Press Release - New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Isiah Thomas announced today that guard/forward Ime Udoka [ee-may u-dok-a] has been signed to a contract for the remainder of the season.

Udoka, 6-6, 215-pounds, averaged 17.1 points (ninth in league), 6.2 rebounds (16th) and 1.82 steals (third) in 45 games for the regular-season champion Fort Worth Flyers of the NBA Development League this season. He was chosen by D-League head coaches as a 2005-06 All-NBA D-League first team selection and was named the winner of the 2005-06 Jason Collier Sportsmanship Award.

The 28-year-old Portland, OR-native becomes the first player called-up from the NBA D-League for the Knicks and the 17th this season in the NBA.

After his senior year at Portland State, Udoka participated in Trail Blazers training camp in 2000, played for Fargo-Moorhead in the IBA during 2000-01, appeared in four games for the L.A. Lakers during 2003-04, played in Spain and France during 2004-05 and participated in training camp with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2005. He is a three-year NBA D-League veteran, playing for the Charleston Lowgators during 2002-03 and 2003-04.

The roster now stands at 15.

Never heard of him. I have no problem with the signing. But he's 28? I didn't even know you could be that old and still play in the NBDL. Doesn't sound like a high upside kid. Maybe he'll be a nice role player.

Never heard of him personally. Just wondering.. does anyone know what happened to Lenny Cooke? For some reason this signing makes me think of him. I remember watching him at ABCD camp and he wasn't bad, i know his head kept him out of the NBA.. anyone know if he's playing ball overseas?

Dude just dropped 33pts in a losing effort.

I went to Knicks basketball camp in the Summer of '99, and son of a gun, I swear, there was 1 guy that looked like Allan, one looked exactly like Charlie Ward, and one looked like Stephon Marbury. Weirdos.
