NBA Development League Most Valuable Player Award

NBA Development League Most Valuable Player Award

The National Basketball Association Development League Most Valuable Player (MVP) is an annual NBA Development League (NBADL) award given since the 200102 NBDL season. From 200102 through 200405, the league was known as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL), and since 200506 it has been called the NBA Development League in an effort to more closely associate with the National Basketball Association (NBA), the league to which it is a feeder system for player development.[1] The league's head coaches determine the award by voting and it is usually presented to the honoree during the NBADL's playoffs.[2]

Through the 201011 season, no player has been named the MVP more than once. Ansu Sesay was the inaugural winner while playing for the Greenville Groove.[3] He averaged 13.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists that season.[3] No international player has been named MVP of the D-League. By position, the guards have dominated the award with five winners, followed by forwards with four. Only one center has won (Courtney Sims in 200809).

Winners

Ansu Sesay won the league's first award in 2002.
Devin Brown won the award in 2003 while playing for the Fayetteville Patriots.
