D-League expansion draft Wednesday. Should we get excited?

The D-League expansion draft takes place Wednesday with the Long Island Nets, Greensboro Swarm and Windy City Bulls starting to stock their rosters. But don't get too excited about the names in the expansion pool. The best players will play overseas this season and the others are mostly end-of-the-benchers ... or players with a troubled past. Only one player selected in last year's expansion draft was on a D-League roster on Opening Night in mid-November.

Here's how it works, per Upside Motor which tracks the D-League...

Each team will select 12 players’ returning rights from the 19 teams who were in the league last season.
