After his successful play in Turkey, Ekpe Udoh could return to the NBA. He was Baylor’s starting power forward on the 2009-2010 Elite Eight team.
“Spending this season with Fenerbahce was critical,” Udoh said. “After the previous two years in the NBA, it was difficult to go through injuries and not receiving the chance to play my game. Fenerbahce allowed me to be aggressive, and I got to play for a great coach in [Zeljko] Obradovic. I got to play a lot of minutes and keep my body in shape.
Udoh was the 6th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
