Rashad McCants Joins Texas Legends

Filed under: Mavericks, NBA D-League, Texas Legends

Rashad McCants, the 14th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, has reported to the NBA Development League's Texas Legends and should be in uniform Tuesday when the team hosts the San Antonio Spurs-owned Austin Toros for its home opener.

McCants, whose rights were acquired by the Legends due to a new D-League rule that allows NBA teams the ability to allocate three players cut during training camp to their D-League affiliate, missed the first three games of the Legends' schedule while weighing his other options that were rumored to include more lucrative overseas offers.

Typically playing outside of the U.S. ends in a case of "out of sight, out of mind," however, and McCants is currently committed to returning to the NBA, seeing the NBA Development League as the quickest way possible.

"I think that playing in the D-League is the quickest option to return to the NBA," McCants told FanHouse. "My decision to stay in the states and enter the D-League was solely based upon my family needs and working with the underprivileged youth and misunderstood kids."
