NBA D-League  |  Prospect Watch  |  

Jeff Adrien, Rio Grande Valley Vipers - Adrien racked up more double-doubles over the weekend and now has eight in his last ten games. The Vipers are an impressive 15-2 since acquiring the forward in a trade with the Erie BayHawks with Adrien averaging 19.8 points and 12.2 rebounds for Rio Grande Valley.

Joe Alexander, Texas Legends - Alexander had one of his best games of the year on Wednesday, torching New Mexico for 28 points and 13 rebounds. Alexander and Adrien are the only players in the NBA D-League that average double-figures in rebounding.

Derrick Byars, Bakersfield Jam - Byars has done a great job filling Trey Johnson's sneakers as the Jam's top offensive threat. The former Chicago Bull earned Performer of the Week honors after lighting up the Springfield Armor for 43 points on Saturday. Since joining Bakersfield in January, the 6-7 wing is averaging 19.5 points, highlighted by a red hot .444 (28-63) mark from three-point range.

Antonio Daniels, Texas Legends - Daniels continues to be the league's best as running an offense, dishing out 35 assists with only seven turnovers over the past week. He's also displayed some explosiveness on offense as well, putting up a season-high 27 points against Tulsa on Friday.

Steve Novak, Reno Bighorns - Novak joined the Bighorns on Friday and wasted no time in displaying his main talent as a three-point marksman. Novak, who began this season as a Dallas Maverick, went 9-16 from long-range in his first two games with the Bighorns. Novak averaged 18.5 points over his first two games and should be in line for a quick call-up with his resume of NBA experience.

Chris Johnson, Dakota Wizards - Johnson returned to the Wizards on Friday after ten-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers. He got right back to business as one of the NBA D-League's top centers, averaging 17.5 points and 10.5 rebounds over the weekend while shooting .667 (14-21) from the field.

Ronald Dupree, Utah Flash - The NBA veteran has been a consistent scorer since joining the Flash in mid-January. The 6-7 Dupree is posting 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds so far in 2010-11.

Courtney Sims, Iowa Energy - Sims had some off games in late January but stepped up for Iowa with fellow call-up candidate Othyus Jeffers out with an injury. The center scored 20.3 points with 8.0 rebounds over his first four games in February, shooting .586 (34-58) from the field.

DeShawn Sims, Maine Red Claws - The Red Claws continue to struggle, but Sims has been a consistent force as a scorer, rebounder, and three-point shooter. Over his last six games he's averaging 21.0 points and 6.8 rebounds for Maine.

Curtis Stinson, Iowa Energy - Stinson makes his way onto this list for the first time after posting his third triple-double in the last month. The veteran point guard lacks a consistent outside shot and can be prone to turnovers, but he fills the boxscore and is the engine behind Iowa's East Conference leading 23-9 record.
