The Idaho Stampede selected former UC Davis standout Vince Oliver in the eighth and final round of Thursday's NBA Development League draft.
Oliver finished his four-year UCD career last season as the school's third-leading scorer all-time. He led the Aggies with 15.4 points per game in 2008-09 and became the first UCD player to be named first-team All-Big West Conference.
Final NBA Development League rosters will set at 10 by Nov. 25, and the league will begin its ninth season on Nov. 27. The Stampede is located in Boise.
