The NBA Development League's primary objective is to develop players to get to the next level, but many believed that there was plenty of NBA-ready talent already in the D-League as soon as the official minor league of the NBA's season opened in mid-November. Lo and behold, fast forward to 2011 and the D-League's on a record-breaking pace as far as NBA call-ups are concerned. Unlike the record-breaking 40 call-ups last season, however, the league's now on the other end of the record-breaking spectrum as not one non-NBA assigned player has made the trek from the D-League to the NBA this year.
Today being Jan. 3, this marks the furthest into a season it's ever been for a D-League call-up to happen, going back to the 2001-02 season and the first-ever D-League call-up as Chris Andersen went from the Fayetteville Patriots to the Denver Nuggets on Nov. 20.
