Encyclopedia > Olden Polynice

Olden Polynice (born November 21, 1964 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti) was a professional basketball center with the Seattle Supersonics, Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Sacramento Kings, and Utah Jazz. He played college basketball at the University of Virginia, and was drafted 8th overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 1987 NBA Draft. Polynice holds the dubious distinction of having been traded for future hall-of-famer Scottie Pippen, before either player had ever stepped on an NBA court. In 15 NBA seasons, Polynice averaged 23.5 minutes, 7.8 points, and 6.7 rebounds per game, with a respectable career PER of 13.2. At 6'11", Olden was often signed by teams in need of a good rebounder and tough interior player, and Polynice ranks among the NBA's all-time leaders in offensive rebounds. Polynice retired in 2004 after a brief return to the Clippers that season. November 21 is the 325th day of the year (326th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

ESPN.com - NBA - Charge might violate Polynice's probation (371 words)
HOLLADAY, Utah -- Former Utah Jazz center Olden Polynice was charged Tuesday with hitting and spitting on a Salt Lake County man during a fight at a golf course.
Polynice's attorney, Gary Gitlin, said the evidence won't support a conviction because, according to a sheriff's report, there were no independent witnesses and the alleged victim had no marks on his face.
If Polynice is convicted, he could be found in violation of his probation in the road-rage incidents.
