Charles Salim Stoudamire (born October 11, 1982 in Portland, Oregon) is an American professional basketball player. He is a cousin of former NBA point guard and 1996 NBA Rookie of the Year Damon Stoudamire and current University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball player Terrence Jones.[1]
Stoudamire was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the second round (31st overall pick) of the 2005 NBA Draft. At the University of Arizona, Stoudamire led the Wildcats to an Elite Eight appearance in 2005. Stoudamire hit a fadeaway shot with less than two seconds on the clock to beat Oklahoma State University in the Sweet 16. He also broke Arizona's individual three-point field goal percentage record (shot 50.4% in 2004–05), previously held by former NBA champion and Arizona alumnus Steve Kerr. In his Arizona career, the guard made 342 three-point field goals.
Previously, Stoudamire graduated from Lake Oswego High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon as a member of the class of 2001. He also attended Lincoln High School in Portland during his freshman year.
