Erie BayHawks News Release
ERIE - The Erie BayHawks will have the second overall selection in the 2009 NBA D-League draft next month. The lottery took place in Dallas, TX today at the League's annual coaches meetings.

"It's always exciting to welcome top NBA prospects into our draft and our league."
