Ilyasova, profiled on Bucks.com in the first segment of “Bucks Back When…” and teammates Bobby Simmons and Damir Markota are the resident poster boys for the alliance between the National Basketball Association and the National Basketball Development League.

Since its inception in 2001, the NBDL has had 74 call-ups and 54 different players called up to the NBA, its parent league.

During that span, both current and former Milwaukee Bucks -- and other players and coaches with Milwaukee ties -- have been central characters in the success of the league, which expanded to 12 teams this season with the addtions of four franchises previously affiliated with the Continental Basketball Association.
