With the sixth overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft the Golden State Warriors took Ekpe Udoh out of Baylor University. There was heavy speculation on the team being impressed with Udoh, and even more speculation on whether or not it was just a smokescreen. Clearly, it isn't.
NBA.com has some highlights listed on the 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward:
