Former Princeton star center Steve Goodrich '98 has signed a contract with the Chicago Bulls to compete for a spot on the team's final roster.
The terms of the deal, which was made Tuesday, were not disclosed.
Goodrich spent last season playing for the Baltimore BayRunners of the International Basketball League, averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 assists per game.
The former Tiger also spent last preseason competing for a spot with the Philadelphia 76ers, before being cut just before the season started.
Goodrich has turned into more of an inside threat since leaving Princeton in 11th place on the all-time Tiger scoring list. The six-foot, 10-inch forward will bring a physical presence to Bulls camp.
Goodrich will be looking for playing time at the same position as last year's NBA rookie of the year, Elton Brand, who currently starts at power forward for Chicago.
In other NBA training camp action, former Penn guard Michael Jordan signed a deal to appear in training camp with the Boston Celtics.
The 6-0 guard was Penn's third-leading scorer of all time with 1,608 points and captained the Quakers to back-to-back Ivy League titles in 1999 and 2000.
Jordan figures to have veterans Kenny Anderson and Randy Brown ahead of him on the depth chart.
