Khem Birch

The Eastern Conference Futures defeated the Western Conference Prospects 129-94 on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

He has played well enough this season to rank as high as number five on the NBA Development League Prospect Watch. As a result Skyforce center Khem Birch is rewarded with an All-Star selection.

It wasn’t exactly a waltz across Texas, but the Sioux Falls Skyforce finished 3-0 against teams from the Lone Star State with a 117-108 victory over the Austin Spurs in a Saturday night skirmish at the Sanford Pentagon.

Making up 11 points in less than 3 minutes is a lot to ask and the Skyforce were nearly up to the task.  Nonetheless the Los Angeles D-Fenders held off Sioux Falls 122-120 at the Toyota Sports Center Thursday night.

The Canton Charge led wire to wire in a 113-103 triumph over the Sioux Falls Skyforce  at the Canton Memorial Civic Center on Tuesday night.

Through the first five games of the season, the Sioux Falls Skyforce have yet to be bested on the road.  It’s only a two-game sample, but the most recent example consists of the 115-103 victory over the Delaware 87ers. Game one of the home schedule at the Bob Carpenter Center was not exactly what Delaware (3-2) had in mind...

Even though the Sanford Pentagon is in its second year of hosting the NBA Development League, a fair amount of drama has taken place over the previous 25 games.  Friday night’s Sioux Falls Skyforce 99-98 win over the Maine Red Claws ranks near the top for clutch performances on both sides.

In the end it was bittersweet for both teams as Sioux Falls and Fort Wayne played game one of the new NBA Development League season.  Victory came to the Skyforce in the form of a 77-70 rumble in front of 5,129 gathered at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night.
