Why did the Clippers make Yaroslav Korolev the 12th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft? It's a comedy of errors, and one of the great busts of draft history.
Yaroslav Korolev - yes, the former Los Angeles Clippers lottery pick - competed in the ACB Dunk Contest along with Fede Van Lacke and Tomas Satoransky. Satoransky took first, but Korolev received the loudest cheers of the night when it was time for his "prop dunk."
Yaroslav Korolev will be taking his talents to Spain for the 2010-2011 season because he's signed with CB Granada. The 6-foot-9 forward and former 12th overall pick of the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2005 NBA Draft averaged 10.4 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 43% from the field last season in the D-League, splitting time with the Albuquerque Thunderbirds and Reno Bighorns.
Nets set to take control of the Springfield Armor of the D-League, possibly in a "hybrid affiliation" similar to the Rockets relationship with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Three NBA teams own their D-League affiliates: the Lakers, Spurs and Thunder.
