[edit] NBA career
Dickau was drafted in the first round (28th overall) by the Sacramento Kings in the 2002 NBA Draft. He has been traded eight times and worn various jersey numbers in his short career:
- to the Atlanta Hawks on June 26, 2002 (draft night);
- to the Portland Trail Blazers on February 9, 2004 (Rasheed Wallace trade);
- to the Golden State Warriors on July 20, 2004 (never played) (Nick Van Exel trade);
- to the Dallas Mavericks on August, 24, 2004 (Erick Dampier trade);
- to the New Orleans Hornets on December 3, 2004;
- to the Boston Celtics on September 30, 2005;
- to the Portland Trail Blazers (for a 2nd time) (#2) on June 28, 2006 and
- to the New York Knicks (#1) on June 28, 2007 (Zach Randolph trade).
On December 17, 2005, as a member of the Celtics, his season was ended by a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained while playing the Chicago Bulls. At the time, he was averaging 3.3 points per game and 2.1 assists per game. On June 28, 2006, the Boston Celtics traded Dickau, center Raef LaFrentz and the 7th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft to the Trail Blazers for center Theo Ratliff and guard Sebastian Telfair. Dickau was then sent to the Knicks in the trade that sent Zach Randolph east, only to be waived when the Knicks acquired Jared Jordan. Two days later, Dickau signed with the Clippers.[1][2]
At Gonzaga, he had a penchant for big-time plays. One of the only Zags to be featured in Sports Illustrated, Dickau was instrumental in putting a major stamp near Gonzaga for the basketball world.
[edit] Trivia
- Nicknamed "Disaster" by SLAM Magazine.[3]
- For two years in a row, Dickau was traded in a draft-day trade package, first from the Celtics to the Trail Blazers, then from the Trail Blazers to the Knicks.
[edit] International career
He shows interest in play for Polish Basketball National Team due to the fact his grandparents were born in Poland. He is to meet representatives of Polish Basketball Association shortly. In case of successful results of this meeting he has to wait several months to obtain Polish citizenship.[citation needed]
