<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Dallas Mavericks signed 7-foot, 255-pound center Mamadou N'Diaye to a 10-day contract Tuesday in hopes the former first-round pick can help their inside game. N'Diaye has played only 30 games since Denver made him the 26th overall pick of the 2000 draft. He averaged 5.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.45 blocks in 22 games with Toronto last season. The Mavs' center rotation has consisted mostly of several undersized players, primarily Danny Fortson, and 7-foot-6 Shawn Bradley, who has been battling injuries. N'Diaye fills the roster spot of another of those undersized players, Eduardo Najera, who is on the injured list. </div> Source
