Columbus Riverdragons News Release


GREENVILLE, S.C., October 26 – Former Auburn University guard Adam Harrington has been allocated to the Columbus Riverdragons of the NBA's National Basketball Development League, according to an announcement by NBDL director of basketball operations Chris Alpert.

This will be Harrington's second stop in Columbus. The 6-5, 200-pound shooting guard played in 17 games for the Riverdragons last season, averaging 26.4 minutes, 11.2 points and 1.7 rebounds. He was waived by Columbus on March 31 to rehabilitate a nagging injury, but rebounded to play on the Indiana Pacers NBA summer league team at the 2004 Rocky Mountain Revue.

Each NBDL team is allocated two players. Up to 17 players will report to training camps in each market, and a minimum of one allocation player is guaranteed a spot on each team's final roster of 10 players.

Harrington, whose last season at Auburn was 2001-02, played for both the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks during the 2002-03 NBA season. In 19 NBA games he averaged 1.6 points and 0.4 rebounds per game. He has also played internationally in China.

Before declaring as an early entry for the 2002 NBA Draft, Harrington averaged 10.1 points and 3.5 rebounds as a junior at Auburn. He made a team-high 52 three-pointers that season (2001-02).

The NBDL, the NBA's minor league, includes the Fayetteville Patriots (N.C.), Florida Flame (Ft. Myers), Huntsville Flight (Ala.), Roanoke Dazzle (Va.), Columbus Riverdragons (Ga.) and Asheville Altitude (N.C.).

The league offers players the opportunity to develop their talent in a highly competitive atmosphere under the NBA's umbrella. Twenty-eight (28) players have been called up the NBA on 39 separate occasions. Nine former NBDL coaches, five athletic trainers, six referees and 28 front office executives have also been called up since the start of the league's inaugural season in November 2001.

Designed to help grow the sport of basketball both domestically and internationally, the league also offers fun, family entertainment at affordable prices. The NBDL is a source of on-court talent for the NBA's 30 teams and is a diverse human resources pool for the NBA and its teams by training employees in management, operations, public relations, sales and marketing positions.
