    For some information on how the grades were computed - Did Arse contribute to the D-League Digest article above?

    TrueHoop Network blogger Matt Hubert of DLeagueDigest.com has compiled a great look at all the 30 NBA teams and their usage of the D-league.

    Matt used a grading system that I’ll let him explain here:

    I wanted this to be a comprehensive effort, so rather than just offering my take on the teams, I reached out to the excellent bloggers of the TrueHoop Network, asking each team blogger to grade their team’s usage of the D-League (25 of them complied by giving a grade).
    I also got grades of all 30 teams from Matt Moore, who covers the D-League for AOL Fanhouse, and a combined grade from Scott Schroeder and Jon L. of Ridiculous Upside.

    Bloggers were asked to consider quantity and quality of each team’s assignments and call-ups, ownership and communication with the D-League affiliate, and any other factors that contribute to effective usage of the D-League. For each team, I took the THN blogger’s grade, Matt Moore’s grade, RU’s grade, and my grade, and found the average to calculate a final GPA. For the purposes of these posts, the grading scale breaks down as follows:

    A: 4.0
    A-: 3.67
    B+: 3.33
    B: 3
    B-: 2.67
    C+: 2.33
    C: 2
    C-: 1.67
    D+: 1.33
    D: 1
    D-: 0.5
    F: 0
