Just spoke with Ekpe Udoh's sisters, Sefon and Esther. His parents are here too. They were very happily surprised at the No. 6 pick.
"EXCLUSIVE" on Ekpe Udoh: Theyre not familiar w/ Warriors' passionate fanbase. The "k" is pronounced lightly, not silent per NBA guide
Ekpe Udoh's mom tells me that his nickname is "Epps". WELCOME TO THE GSW, EPPS!!!
Official NBA pronunciation guide: Kevin Seraphin = KEH-veen sare-AH-fah. Yup, right there written on the paper they handed out.
