The Austin Toros’ 2011-12 season produced the first championship in franchise history and capped the organization’s steady rise into one of the NBA D-League’s model teams. Austin finished 33-17 under Brad Jones, posting one of the league’s most efficient offenses before putting together a memorable playoff run that ended with a Finals victory over the Los Angeles D-Fenders. Justin Dentmon was the driving force behind the title campaign, earning D-League MVP honors while leading the team in scoring and helping establish Austin as a nightly offensive threat. The roster also benefited from major contributions from Eric Dawson, Da’Sean Butler, Terrance Woodbury, and several NBA-assigned players, including Cory Joseph, Lance Thomas, Julian Wright, and rookie Tristan Thompson. The championship validated years of organizational progress and remains one of the defining seasons in Toros history.

| Justin Dentmon | Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) | 37.3 | High | 22.9 | 3.7 | 5.5 | 1.7 | 89.23 | Lead scoring guard who also orchestrated Austin’s offense; contemporary coverage noted that he led the Toros in scoring 24 times and assists 26 times, giving the team a clear downhill creator and late-clock option. (OurSports Central) | NBA D-League MVP (2012); NBA D-League All-Star (2012); NBA D-League First Team (2012); NBA D-League Player of the Month (January 2012); NBA D-League Performer of the Week (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Eric Dawson | Interior Offensive Hub (1.1) | 29.0 | High | 17.2 | 10.6 | 2.3 | 2.8 | 86.86 | Interior focal point whose value came from combining post scoring with rebounding and defensive activity. San Antonio reporting emphasized that his late-season arrival had enough impact to earn the league’s Impact Player award, while later coverage described him as a workhorse capable of producing a double-double regularly. (San Antonio Express-News) | NBA D-League Impact Player of the Year (2012); NBA D-League Second Team (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Lester Hudson | Instant-Offense Lead Guard (1.05) | 29.0 | High | 17.6 | 6.0 | 4.2 | 3.6 | 79.13 | A veteran scoring guard used to generate offense quickly, Hudson’s short Austin stint gave the lineup another experienced creator who could score without needing a long setup. His 2011-12 season also included NBA call-up opportunities, reinforcing his reputation as a ready-made offensive reserve. (Archives of the University of Notre Dame) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Leo Lyons | Versatile Frontcourt Scorer (1.05) | 28.5 | High | 16.2 | 8.9 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 70.56 | Lyons functioned as a mobile scoring forward rather than a stationary big, with Austin coverage highlighting his ability to attack the rim and calling him a D-League All-Star during the season. His role gave the Toros another frontcourt player capable of creating offense away from the paint. (The Austin Chronicle) | NBA D-League All-Star (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Cory Joseph | Two-Way Lead Guard (1.05) | 32.9 | High | 13.8 | 5.1 | 5.1 | 1.9 | 65.27 | Joseph’s assignments to Austin turned him into a primary organizer, with his best stretch featuring 19 points, 9.3 assists and nine rebounds per game over a three-game week. The triple-double against Maine showed how readily he could shift from table-setter to full offensive initiator. (San Antonio Express-News) | NBA D-League Performer of the Week (2012) |
| Julian Wright | Slashing Frontcourt Creator (1.05) | 28.1 | High | 15.1 | 8.0 | 1.9 | 1.9 | 62.14 | Wright rediscovered the attacking style that had made him a first-round pick, operating as a mobile forward who could finish inside and use his size in transition. Kansas coverage noted that he became Austin’s leading scorer during the playoffs and shot 60.5 percent during that run. (KU Sports) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Lance Thomas | Physical Interior Forward (1.05) | 32.3 | High | 15.1 | 7.7 | 1.6 | 1.1 | 58.91 | Thomas brought a physical, low-maintenance frontcourt game to Austin, combining interior finishing with rebounding and defensive work. He was also trusted enough to earn an NBA call-up and a place in the 2012 D-League All-Star Game. (Duke University) | NBA D-League All-Star (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Da’Sean Butler | Two-Way Wing Scorer (1.05) | 29.7 | Medium | 11.1 | 4.6 | 2.0 | 1.2 | 43.66 | Butler supplied Austin with a two-way wing presence, moving between scoring, secondary creation and perimeter defense. His season came as he worked back into professional basketball after the major knee injury that ended his West Virginia career, making his ability to stay on the floor particularly significant. (ShamSports) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Malcolm Thomas | Defensive Rim Runner (1.05) | 28.0 | Medium | 9.3 | 6.8 | 1.3 | 3.0 | 42.84 | Thomas’ role was built around activity rather than perimeter creation: screening, running the floor, attacking the offensive glass and protecting the rim. His four-game Austin stint was enough to earn a first-team D-League selection after he became one of the league’s more impactful defensive forwards. (RealGM Basketball) | NBA D-League First Team (2012) |
| Carldell Johnson | Table-Setting Floor General (1.05) | 29.5 | High | 8.2 | 3.0 | 5.7 | 1.2 | 41.81 | Johnson’s value came from controlling possessions and keeping the offense organized rather than hunting shots. His 2011-12 run led to an NBA call-up with New Orleans, consistent with the steady point-guard role he occupied for Austin. (The NBA G League) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Ronald Murray | Veteran Shot-Making Guard (1.0) | 23.3 | Medium | 12.3 | 2.7 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 36.00 | Murray arrived as an experienced NBA guard and immediately supplied perimeter shot creation in a tiny sample. Contemporary reporting described him as an eight-year NBA veteran whose Austin stint produced efficient scoring before he returned to the NBA ecosystem. (NBA.com) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Julian Sensley | Stretch Forward Creator (1.0) | 25.0 | Medium | 9.7 | 4.9 | 2.0 | 1.3 | 35.80 | Sensley was a versatile forward who could stretch the floor while still handling some creation duties. His 2011-12 season was unusually nomadic, moving from Europe to Rio Grande Valley and then Austin before continuing overseas, so his Austin role was more of a flexible offensive piece than a fixed starter. (Diario Libre) | |
| Terrance Woodbury | Rotation Wing Scorer (1.0) | 24.6 | Medium | 10.9 | 3.4 | 0.9 | 0.7 | 34.98 | Woodbury operated as a scoring wing who could attack gaps and space the floor without dominating the ball. A December game showed him carrying a sizeable offensive workload while also contributing on the glass, illustrating the secondary scoring role he filled around Austin’s higher-usage guards. (NBA.com) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Myles McKay | Scoring Combo Guard (1.0) | 26.2 | Medium | 9.8 | 3.5 | 2.2 | 1.2 | 33.40 | McKay served as a secondary perimeter creator, combining enough ball-handling to make plays with a willingness to take scoring opportunities. Contemporary coverage was limited, but his Austin stint placed him in a substantial rotation role rather than as a deep reserve. (Stats Crew) | |
| Luke Zeller | Stretch Center (1.0) | 25.0 | Medium | 9.1 | 5.3 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 33.40 | Zeller gave Austin a useful combination of size and perimeter shooting, allowing the Toros to pull opposing bigs away from the paint. He also moved between Austin and San Antonio during the season, evidence that his spacing-oriented skill set translated to an NBA-caliber environment. (THE BJ-LEAGUE INSIDER) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Stefan Welsh | Bench Playmaking Wing (1.0) | 17.3 | Medium | 8.3 | 2.4 | 2.3 | 0.7 | 27.40 | Welsh was used as a reserve capable of adding ball movement and occasional scoring bursts rather than simply standing as a spot-up shooter. His early-season workload included meaningful minutes and several playmaking possessions, suggesting Austin viewed him as a functional rotation connector. (NBA.com) | |
| Solomon Bozeman | Backup Lead Guard (1.0) | 20.6 | Medium | 8.0 | 1.9 | 3.0 | 0.9 | 27.60 | Bozeman brought a point-guard skill set shaped by his Sun Belt Player of the Year season, but his Austin stay was brief before he moved to Europe. An Estonian report noted that his shooting profile and backcourt consistency were key reasons Kalev/Cramo pursued him after the Toros stint. (ERR) | |
| Dan Vandervieren | Interior Screening Big (1.0) | 20.6 | Low | 5.1 | 6.2 | 1.2 | 0.9 | 26.80 | Vandervieren’s role centered on interior positioning, screening and rebounding rather than self-created offense. His move from the D-League to BK Valmiera in February 2012 reflected a profile built around size and functional frontcourt play. (Sportacentrs.com) | |
| Josh Davis | Veteran Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 16.7 | Low | 7.1 | 4.3 | 0.9 | 0.3 | 25.20 | Davis supplied veteran frontcourt depth and rebounding experience after a long professional career. His 2011-12 season included an NBA stint with Memphis before he moved into the Austin rotation, so his value was largely situational and matchup-based. (NBA.com) | |
| Tristan Thompson | Energy Guard (1.0) | 21.9 | Low | 8.8 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 0.4 | 23.80 | Thompson played as a perimeter reserve whose main contribution was keeping the second unit active rather than serving as a primary creator. Game coverage shows him taking on a complementary role alongside Austin’s higher-usage guards and forwards. (NBA.com) | |
| Omar Reed | Transition Wing Finisher (1.0) | 13.5 | Low | 6.5 | 3.5 | 0.7 | 0.7 | 22.80 | Reed was a low-minute wing whose athleticism and rebounding gave the bench some energy. Later basketball reporting described him as a versatile player and one of the better rebounders in Japan, traits that fit the active role he occupied in Austin. (Japan Times) | |
| Brad Wanamaker | Secondary Ball Handler (1.0) | 19.4 | Low | 5.5 | 2.1 | 2.2 | 0.7 | 21.00 | Wanamaker arrived late after moving through Italy and an NBA training-camp opportunity, giving Austin a steady secondary handler rather than another volume scorer. His ability to organize possessions helped him remain useful despite a modest scoring role. (Stats Crew) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Ronald Allen | Reserve Interior Big (1.0) | 12.5 | Low | 5.5 | 4.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 20.00 | Allen’s profile was built around interior size and rebounding in short stretches. His 2011-12 path through the Texas Legends and Austin reflected a depth-big role, with occasional scoring and shot-blocking activity when called upon. (RealGM Basketball) | |
| Travis George | Rim-Protecting Reserve (1.0) | 15.0 | Low | 4.0 | 1.5 | 0.0 | 3.5 | 18.00 | George’s small sample points to a defense-first reserve role, with his value concentrated around protecting the interior rather than initiating offense. Contemporary reporting also shows him moving into the professional game through the D-League before a stint in the ASEAN Basketball League. (GMA Network) | |
| Obi Muonelo | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 13.0 | Low | 5.7 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 17.40 | Muonelo was a compact wing used in short stretches, bringing enough shooting and ball skill to complement Austin’s primary creators. His professional path was interrupted by several roster moves, limiting his opportunity to establish a larger role. (ShamSports) | |
| Josh Simmons | Energy Reserve Guard (1.0) | 12.4 | Low | 3.8 | 1.4 | 0.6 | 0.4 | 12.40 | Simmons filled a depth-guard role, providing defensive pressure and connective play without a large offensive workload. His limited minutes made him more of a situational rotation piece than a featured scorer. Contemporary roster reporting confirms he was part of Austin’s 2011-12 player pool. (RealGM Basketball) | |
| Luke Bonner | Deep Rotation Center (1.0) | 7.5 | Low | 1.9 | 2.2 | 0.2 | 0.5 | 9.60 | Bonner’s minutes were primarily situational, with his size used for interior depth and occasional spacing. A January Austin game showed him contributing in a short reserve stint rather than being asked to carry a regular offensive role. (NBA.com) | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Keith Clark | Emergency Frontcourt Piece (1.0) | 3.0 | Low | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 6.00 | Clark was essentially an emergency depth option, appearing only briefly for Austin. His role was therefore centered on providing another body in the frontcourt rather than carrying a defined offensive responsibility. (Scoutbasketball) | |
| D’Andre Bell | Defensive Specialist Reserve (1.0) | 4.0 | Low | 0.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 6.00 | Bell’s professional reputation was built around perimeter defense, with scouting coverage describing him as a defensive specialist whose offense was secondary. His lone Austin appearance fit that limited, defense-oriented reserve profile. (ShamSports) | |

| Julian Wright | Slashing Frontcourt Creator (1.1) | 31.6 | High (1.2) | 19.8 | 7.8 | 1.1 | 2.9 | 83.42 | Slashing forward who became Austin’s main interior mismatch during the postseason, attacking smaller defenders and finishing through contact.

Kansas.com | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Justin Dentmon | Lead Shot Creator (1.1) | 33.1 | High (1.2) | 18.6 | 2.7 | 4.4 | 1.4 | 71.54 | Lead guard whose scoring gravity opened the floor for Austin’s other creators, with pull-up shooting and pick-and-roll playmaking making him difficult to scheme against. NBC Sports highlighted his rapid development and noted a 23-point, nine-assist performance at the D-League Showcase while he was sharing the backcourt with Cory Joseph. NBC Sports | NBA D-League MVP (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Eric Dawson | Interior Offensive Anchor (1.05) | 29.0 | High (1.2) | 13.8 | 8.9 | 1.0 | 2.6 | 66.28 | Interior anchor who gave Austin a dependable post target while protecting the paint on the other end. San Antonio Express-News coverage of the Toros’ championship push described Dawson as a major part of Austin’s frontcourt strength, while his defensive activity and rebounding made him more than a conventional low-post scorer. San Antonio Express-News | NBA D-League Impact Player of the Year (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Cory Joseph | Playmaking Two-Way Guard (1.05) | 34.3 | High (1.2) | 11.7 | 5.4 | 4.9 | 1.6 | 59.47 | Playmaking guard who took on a much larger offensive responsibility in the postseason, balancing table-setting with aggressive rebounding and point-of-attack defense. Express-News reported his 19-point, 9.3-assist, nine-rebound week and highlighted the 15-point, 17-rebound, 12-assist triple-double that showed how completely he could control a game from the backcourt. Express-News | NBA D-League Performer of the Week (2012); NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Ronald Murray | Veteran Perimeter Creator (1.05) | 33.9 | High (1.2) | 15.3 | 3.4 | 3.3 | 1.3 | 58.72 | Veteran scoring guard who handled a sizable share of Austin’s half-court creation after joining the playoff rotation. His experience as an eight-year NBA veteran gave the Toros another player comfortable taking difficult perimeter shots and initiating offense when possessions stalled. Memphis Grizzlies | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Carldell Johnson | Floor-General Connector (1.05) | 27.0 | Medium (1.1) | 8.9 | 2.4 | 4.3 | 1.6 | 39.73 | Floor-general whose postseason value came from keeping the offense organized and applying ball pressure rather than chasing scoring volume. His 16-point, six-assist performance against Canton showed the scoring was available when defenses ignored him, but his primary function remained creating advantages for Austin’s bigger scorers. Basketball News Source | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Terrance Woodbury | Secondary Wing Scorer (1.05) | 21.7 | Medium (1.1) | 10.3 | 4.3 | 0.9 | 0.7 | 37.42 | Secondary wing scorer who could punish defenses when Austin’s primary guards drew attention, while still providing useful size on the glass. His 18-point, 8-for-10 performance against Canton illustrated the efficient complementary scoring role he could provide without dominating possessions. Georgia Bulldogs | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Brad Wanamaker | Secondary Ball-Handling Wing (1.0) | 21.7 | Medium (1.1) | 7.4 | 2.9 | 2.1 | 1.5 | 30.58 | Secondary handler who helped Austin connect its scoring guards with the frontcourt rather than functioning as a pure spot-up reserve. His late-season arrival from European basketball added professional experience to a championship rotation, and he was subsequently recognized as a player with NBA-caliber interest after the title run. SLAM | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Luke Zeller | Spacing Center (1.0) | 22.8 | Medium (1.1) | 5.9 | 4.3 | 0.3 | 1.5 | 26.40 | Spacing-oriented center who stretched opposing bigs away from the paint while still supplying size and rebounding. Zeller’s championship-season role also earned him a summer-league opportunity with San Antonio, where his Austin experience was explicitly part of his professional evaluation. AZCentral | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| Jamarr Sanders | Defensive Rotation Wing (1.0) | 8.7 | Low (1.0) | 1.8 | 1.3 | 0.5 | 0.8 | 8.80 | Defensive wing used in short, situational stretches, with his postseason minutes concentrated around perimeter coverage and lineup balance. In Austin’s late-season rotation he could also space the floor, but the playoff usage indicates that his primary value was as a matchup-dependent reserve. OurSports Central | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
| D’Andre Bell | Defensive Specialist Reserve (1.0) | 2.3 | Low (1.0) | 0.5 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 2.20 | Defensive specialist who received almost entirely situational postseason minutes, with Austin using him as emergency perimeter depth rather than an offensive option. Contemporary coverage was limited, but his background as a defensive-minded wing made that narrow playoff role consistent with his professional profile. Georgia Tech | NBA D-League Champion (2012) |
