Knicks
Acquire Draft Rights to Jerome Jordan
New
York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations
Donnie Walsh announced today that the team has acquired the
draft rights to center
 Jerome Jordan from Milwaukee in
exchange for cash considerations. Jordan was selected by
Milwaukee in the second round (44th overall) of the 2010 NBA
Draft.
He is expected to play for the team’s entry in the
NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, NV. Per team policy, the
financial terms were not disclosed.
Jordan, 7-0, 253-pounds, played four seasons at the
University of Tulsa, averaging 11.3 points on .567 shooting
from the field, and 7.4 rebounds and 2.50 blocks in 133
games (119 starts). He was selected to the Conference USA
All-Defensive Team each of the last three seasons and earned
Second Team All-Conference USA honors as a senior after
averaging 15.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.34 blocks in 35
games (all starts). He is the only player in Conference USA
history to record at least 800 rebounds and 300 blocks, and
is the all-time Conference USA and Tulsa leader in blocked
shots.
He was born in Kingston, Jamaica and moved to the
United States as a high school junior. |
