    ChumpDumper's posts are great to follow what Mahinmi and Washington do in D-League. You can find them with the search function.

    Draftexpress follow too what nba players do in D-League.

    Ian Mahinmi, San Antonio Spurs, Austin Toros
    14.3 ppg, 6.3 ppg, .5 apg

    Mahinmi still remains raw, but has shown good promise over the past week for the Austin Toros. Foul trouble remains a problem for the French rookie, though he has adjusted over the past two games and only picked up 4 fouls in each game. This adjustment may have hurt his aggressiveness when it comes to shot blocking, however, since he failed to send back one shot in either game. Offensively, Mahinmi relies on a right handed hook. To take his offensive game to the next level, he must focus on developing some sort of left hand rather than always turning to his left shoulder in the post. Mahinmi must focus on boxing out as well, instead of relying on his superior leaping ability to collect rebounds.

    Darius Washington, San Antonio Spurs, Austin Toros
    29.0 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 6.0 apg

    An un-drafted free agent who played overseas last season, Washington surprised a number of scouts with a monster showing in the pre-season with the Spurs. He has carried his strong play to the D-League, though there are a few weaknesses he will have to focus on in the coming weeks. Offensively, Washington shows good quickness in getting to the basket, and has a number of crafty moves that allow him to finish inside. Turnovers have been a problem for the rookie, and his focus is more on scoring than distributing at this point. Defensively, his lack of size may hurt him in the NBA, but it hasn’t been a hindrance in the D-League thus far. Washington will likely remain one of the better point guards in the D-League this season, and has a bright future as a back-up point guard.

    Just a note: these next two games against Tulsa and RGV should be great tests for Washington as he'll be matched against NBA players Ramon Sessions and Aaron Brooks as well as CJ Watson, who has been tearing up the league so far. You can follow along and/or listen at the D-League site.

    I'm off to the game.
