First round, notes from G-League Draft: Lance Stephenson, LiAngelo Ball, more

The G-League Draft, which took place Saturday, is a little different than the NBA Draft. The biggest difference is teams take players they have a connection with. Also, the agents for players with name recognition and some clout tell other teams not to draft said player so he gets picked by the team he wants to play for. That generally works. While they can draft anyone available, teams tend to stick with guys they know from Summer League and training camp, especially early in the draft.

That said, there were some interesting picks.
