Mike Taylor, the first D-League player drafted by an NBA team, has returned to the developmental league.

Taylor has signed a contract to play in the D-League, according to a league source.

He played for the Idaho Stampede during the 2007-08 season and was then drafted with 55th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.

Taylor's best game in the NBA was a 35-point outburst against the Knicks on March 25, 2009, when he hit 14-of-20 from the field while also tallying eight rebounds, three assists and two steals.

He went to camp with the Grizzlies last season, but after failing to make the opening-day roster, he chose to play in Serbia with Crvena Zvezda.
