Iowa Energy forward Moses Ehambe is the recipient of the 2012 Jason Collier Sportsmanship Award, as voted on by the 16 NBA Development League head coaches. The award honors the player who best represents the ideals of character and conduct on and off the court.
A four-year NBA D-League veteran, Ehambe averaged 12.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 26.9 minutes in 46 games, 26 starts, during the 2011-12 campaign. The 6-6, 215-pound swingman out of Oral Roberts led the Energy in scoring six times, including back-to-back 30-plus point games on Dec. 1 and 3.
“Moses is a consummate professional, an exemplary teammate and valuable member of the Energy and NBA D-League families,” said Chris Alpert, Vice President of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel for the NBA D-League. “His continued commitment to being an ambassador of the game on and off the court is apparent in his deep respect for his teammates, opponents and referees as well as his passion for being a productive member of the Des Moines community. I congratulate Moses on another successful season on the court and for his unwavering dedication as a role model in our League.”
