When an NBA veteran joins a minor league team mid-way through the season, who gets the perks of seniority? Who gets the apartment closer to the arena? Who gets to live by himself instead of with roommates? Who is the rookie?

Terry Dehere hasn't played a full NBA season in 4 years and he has never played a game in the NBDL, but when he sets foot in North Charleston, he assumes the role of the team veteran. Most of the Lowgators think he is assuming too much. Terry's housing demands force two other players to move to new places and the Lowgators locker room is starting to come apart. The results on the court are ugly.

Meanwhile, two of the original Lowgators are heading in opposite directions. When it all started in November, Coach Alex English had too many point guards. The journeyman Tes made the team and Tezale was sent home on a one-way flight to Fresno. Now Tes is saying his goodbyes while Tezale is saying hello again, as a new member of the Mobile Revelers with something to prove to his old coach.

With Tes gone and his replacement Terry causing friction, the Lowgators have a lot to overcome as they try to hold on to first place in the NBDL..

Follow Head Coach Alex English and his squad of young NBA hopefuls as ESPN presents a unique glimpse of life with the North Charleston Lowgators and unprecedented access on and off the court. A new episode will debut every Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. (ET) / 9:30 p.m. (PT) on ESPN and will be repeated during the week.
