NBA D-League Player Rankings Week Four

Everyone is staying!

At this point last season, there had been 11 call ups to the NBA. So far this season, we are stuck on three. That will almost certainly change come Jan. 5 when NBA clubs can offer 10-day contracts to free agents, but for now it creates a logjam of talent in the D-League.

We have teamed up with Adam Johnson of D-League Digest this season to provide a comprehensive ranking for the top-10 players in the league each week. You can check out last week’s rankings here.

This week we have two newcomers and the biggest mover is Vince Hunter, who jumped three spots into the top five.
