Him or 2Pac.... Oklahoma City Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced that the team has signed guard Mustafa Shakur to a 10-day contract. Shakur is a free agent call-up from the Tulsa 66ers, NBA Development League affiliate of the Oklahoma City Thunder. At the time of his call-up the 2010 D-League All-Star was averaging 20.7 points (9th in the D-League) while shooting 50.3% from the floor (295-587 FG), 7.2 assists (4th in D-League), 2.3 steals (3rd in D-League) and 39.4 minutes in 40 games (40 starts).

I'm glad to see another Arizona Wildcat getting a chance in the league. I hope he does well, but he'll always be a disappointment to me. Coming into college, he was supposed to be the next in the line of great UA point guards like Stoudamire, Bibby, Terry, and Gardner. He never lived up to the hype. I'm really surprised to see that he's been averaging 20 points a game in the D-League. I wonder if he's fixed that ugly jumper he had in college.
