The 2007 NBA Development League expansion draft was the second expansion draft of the National Basketball Association Development League (NBADL). The draft was held on September 5, 2007, so that the newly founded Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Utah Flash and Iowa Energy could acquire players for the upcoming 2007–08 season. Players from the final 2006–07 rosters of the Arkansas RimRockers and Fort Worth Flyers, as well as all other unprotected NBADL players, were available to have their rights selected in the 2007 expansion draft.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/dleague/expansion_draft_board_07.html|title=2007 D-League Expansion Draft Results|work=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc|date=September 19, 2006|accessdate=November 11, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121109204734/http://www.nba.com/dleague/expansion_draft_board_07.html|archive-date=November 9, 2012|url-status=dead}} A random drawing was held to determine the draft order and the Vipers won the first overall pick. The draft comprised 10 rounds where each team switched their selection order; for example, the Iowa Energy chose last in Round 1 (fourth overall) but were able to select first in Round 2 (fifth overall).

J. R. Pinnock, a guard, was the first overall expansion draft selection. He was one of three players to have also been chosen in an NBA draft (2006) along with James Lang (2003) and Denham Brown (2006).{{Cite web| title = 2006 NBA Draft| work = basketball-reference.com| publisher = Sports Reference LLC| date = 2010| url = https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2006.html| accessdate = November 11, 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101205055742/http://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2006.html| archivedate= 5 December 2010 | url-status= live}}{{Cite web| title = 2003 NBA Draft| work = basketball-reference.com| publisher = Sports Reference LLC| date = 2010| url = https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2003.html| accessdate = November 11, 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101205050749/http://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2003.html| archivedate= 5 December 2010 | url-status= live}} Through the 2009–10 NBA D-League season, eight total players from the 2007 expansion draft have been named an NBA D-League All-Star at least once, including Jeremy Richardson, Will Conroy, Curtis Stinson, Antonio Meeking, Clay Tucker, Desmon Farmer, Walker Russell, Jr. and Luke Schenscher.{{Cite web| title = 2007 D-League All-Star Rosters| work = NBA Media Ventures, LLC| publisher =Turner Sports Interactive, Inc.| date = February 17, 2007| url =http://www.nba.com/allstar2007/dleague_rosters.html| accessdate = November 11, 2010}}{{Cite web| title = 2008 D-League All-Star Game Team Rosters Announced| work = NBA.com| publisher = NBA Development League, LLC| date = February 5, 2008| url = http://www.nba.com/dleague/allstar2008/rosters_080205.html| accessdate = November 4, 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111021164445/http://www.nba.com/dleague/allstar2008/rosters_080205.html| archive-date = October 21, 2011| url-status = dead| df = mdy-all}}{{Cite web|title=2009 NBA D-League All-Star Game Participants Unveiled |work=NBA.com |publisher=NBA Development League, LLC |date=February 3, 2009 |url=http://www.nba.com/dleague/news/2009_allstar_rosters.html |accessdate=November 11, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628232753/http://www.nba.com/dleague/news/2009_allstar_rosters.html |archivedate=June 28, 2011 }}{{Cite web| title = 2010 NBA D-League All-Star Rosters Unveiled| work = NBA.com| publisher = NBA Development League, LLC| date = February 2, 2010| url = http://www.nba.com/dleague/news/2010_allstar_rosters.html| accessdate = November 11, 2010| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101118175556/http://www.nba.com/dleague/news/2010_allstar_rosters.html| archivedate = 18 November 2010| url-status = dead| df = dmy-all}} Oddly, none of the three NBA Draft picks have ever been named NBA D-League All-Stars.
