The 2009 NBA Development League Draft was the ninth draft of the National Basketball Association Development League (NBADL). The draft was held on November 5, 2009, before the 2009–10 season. In this draft, all 16 of the league's teams took turns selecting eligible players. The D-League uses a "serpentine" format whereby the order of selections for each team alternates in each round. For example, the Albuquerque Thunderbirds won the number one overall selection, but in round two they picked last (16th selection, 32nd overall).
Although some of the players chosen in the 2009 NBA Development League Draft had played semi-professional and/or professional basketball after college graduation, only the United States colleges they attended are listed.
a: Amara Sy is a native of Mali and plays for their national team, but also holds dual citizenship with France. b: Latavious Williams became the first player ever to skip college basketball and play a year in the D-League before getting drafted in the NBA, which adhered to the rule that players must be at least one year removed from high school in order to be eligible for an NBA draft. c: Chad Toppert is American but is also eligible to play for the German national team because his grandfather is German. d: Brian Kortovich became a dual citizen of Croatia in May 2010.
