Fenerbahce was searching for a starting center and the chosen one is Ekpe Udoh who played five season in the NBA and he will debut in the Euroleague.
In the shortlist of Zeljko Obradovic were also Ryan Hollins and Bernard James but the Turkish team decided sign the 28 year-old center (2.08 m.) who took part in 274 NBA games with three different teams (Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers) since 2010. Udoh played also for few months in Bnei Herzilya during the NBA lock out.
Fenerbahce offered him a contract for one season and expects to add to its roster athletic skills and good defence above the rim.
