The NBA D-League has been constantly been growing since the league was founded in 2001. More NBA teams are seeing the value of having their own D-League affiliate team.

Those that have a one-to-one affiliate utilize the D-League by sending down their players to get more minutes and reps.

Teams such as the Erie BayHawks, the Orlando Magic affiliate, are in the process of relocating to Florida to be in proximity of their parent club. The Salt Lake City Stars, the Utah Jazz affiliate, and Northern Arizona Suns, the Phoenix Suns affiliate, already relocated for next season to be closer to their parent club.

In recent years, the Westchester Knicks and Raptors 905 were introduced to the league. Three new teams—the Greensboro Swarm, Long Island Nets, and Windy City Bulls—will be introduced to the NBADL in the 2016-17 season.

Malcolm Turner, President of the NBA Development League, believes that every team could have their own affiliate within five years.

One of those teams, the Westchester Knicks, has been on an interesting journey since 2014. It’s almost hard to believe the Knicks will be entering their third season in the NBA D-League.

This team has seen a lot during that two-year span. The Knicks have lost countless games. There were three players that received a call-up. Two players represented the team in the All-Star Game.

Playoffs? Yes, Westchester hosted a playoff game.

The Westchester Knicks have had their ups and downs during their two seasons in the NBA D-League. With the 2016-17 season on the horizon, Westchester’s third season, what are the Top 3 moments in the franchise history?
