		Barron is a former NBDL stud, Wright was poised to have a big year I thought until Miami became too deep for him to get any time, Simien is a 4 year college proven big man who probably wouldn't benefit at all from the NBDL, and Walsh is a sharpshooter with poor athletic abilities.
		Almost the entire Bobcats squad is eligible to be sent to the NBDL (aside from a few veterans)- but given that it's their second year in the league, I doubt anyone gets sent down.
