NPBL

The National Professional Basketball League (N.P.B.L.) held it’s first season last year operating in six small markets in the northeast (New Paltz, NY, Danbury, CT, Brewster, NY, Delaware, Virginia and Maryland). From looking at the league rosters and from what’s being said about the new NPBL, it’s entry level pro basketball with a lot of good small college players. They league isn’t competing with the CBA or D-League, but it is offering players from smaller schools a chance to break into pro ball.
