2010 NBA Draft

Ekpe Udoh – 6th Overall

Udoh missed the beginning of his rookie season due to injury and never really got a chance to establish himself in the league. Only halfway through his second year with the Golden State Warriors, he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Udoh is strong and is a decent defensive player, but that is all he is at this point. This is his third year in the league and he has not shown any signs of drastical improvement. He is putting up 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

He is probably good enough to stay in the league and fill out the role of a defensive presence, but the Warriors ultimately made a poor decision when drafting him, especially considering Greg Monroe went to the Detroit Pistons with the seventh pick in the draft.
