NBA D-LEAGUE PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Player Development Orientation Introduces players to topics that will assist them in their transition into the D-League.

Team Awareness Meetings Team Awareness Meetings (TAM) promote the development of personal and professional skills deemed necessary for basketball and life success on topics such as: Nutrition, Money Management, Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Sexual Health/Sexual Harassment Career Planning, High Risk Situations, NBA Scout Feedback Panel and Motivation. Over 120 D-League and NBA Assigned players receive seminars on two topics per month during the season for a total of 16 hours of off the court professional development training. Continuing Education and Life Skills Programs Assist players in completing their college degrees and assist them in returning to school, including offering online business communication and life skills certificate learning programs from Michigan State University. For the 2006-07 season over 25 % of D-League players were involved in continuing education program initiatives.

Career Education Program Provide career counseling resources and skills development opportunities in areas such as career coaching sessions, career assessments, resume writing, interviewing skills and job search strategies. Summer Apprenticeship Program This program allows the player to earn a salary and valuable on the job experience with a local sponsor in the field of their choice during the off-season. The program gives D-League teams the opportunity to continue marketing their brand during the off-season by having a player conduct various community relations appearances.

Former NBA players who served as mentors for the 2007 season are AC Green, Sean Rooks, Lee Mayberry, John Coker and Elliot Perry to name a few. 6
