Why did NY sign Dolec???

[Guest]

Isn't he basically Travis Knights twin brother?A jumper,but no

inside game and now a fairly big contract...Here is what Don

Cheney and Scott Layden had to say about the signing.

"Michael Doleac's size and shooting range help address some of our biggest needs, and we are very pleased to add him to our team today,"

"Almost as important is his solid character, which is invaluable in a team game and will be very important as we get back into contention in the Eastern Conference."

-Scott Layden

"Michael is a consistent, steady player who will add another dimension to our team"

"He?s the type of person who knows his strengths, and plays to them. Michael is a smart player who understands the game."

-Don Chaney

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!Funny stuff!

He fills their need for a Center and he's much more durable than Camby was. He's not going to make them contenders or make anyone forget about Ewing. But playing along side a top flight PF like Mcdysse will help mask a lot of his short comings. One thing about him is that he has heart, which is a big thing when you aren't extremely talented. It's also something that I feel he has over Camby. Camby wasn't terribly talented either and he had no heart.

I'd say Dolec and Knight are about the same.They might hit

a few jumpers and grab a few boards....but they surely aren't

NBA starters.But no big deal,it only makes it easier for us to

beat them.

if he starts at the center position, Ratliff would have a block party for all the hawks fans

but seriously- Doleac is a good backup PF/C, i just dont see him starting in this league.
