With the 9th pick in the 2013 NDL Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select..

Alex Len, from the University of Maryland

GM Royce Li: "Len was an intriguing prospect for us. We weren't expecting him to drop to us, but now that he has we felt the upside here was too much to pass up. We may shop Len in search for a more established big man that fits our plans better, but if we don't find a suitable match we are more than willing to let him hone his skills next to Chandler on both ends of the floor as the big man of our future."

With the 10th pick in the 2013 NDL Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats select..

CJ McCollum, from Lehigh University

GM Royce Li: "We loved the idea of pairing CJ with Lillard in our backcourt to go along with Kemba and CJ will only add to our guard depth. CJ is the best shooter of the draft and was very high on our board. We expected to snag him with one of our picks and we did just that."

With the 11th pick in the 2013 NDL draft, the Toronto Raptors select:

SF | Shabazz Muhammad | UCLA

The Toronto Raptors agree to contract terms as follows:

SF Shabazz Muhammad (MIN) (13/14:$1.5M,14/15:$1.65M,15/16:$1.9M-TO,16/17:$2.18M-TO,17/18:$2.73M-QO)

"With our last lottery pick in this draft, we felt we got a great player with loads of future potential. We need to teach Shabazz to be a good teammate and to work on the defensive end; but he has the makings of a star! Just a year ago he was projected within the top 3 of this draft and we hope he gets back to that once arriving in Toronto. Quality SF's are hard to come by in this league so we are more than happy to get one at pick 11!"

With the 12th pick in the 2013 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks proudly select:

Steven Adams, from the University of Pittsburgh

Milwaukee couldn't be more thrilled to add Steven Adams to our roster. The big 7 footer should help out low attendence with his 18 siiblings and provide a future Center for the team. The first New Zealander to ever be selected in the first round will be one of our favorite tokens for years to come.

"We were ripping out our hair on who to take at #13 knowing all prospects would be off the board. We went back and forth and back and forth for days leading up to draft. Then all of the sudden the microphone announced a name that wasn't Pope's...I was sure I was dreaming but sure enough he was there for us at 13 so we took him without hesitation. He should fit in perfectly with the team from the get-go"
