Texas Legends acquire P.J. Hairston

— -- Former North Carolina swingman P.J. Hairston will resume his basketball career in the NBA D-League with the Texas Legends.

The Legends, who held the No. 1 turn in the D-League's player selection process, used it Tuesday to select Hairston and then welcomed the former Tar Heels forward with a tweet.

ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman reported last week that Hairston, according to several NBA executives, could play his way into the first round of the draft with strong play in the D-League. One general manager told Goodman that Hairston, at present, is considered a fringe first-rounder.
