The Los Angeles D-Fenders’ 2011-12 season unfolded during a lockout-shortened NBA year that created unusual roster movement throughout professional basketball. As one of the league’s most offensively oriented teams, the D-Fenders again pushed the pace and relied on a deep rotation rather than a single dominant star. Guard Elijah Millsap emerged as one of the team’s most important players, earning league MVP honors after a season in which he consistently influenced games on both ends of the floor. Los Angeles also received significant contributions from Gerald Brown, Courtney Fortson, and Malcolm Thomas, the latter further establishing himself as an NBA prospect. The D-Fenders finished 38-12, matching the best record in franchise history and returning to the playoffs, where they advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Although the championship remained out of reach, the season reinforced Los Angeles’ status as one of the D-League’s premier organizations and a frequent source of NBA-ready talent.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Goudelock | Lead Shot Creator (1.1) | 47.0 | High (1.2) | 24.0 | 4.0 | 7.0 | 2.0 | 97.68 | One-game sample, but Goudelock immediately functioned as a scoring point guard, mixing perimeter shot creation with seven assists and two steals. His 24 points came on 24 attempts, while the D-Fenders also trusted him to initiate the offense throughout the extended outing. Coachella Valley Lakers | |
| Elijah Millsap | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 33.0 | High (1.2) | 19.4 | 6.3 | 3.2 | 2.1 | 81.84 | Millsap was a physical two-way wing who could attack mismatches, rebound from the perimeter and pressure the ball. After joining Los Angeles in a trade, he quickly became its offensive focal point and earned a Lakers opportunity, reflecting how much responsibility he carried in the D-Fenders’ lineup. Los Angeles Lakers | |
| Courtney Fortson | Pick-and-Roll Engine (1.1) | 34.3 | High (1.2) | 17.0 | 4.3 | 5.9 | 2.2 | 77.62 | Fortson played with a compact, attacking style that put constant pressure on the defense, particularly as a ball-dominant lead guard. His D-Fenders role was substantial enough to earn an NBA call-up, and Los Angeles relied on his ability to manufacture offense while keeping the tempo high. NBC Sports | All-NBA Development League Second Team (2012); All-Defensive Second Team (2012) |
| Brandon Costner | Stretch Four Scoring Hub (1.1) | 32.4 | High (1.2) | 20.3 | 5.1 | 2.1 | 1.0 | 75.24 | Costner operated as a modernizing frontcourt scorer, comfortable stepping outside rather than playing exclusively with his back to the basket. His expanding three-point role was already evident in his professional development, giving Los Angeles a big who could create spacing while still attacking inside. | |
| Jamario Moon | Veteran Two-Way Forward (1.05) | 37.7 | Medium (1.1) | 17.7 | 7.8 | 3.2 | 3.1 | 73.46 | Moon brought an experienced wing presence to a young D-Fenders group, combining floor spacing with unusually active rebounding and defensive playmaking. His March surge earned D-League Player of the Month recognition, and the 6-foot-8 veteran’s versatility helped drive a late-season call-up to Charlotte. OurSports Central | NBA D-League Player of the Month (March 2012) |
| Gerald Green | Transition Scoring Wing (1.1) | 30.6 | High (1.2) | 19.1 | 4.6 | 1.6 | 1.4 | 70.49 | Green was the D-Fenders’ explosive transition threat, using athleticism, straight-line drives and perimeter shooting to create offense without needing elaborate setups. His production translated into an NBA return with New Jersey, while his D-League All-Star MVP performance captured the level of scoring punch he supplied. NBA Communications | NBA D-League All-Star Game MVP (2012) |
| Darius Morris | Developmental Lead Guard (1.05) | 28.0 | High (1.2) | 21.0 | 1.0 | 4.0 | 1.0 | 68.04 | Morris’ lone D-Fenders appearance was essentially an extended audition: he immediately handled lead-guard duties and attacked the rim aggressively on his way to 21 points. The tiny sample makes sustained conclusions inappropriate, but the assignment clearly gave the rookie a chance to operate with far more offensive freedom. Los Angeles Times | |
| Devin Ebanks | Defensive Wing Stopper (1.05) | 32.0 | Medium (1.1) | 18.3 | 6.0 | 1.3 | 2.0 | 63.76 | Ebanks’ three-game assignment showcased the defensive-minded wing profile that had earned him NBA minutes, but with greater offensive latitude than he normally received in Los Angeles. The small sample included strong rebounding and disruptive perimeter defense, making the assignment more developmental than purely custodial. Interperformances | |
| Malcolm Thomas | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) | 32.2 | Medium (1.1) | 13.7 | 9.3 | 1.4 | 2.9 | 63.06 | Thomas was the D-Fenders’ interior defensive eraser, combining length, rebounding and weak-side shot blocking with efficient finishing around the basket. His performance was strong enough to produce both an NBA opportunity and major D-League recognition, and his defensive instincts were the defining feature of the assignment. San Antonio Spurs | All-NBA Development League First Team (2012); All-Defensive First Team (2012); All-Rookie First Team (2012) |
| Derrick Caracter | Interior Scoring Specialist (1.05) | 23.5 | Medium (1.1) | 15.5 | 7.5 | 1.3 | 1.5 | 59.60 | Caracter’s brief stint centered on efficient interior scoring and physical rebounding rather than perimeter creation. With only four appearances, the sample is too small for broad conclusions, but his high field-goal efficiency and interior defensive activity show why he could immediately occupy a useful frontcourt role. G League | |
| Jamaal Tinsley | Franchise Floor General (1.05) | 34.0 | High (1.2) | 9.9 | 3.1 | 7.6 | 2.5 | 53.36 | Tinsley functioned as an experienced table-setter rather than a volume scorer, controlling possessions and creating advantages for teammates. The D-Fenders made him their first overall pick in the 2011 D-League Draft, and his immediate NBA signing by Utah underscored the value of his veteran command. Utah Jazz | |
| Christian Eyenga | Athletic Slashing Wing (1.05) | 32.8 | Medium (1.1) | 12.2 | 5.0 | 2.0 | 1.3 | 47.36 | Eyenga gave Los Angeles an athletic wing capable of attacking the basket and contributing as a weak-side rebounder and shot blocker. His six-game regular-season sample followed a midseason trade to the Lakers, so the assignment was largely about rediscovering confidence and giving him room to play through his physical tools. Sports Forecaster | |
| Mardy Collins | Secondary Ball-Handling Creator (1.05) | 28.3 | Medium (1.1) | 10.0 | 3.6 | 4.6 | 1.4 | 45.28 | Collins supplied connective playmaking from the backcourt, helping move the offense without needing to dominate every possession. His size for a guard and willingness to facilitate made him useful alongside higher-volume scorers, while the 28-game sample suggests a genuine rotation role rather than a cameo. G League | |
| Orien Greene | Defensive Lead Guard (1.05) | 29.9 | Medium (1.1) | 9.2 | 3.4 | 4.6 | 2.1 | 44.58 | Greene’s value came from doing several jobs at once: organizing the offense, pressuring opposing guards and providing occasional perimeter scoring. His defensive activity was particularly useful in a D-Fenders lineup that could lean on him for nearly 30 minutes without requiring him to become the primary scorer. NBA.com Game Archive | |
| Zach Andrews | Starting Interior Presence (1.05) | 25.5 | Medium (1.0) | 9.3 | 7.3 | 1.0 | 1.9 | 40.95 | Andrews was a classic interior stabilizer, screening, rebounding and finishing efficiently rather than stretching the floor. He began the season as a D-Fenders local-tryout success story and earned a Lakers contract, a strong indication that his physical presence and dependable frontcourt play translated quickly. Los Angeles Lakers | |
| Andre Ingram | Spot-Up Shooting Specialist (1.0) | 28.2 | Low (1.0) | 12.2 | 3.5 | 2.5 | 0.5 | 37.40 | Ingram’s role was built around perimeter spacing and quick offensive decisions rather than self-created offense. The six-game sample shows a specialist who could stretch the defense with his shooting while providing enough secondary passing to keep possessions moving. SLAM | |
| Gerard Anderson | Two-Way Rotation Forward (1.05) | 28.8 | Low (1.0) | 8.3 | 4.5 | 1.7 | 1.2 | 32.97 | Anderson’s limited run points to a complementary forward role: efficient finishing, rebounding and enough defensive activity to stay useful without demanding touches. With only six appearances, the safest reading is a small-sample rotation contribution rather than a sustained offensive role. Eurobasket | |
| Brian Hamilton | Energy Forward (1.05) | 25.1 | Low (1.0) | 8.5 | 4.0 | 1.0 | 1.7 | 31.92 | Hamilton worked as an energetic frontcourt piece who could rebound, defend and make plays without needing a designed offensive package. His earlier path from an open D-League tryout to sustained league employment fits the useful, physical role he filled in this rotation. Detroit Pistons | |
| Otis George | Rebounding Interior Reserve (1.0) | 20.1 | Medium (1.0) | 7.6 | 5.4 | 0.9 | 1.2 | 30.20 | George’s contribution was rooted in interior physicality, especially offensive rebounding and finishing around the basket. His 49-game availability gave Los Angeles a dependable depth option even though his offensive responsibilities remained fairly narrow. | |
| Jordan Brady | Floor-Spacer Forward (1.0) | 21.7 | Low (1.0) | 7.2 | 3.4 | 1.5 | 1.3 | 26.80 | Brady filled a complementary forward slot, mixing occasional perimeter shooting with enough rebounding and defensive activity to remain functional in reserve minutes. The role was more about lineup balance than primary creation. | |
| Terrence Roberts | Rim-Running Big (1.0) | 13.2 | Low (1.0) | 6.9 | 3.9 | 0.7 | 1.1 | 25.20 | Roberts supplied short-burst interior energy, attacking the glass and protecting the paint while rarely being asked to initiate offense. His modest minutes point to a specialist frontcourt role rather than a central rotation assignment. | |
| Eniel Polynice | Slashing Reserve Wing (1.0) | 14.8 | Low (1.0) | 5.9 | 2.4 | 1.9 | 0.7 | 21.80 | Polynice operated as a low-volume wing who could cut, attack openings and make the extra pass. With 17 appearances and under 15 minutes per game, his contribution was primarily situational rather than built around sustained usage. | |
| Kareem Rush | Veteran Perimeter Scorer (1.0) | 18.9 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 1.6 | 1.3 | 1.6 | 21.00 | Rush brought veteran shooting experience to a short D-Fenders stint, functioning mainly as a perimeter scoring outlet rather than a primary creator. His arrival came after a long NBA career, so the value here was largely situational scoring and spacing. Detroit Pistons | |
| Al Nolen | Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 17.0 | Low (1.0) | 3.0 | 1.0 | 3.5 | 0.5 | 16.00 | Nolen’s brief appearances centered on ball security and secondary playmaking rather than scoring. In two games, his assist production was the clearest indication of the role he was asked to fill when available. | |
| Gary Flowers | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 8.7 | Low (1.0) | 3.6 | 1.6 | 0.4 | 1.1 | 13.40 | Flowers’ limited minutes were best suited to energy defense, rebounding and opportunistic scoring. The small role leaves little basis for a broader evaluation, but his defensive activity was more prominent than his offensive workload. | |
| James Wright | Passing Reserve Guard (1.0) | 15.3 | Low (1.0) | 2.7 | 0.7 | 2.3 | 0.7 | 12.80 | Wright served as a low-usage ball mover, contributing more through passing and connective possessions than through shot creation. Three appearances make this a distinctly small-sample assessment. | |
| Trent Strickland | Emergency Rotation Guard (1.0) | 13.7 | Low (1.0) | 3.7 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 0.3 | 10.00 | Strickland’s three-game sample suggests an emergency rotation role, with limited offensive involvement and occasional defensive activity. There is not enough contemporary material to support a broader role assessment. | |
| Rafer Alston | Veteran Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) | 7.8 | Low (1.0) | 1.5 | 0.8 | 1.5 | 0.3 | 8.20 | Alston’s appearance was a tiny late-career sample, but his function was unmistakably guard-oriented: handle the ball, organize possessions and provide veteran composure. He was not being used as a high-volume scorer. | |
| Anthony Coleman | Frontcourt Depth Piece (1.0) | 6.0 | Low (1.0) | 1.0 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 4.40 | Coleman provided short frontcourt minutes, with his most visible contribution coming defensively around the basket. Six appearances and six minutes per game make this a strictly limited role evaluation. | |
| Larry Cunningham | Hustle Guard Reserve (1.0) | 5.4 | Low (1.0) | 0.6 | 1.0 | 0.4 | 0.2 | 4.40 | Cunningham was used sparingly and appears to have been valued primarily for filling possessions, competing defensively and helping cover the back end of the rotation. The five-game sample is too small for stronger conclusions. | |
| Anthony Johnson | Deep-Bench Guard (1.0) | 1.7 | Low (1.0) | 0.7 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 2.00 | Johnson saw only 1.7 minutes per game across three appearances, making his role essentially deep-rotation coverage. There is insufficient season-specific evidence to infer a larger tactical responsibility. | |
| Jeremy Green | End-of-Rotation Shooter (1.0) | 4.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.40 | Green’s three-game stint was almost entirely an end-of-rotation assignment, with minimal offensive involvement. The available sample does not support a more expansive characterization. | |
| Franklin Session | Emergency Depth Guard (1.0) | 1.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | Session appeared for only two minutes total, so his documented role is best described as emergency depth rather than a sustained rotation assignment. | |
| Justin Williams | Deep Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 3.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | Williams’ one-game appearance was too brief to establish a meaningful offensive or defensive role beyond providing frontcourt depth. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elijah Millsap | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 39.0 | High (1.2) | 23.7 | 6.4 | 2.3 | 2.4 | 91.87 | Millsap was the D-Fenders’ main downhill wing threat, attacking mismatches while also taking difficult defensive assignments. His playoff workload expanded into a genuine centerpiece role, and he erupted for 33 points in the Finals opener as Los Angeles pushed Austin to the limit. San Diego Union-Tribune | NBA D-League All-Star (2012) |
| Jamario Moon | Veteran Two-Way Forward (1.05) | 39.0 | High (1.2) | 25.0 | 5.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 79.88 | Moon immediately looked like a veteran mismatch piece in his lone playoff appearance, spacing the floor while still creating off the dribble and defending multiple positions. He hit five threes in the opener and scored 25 before leaving for an NBA call-up with Charlotte. OurSports Central | NBA D-League Player of the Month (March 2012) |
| Malcolm Thomas | Defensive Anchor (1.05) | 34.7 | High (1.1) | 17.9 | 12.3 | 2.4 | 2.1 | 79.46 | Thomas became the postseason’s interior fulcrum, protecting the rim, cleaning the defensive glass and finishing efficiently without needing perimeter touches. His playoff production jumped from the regular season, and he was particularly imposing on the glass during Los Angeles’ run to the Finals. San Diego State University | All-NBA D-League First Team (2012); All-Defensive First Team (2012); All-Rookie First Team (2012); NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Mardy Collins | Secondary Offensive Creator (1.05) | 31.4 | High (1.1) | 17.4 | 3.9 | 4.7 | 1.7 | 67.03 | Collins served as the secondary creator who could turn possessions into his own offense when the primary actions stalled. That versatility became especially important late in the run: he scored 31 points in the deciding Finals game while also handing out six assists, keeping Los Angeles within striking distance. Austin American-Statesman | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Orien Greene | Two-Way Lead Guard (1.05) | 34.6 | Medium (1.1) | 13.9 | 5.4 | 5.6 | 3.8 | 61.68 | Greene was the connective guard of the playoff group, combining ball pressure with enough playmaking to keep the offense organized. His defensive activity stood out, while his six assists in the Finals clincher showed why Los Angeles could trust him with the ball even when his own shot was inconsistent. Austin American-Statesman | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Otis George | Starting Interior Presence (1.05) | 24.1 | Low (1.0) | 7.3 | 5.6 | 1.1 | 0.8 | 29.82 | George handled the dirty-work center minutes, occupying the paint, screening and competing for second chances rather than stretching the defense. His seven playoff starts show that Los Angeles valued his physical presence even as the offense flowed primarily through its guards and wings. | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Kareem Rush | Veteran Perimeter Scorer (1.0) | 22.2 | Low (1.0) | 6.3 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 19.80 | Rush was used as a veteran spacing option, giving the playoff rotation a shooter with NBA experience without asking him to carry creation duties. His role narrowed as the postseason progressed, making him more of a situational perimeter threat than a featured scorer. | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Gary Flowers | Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0) | 7.5 | Low (1.0) | 5.5 | 2.5 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 19.00 | Flowers provided short bursts of energy on both ends, with his two playoff appearances showing a willingness to rebound and defend while taking open perimeter opportunities. The tiny sample makes this more of a situational evaluation than evidence of a sustained postseason role. | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Zach Andrews | Rim-Running Reserve (1.05) | 14.3 | Low (1.0) | 2.9 | 3.6 | 0.4 | 2.0 | 18.48 | Andrews gave the D-Fenders a physical second interior option, particularly useful for screens, offensive rebounding and protecting the rim in short stretches. His postseason role was reduced, but he remained a trusted reserve after being selected to the D-League All-Star Game during the season. Bradley University | NBA D-League All-Star (2012); NBA D-League honorable mention (2012); NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Brandon Costner | Stretch Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 12.7 | Low (1.0) | 4.7 | 2.3 | 1.1 | 0.5 | 15.20 | Costner’s playoff function was primarily spacing and secondary frontcourt scoring. The rotation reduced his minutes considerably, leaving him to attack closeouts and provide occasional shooting rather than reproduce the larger offensive role he carried during the regular season. | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Andre Ingram | Perimeter Spacing Specialist (1.0) | 17.3 | Low (1.0) | 5.3 | 1.1 | 0.9 | 0.1 | 14.80 | Ingram’s postseason job was straightforward: stretch the defense and make quick decisions when the ball found him. His minutes were useful for spacing, but the D-Fenders relied much more heavily on Millsap, Collins and their interior creators for sustained offense. | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
| Christian Eyenga | Athletic Defensive Wing (1.0) | 10.4 | Low (1.0) | 2.8 | 1.2 | 0.4 | 0.6 | 9.20 | Eyenga remained an athletic change-of-pace wing, but his playoff minutes were tightly controlled after arriving from the Lakers. He appeared in five games during the Finals run, mainly supplying length and occasional rim pressure rather than carrying an offensive assignment. Coachella Valley Lakers | NBA D-League Finals appearance (2012) |
