He is NO longer the highest draft pick to be sent to the D-League haha.
Hasheem Thabeet now holds the title.

Despite some reports, that distinction was actually never POB's (he was the #9 pick in 2006).
Martell Webster, Portland's 6th overall pick in the 2005 draft was sent to the Development League in January, 2006, well before POB was drafted in June, 2006, and thus Webster became the highest pick to play in the NBDL-

And there have been other players drafted higher than POB to play in the NDBL, too, before Thabeet-
One was Joe Alexander, who was the #8 overall pick in 2008 by the Bucks (he's now with the Bulls), and spent some time with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.-
