November 3, 2006 - NBA G League (G League)
Anaheim Arsenal News Release
Anaheim, Calif., November 3, 2006-The Anaheim Arsenal announced their 2006 NBA Development League Draft selections on Friday. After selecting Corsley Edwards as the first pick in team history, the Arsenal announced the remaining nine players selected in the draft.
With the 12th pick in the second round, the Arsenal selected shooting guard Andre Owens from the University of Houston. Owens mostly recently played for the Utah Jazz last season. Then with the first pick in the third round (25th overall) they selected 6-foot-10 power forward Tyler Smith from Penn State.
Since the draft is serpentine, or "snaked," the order was reversed in each of the 10 rounds. For example, after picking first, Anaheim then selected the 24th and 25th picks. Albuquerque selected last in the first round, but first in the second, giving the T-Birds the 12th and 13th overall picks.
A total of 16 players will now be invited to the team's training camp on November 12. The list includes the ten players selected in the draft, along with forward Jawad Williams and guard Justin Johnson, who were selected in the expansion draft. In addition the local allocation and local tryout players, which includes Jerry Dupree, Bryson McKenzie, Kendrick Cornelius and Marvin Phillips will also be given an opportunity to make the final ten-man roster for opening night on November 24.
