Night. The Sioux Falls Skyforce drafted Andrew Goudelock (6-3, 200, Charleston) with the draft's second overall pick, and the Idaho Stampede chose Justin Harper (6-9, 225, Richmond) with the third overall selection.

A former first-round NBA Draft selection by the then-New Jersey Nets (27th overall, 2011) Johnson was traded to the Boston Celtics prior to the 2011-12 NBA season. In 36 games for the Celtics last season, Johnson averaged 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds. A four-year contributor and two-year starter at Purdue, Johnson was named All-Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year as a senior in 2011.

Other notable first-round selections include Christian Eyenga (6-5, 210, Congo), the former Cleveland Cavalier and Los Angeles Laker who was selected by the Texas Legends with the eighth overall;, Travis Leslie (6-4, 205, Georgia), who was selected 13th overall by the Santa Cruz Warriors and was a member of the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2011-12 NBA season; and Jack McClinton, a 2009 NBA draft selection by the San Antonio Spurs and the 12th overall selection by the Erie BayHawks on Friday night.

Complete rosters for each of the 16 2012-13 NBA D-League teams will be comprised of the players drafted on Friday, along with returning, affiliated and local tryout players. Rosters will be reduced from 17 players to opening-day 10-man rosters by Nov. 21 in anticipation of the Nov. 22 tip off of the NBA D-League's 12th season.

For the second straight year, all 16 NBA D-League teams and the NBA D-League headquarters in New York participated in the Draft exclusively through Cisco WebEx online collaboration solution, providing all markets a more connected experience using voice and video.
