    GREENVILLE, S.C., Jan. 26 ?- Charleston Lowgators point guard Tierre Brown has signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Hornets, making him the fourth "Gatorade Call-Up" of the season for the National Basketball Development League.

    Brown is the second Charleston player to be called up to the NBA in the last 12 days. Forward Ime Udoka just completed a 10-day assignment with the Los Angeles Lakers and will return to Charleston to take the vacant spot on the Lowgators roster.

    Since the NBDL began competition in November 2001, 20 players have received 26 "Gatorade Call-Ups" to play for NBA teams.</div>

    This is a well thought out signing, seeing the Hornets' depth problems at point guard right now. Hopefully this will give Tierre a chance to showcase his skills quickly, since he'll be gone once Baron gets back. For that matter, with the way DA is playing, Tierre is gonna have to really do something to get quality minutes, but hopefully he'll get his chance.
