Michael Doleac, New York Knicks First round (12th pick), 1998 Orlando Magic Cleveland Cavaliers New York Knicks Pre-Draft Q&A with Mike Doleac Post-Draft Q&A with Mike Doleac Comments from Orlando Coach Chuck Daly: "Mike is playing with confidence. He knows how to play basketball. He knows how to wade in defensively. I think he had an exceptional college coach in [Rick] Majerus. They play more of a pro-style. I don't think he babied him. He made him play. He's a tough kid. It makes my job easier when there are replaceable parts." [Orlando Sentinel, 2/18/99] |

Training Camp News from Akron Beacon-Journal (7/99) The Cavs' best rookie so far has been point guard Andre Miller, who had 12 points and six assists last night to finish with averages of 10.7 points and 4.7 assists in three games. Most importantly, a night after helping to hold Atlanta's Jason Terry to 4-of-11 shooting, he helped to hold Charlotte's Baron Davis to 1-of-12 shooting. ``He's solid,'' Cavs Coach Randy Wittman said. ``Baron missed some open looks, but Andre had something to do with it. He played four years of college under (Rick) Majerus (at Utah). He knows how to play defense.'' |
