GREENVILLE, S.C., Jan. 19, 2007 - Four NBA Development League teams made roster moves today, ensuring new faces on the court in tonight's action for Albuquerque, Arkansas, Dakota and Los Angeles.

The Albuquerque Thunderbirds have acquired rookie guard Cedric Bozeman (6-6, 207), who was waived by the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 3. From UCLA, Bozeman played in 23 games (five starts) for the Hawks, averaging 1.1 points and 1.0 rebound. As a senior at UCLA, he averaged 7.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 31 games. The T-Birds waived center Wesley Wilson, who played in five games, averaging 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds.

The Arkansas RimRockers have acquired rookie forward Roger Powell (6-6, 225), who was waived by the Utah Jazz on Jan. 4. In three games for the Jazz he scored two points and had three rebounds. Powell started all 39 games for Illinois last season, ranking fourth on the team in scoring at 12.0 ppg and second in rebounding at 5.7 rpg. Arkansas waived forward Jonathan Moore, who played in 20 games, averaging 8.1 points and 5.1 rebounds.

Guard Curtis Stinson (6-3, 215) has been acquired by the Dakota Wizards to fill the spot vacated when Renaldo Major earned a Gatorade Call-Up to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. A First Team All-Big 12 selection last season after averaging 19.4 points, 5.6 assists and 2.4 steals, he went undrafted in the 2006 NBA Draft as an early entrant.

The Los Angeles D-Fenders have acquired guard Andre Emmett (6-5, 230), a second round selection (35th overall) by the Seattle Sonics in the 2004 NBA Draft. His draft rights were later traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he played in eight games during the 2004-05 season. After being waived from the 2005 Miami HEAT training camp, he was allocated to the Austin Toros of the D-League where he played in 47 games (18 starts), averaging 12.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Emmett takes the roster spot vacated when Robb Dryden left the team for personal reasons.
