Warriors' Azubuike Succeeding In NBA

 
In the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, Janny Hu writes "Kelenna Azubuike and assistant coach Rico Hines were watching Ellis' high-flying act in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge on television at Baron Davis' Vegas home when their own aspirations took off. Azubuike was barely six weeks into his rookie season, but he had started six games for the shorthanded Warriors, averaging double-digits in scoring and dropping 28 points in a 48-minute outing."
