Chris Andersen was the first ever NBADL Draft selection as the number one pick in 2001.[1]

The NBA Development League's first overall pick is the player who is selected first among all eligible draftees by a team during the annual National Basketball Association Development League (NBADL) Draft. For players to become eligible for the draft they must sign a general contract with the league.[2] They must also be at least 18 years old, not attending college during the season which the draft precedes, and have either graduated high school or, if the player did not finish high school, had what would have been his graduating class graduate.[3]

No first overall picks have ever won the NBADL Most Valuable Player Award, nor have any been named the NBADL Rookie of the Year.[4][5] Five players have been named to at least one NBA Development League All-Star Game: Andre Barrett,[6] Eddie Gill,[6] Chris Richard,[7] Carlos Powell (twice)[6][8] and Nick Fazekas.[6] The first All-Star Game did not occur until the 2006–07 season, however, and so the possibility for players such as Mikki Moore to earn an All-Star selection was not possible.[9] Moore was named the NBDL Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the All-NBDL First Team as a rookie in 2002–03.[10] Fazekas, the first overall selection in 2010, and Powell, the first overall selection in 2009, each had previous NBA Development League experience prior to those respective drafts. In 2007–08, Fazekas had played for the Tulsa 66ers while Powell had played for the Dakota Wizards, and both were selected as NBA Development League All-Stars that season,[6] making them back-to-back number one draft picks who had previously been NBADL All-Stars.[6][11]

Note that from the 2001 through 2004 drafts, it was known as the NBDL Draft. Since 2005, it has been known as the NBA Development League Draft in accordance with the league's slight name change.[12]
