Veterans Skal Labissiere, Brandon Knight among players eligible for G League draft

Originally posted on Hoops Rumors | By Rory Maher | Last updated 10/22/21

NBA veterans Skal Labissiere and Brandon Knight are among a list of 101 players eligible for the 2021 G League Draft, which takes place Saturday, October 23.

Some other interesting players on the list, with varying amounts of NBA experience: Lance Stephenson, Nate Darling, Trevon Duval, Shamorie Ponds, Karim Mane and Joe Young.

Marc Stein of Substack noteds that Stephenson might land with the Nuggets’ affiliate, the Grand Rapids Drive.

Knight was signed and waived last week (Knicks), as was Darling (Clippers), so perhaps there were procedural issues with their affiliate rights, similar to what happened with the Hornets and LiAngelo Ball.
