I love the trade... here's hoping that that old front court will break down and he will get a chance to get called up again. In the mean time he's got great talent to play against on his own team and he can only get better as a result. I like the idea of what you proposed Dan... Kito's natural position is the 4 and if he can develop his game around that it can only improve his chances of getting called up.

I don't know if the NBDL works exactly like a minor league baseball or hockey team would and players can only be called up to their affiliates, locking Kito to the Knicks, but if not, Darko is reportedly walking out on the Celtics.
Torn between hating the Celtics and thinking how awesome it would be if I were in a position to watch his first legit NBA shot.

Any team can call up any player from the D-League at any time. Golden State called up Benson from Sioux Falls out of the blue last year. Even his coach was surprised. Other teams had been checking on him on a weekly basis. There were 4 NBA teams affiliated with Soux Falls and none of them called him up. Just so you know.

Thanks for the update. It may well make for better Thanksgiving Day viewing than the Lions game.

Benson scored 20 and had 10 boards in Erie's win last night (his second double double of the season). He's averaging 12 points and 7.8 rpg through 9 games so far.
Parenthetical tie-in to OU's game today against Eastern Michigan: EMU alum Brandon Bowdry is also on the Erie roster, scoring 2 points (with 1 rebound) in 3 minutes last night.

Nope. He's back with the Knickerbockers.

Also, Kito has #34 back.
