CBA ANNOUNCES DATE OF 2008 DRAFT
August 28, 2008 – The Continental Basketball Association today announced that the 2008 CBA Draft will be held on Tuesday, September 23. The CBA Draft is considered by many to be the unofficial start of the 2008-09 season as the member teams look to start putting a face to their franchise. After the outstanding success last year, the CBA will again webcast the CBA Draft through the efforts of Web Television Network.
The CBA Draft will take place on Tuesday, September 23 and be webcast live starting at 8:00 PM EST. Fans can log on to the CBA Website (www.cbahoopsonline.com) or Web Television Network (www.webtelevisionnetwork.com) to follow all of the Draft action. Every selection will be updated as it happens, and the final results will be posted when the draft has concluded.
The CBA Draft will consist of six rounds and is open to all players who have exhausted their college eligibility and were eligible for the NBA Draft this past June. CBA Deputy Commissioner Dennis Truax will serve as the moderator for the CBA Draft with CBA Director of Scouting Mark Argenziano and Director of Player Personnel Jeff Argenziano providing commentary on the Draft.
“We are very pleased to partner again with Web Television Network to webcast the 2008 CBA Draft,” said CBA Deputy Commissioner Dennis Truax. “WTN did such a great job last season that we wanted to continue our partnership with them to bring the fans one of our premier events.”
Web Television Network (webtelevisionnetwork.com) is a comprehensive broadband initiative designed to provide fans, sponsors, media and the public with quality live and archived steaming webcasts of games and other compelling video on-demand programming. WTN seeks to be the premier broadband destination for free, live video of Continental Basketball Association games and other video-on-demand features highlighting the League's teams and athletes.
A complete list breakdown of the draft order will be published in the coming weeks.
