With the NBA Finals upon us, it's a bit of a slow news week in the D-League, but I do have a link to pass along for your reading enjoyment.
The Middletown Journal writes about what the D-League meant for Erie BayHawk Ivan Harris:
It's worth reading the full article as it gives some insight into the mind of one of the BayHawks players as to what they're mindset is playing in the D-League.Last season, Harris played for Lappeenranta of the Korisliiga in Finland. After averaging 15 points and five rebounds per game, he decided he wanted more exposure from NBA scouts, taking his chances with the D-League even though he would be playing for less money.
Each player signs a contract with the league and is allocated to a team. The D-League pay scale is broken down into three different levels. A-level players make between $24,000 and $26,000, B-level players make between $18,000 and $20,000 and C-level players make between $12,500 and $14,000.
Harris admits the money isn’t great, but it’s all about experience and exposure.
