swolehawk2 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Atlanta Hawks General Manager Billy Knight announced on Feb. 18 that the club has requested waivers on center Michael Doleac. The 6-11 center was acquired by the Hawks on Sunday in a three-team deal, along with Joel Przybilla and a 2005 second-round pick. Additionally, the Hawks have signed veteran center Mamadou N'diaye, most recently with the National Basketball Development League's (NBDL) Asheville Altitude, to a 10-day contract. N'diaye, a 7-foot, 255-pound Auburn ('00) product, was a first-round selection (26th overall) by the Denver Nuggets in the 2000 NBA Draft. He played the last three seasons with the Toronto Raptors, participated in training camp with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2003, and played out a pair of 10-day contracts with the Dallas Mavericks last month (3 games played, averaging 0.3 rpg and 0.3 bpg in 2.3 mpg). Since then, N'diaye has played in six games with Asheville, recording 8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per contest (.471 FG%, .700 FT%). He has NBA career averages of 4.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game (.450 FG%, .746 FT%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
