DES MOINES, IA, Nov. 4, 2011- The 2011 NBA D-League Champion Iowa Energy announced today that they have obtained Darion "Jake" Anderson in a trade with the Dakota Wizards.

Anderson, a 6'2" guard from Iowa State University, averaged 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds for the Cyclones last season.

"We identified Jake as someone we really wanted on our team. He had a great year at Iowa State last season, and has shown an ability to play professionally. He's a tough kid, a good teammate and we expect him to play a big role for us as we defend our title," said Energy General Manager Chris Makris.

Iowa traded guard Shy Ely to Dakota in exchange for the rights to Anderson. Ely averaged 7.0 points in 21 games with the Energy last season. He will be reunited in Dakota with former Energy assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren, who is now the head coach of the Wizards.

Season tickets for the Energy's 24 games home schedule are now on sale. For more information, visit www.IowaNBA.com. Season tickets start at just $199 per seat, and include a number of special benefits.
