MacCULLOCH, TODD

6-11 C (WASHINGTON, 1995-99)

        Born Jan. 27, 1976 in Winnipeg. Played with the Canadian junior national team. Once scored 76 points in a game for Winnipeg Shaftesbury HS. In his senior high school year, averaged 30ppg and 15 rpg. Redshirted as a freshman in 1995. He later said that was the best thing that ever happened to him.

        As a freshman in 1996, MacCulloch played in 28 games, for an average 15 mpg. He hit 104-154 (.675) from the field and 38-59 (.644) from the line, while garnering 134 boards (4.8 rpg), 77 fouls, 4 assists (0.1 apg), 26 turnovers, 32 blocks (1.1 bpg), 10 steals (0.4 spg) and 246 points, for an 8.8 ppg. The Huskies, coached by Bob Bender, finished 16-12 overall and 9-9 (5th) in Pac 10 play. MacCulloch started several games, scoring 22 and grabbing 20 rebounds versus Arizona State, in the first 20-20 game by a Huskie in two decades. He 12.1 ppg over the last 15 games and was voted to the all-Pac 10 freshman team. In summer of 1996, MacCulloch played on the Canadian national team.

As a sophomore in 1997, MacCulloch’s totals rose to 14.2 ppg (398 points in total), 7.3 rpg (204 boards), 0.4 apg (12 assists), .676 (163-241) from the field (which led the entire NCAA) and .735 (72-98) from the line. He demonstrated great hands and improved mobility, “He got a real feel for the game,” said coach Bob Bender. Blue Ribbon noted that MacCulloch “can be pushed around but is on target to be a high draft choice. Started 24 of 28 games, averaged 21.9 mpg. He committed 88 fouls, fouling out four times, 48 turnovers, 25 blocks (0.9 bpg) and had 17 steals (0.6 spg). The Huskies finished 17-11, and 10-8 (tied 6th) in the Pac 10 under Bender. MacCulloch twice topped 30 points, including a 38-point night against James Madison. He scored the winning bucket in games against Oregon and Washington. Hit 24 points and notched 11 boards against Stanford’s Tim Young to lead Washington to a 75-61 victory and Cardinal point guard Brevin Knight noted, “he just killed us. We knew he was good inside but he just killed us today.” But he also had passive nights, including nine in which he didn’t score in double figures, and two-point outings against Oregon and Arizona. Washington was 7-0 when MacCulloch had double-doubles. “He had some unbelievable performances,” said Bender. “But his ability to play longer stretches of time, be more consistent and give repeat performances from night to night will be critical.” He ranked second on team in scoring and second in rebounding. The Huskies were 15-4 in games in which he scored in double figures. He grabbed a season-high 16 rebounds against Washington State, hitting the game-winner with 17 seconds to play. MacCulloch played 37 minutes and recorded 18 points and 14 rebounds in regular-season finale against USC.

        MacCulloch became the Pac Ten’s most consistent big man in his junior year, averaged 18.6 (557 points) ppg, 9.7 rpg, (292 total including 94 offensive boards) 38 blocks (1.3 bpg), 13 steals (0.4 spg), committed 46 turnovers, 66 fouls, in 28.2 mpg and shooting .650 (225-346) from the floor and .704 (107-142) from the line for a 20-10 Huskies squad, coached by Bender, which finished 11-7 (4th) in the Pac Ten. The Huskies defeated Xavier 69-68 and Richmond 81-66 in the NCAA before falling in the Sweet Sixteen to Connecticut 75-74. Played in 30 games for 848 minutes or 28.3 mpg, and had 0.4 (11 assists) apg, “He’s not Shaq. (But) he’s so good for his team. I can’t thing of the last time we came upon a team and a centre that is so efficient,” said Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun after the contest. A two-time national field goal percentage leader, MacCulloch improved his strength, stamina and ability to stay out of foul trouble over the season. “His greatest improvement last year is he became a focus of defences we face and now he’s used to that,” Bender said. ‘Mentally, he’s learned how to deal with that. He became a better passer and he varied his offense better. Before, he was mostly a post-up player. Now he’s diversified. He’s got a little 15-foot jumper.” MacCulloch scored in double figures 15 times and had 15 double-doubles including a 33-point 11 rebound night against Portland, a 30-point 21-reb game against Arizona State, and a 26-point, 17 board performance in a rematch with the Sun Devils. MacCulloch led all Pac-10 players with 15 double-doubles. In three NCAA tournament games, he led the team with 21.7 points and 12 rebounds per game while shooting .620 from the floor. He had 31 points to set a Husky tournament-record in the win over Richmond. He scored 18 in the loss to Connecticut. He scored 30 or more points on four occasions and was selected first team all-Pac 10.

MacCulloch couldn’t bench press 65 pounds when he arrived at Washington. He told the Seattle Times: “They said I wasn’t that bad but later admitted they thought I was the worst player they had ever seen.” But he kept working and improved his bench press to 250 pounds by start of junior year. “One of the real keys to why Todd has done what he’s done is his personality. He doesn’t get caught up in all his success and, when he does struggle, he doesn’t get too down. For a big man, that’s very important,” Bender said.

In his senior year in 1999, MacCulloch again led the nation in field goal percentage, shooting .662 from the floor to become only the second player after Jerry Lucas at Ohio State to lead the nation in field goal percentage for three-consecutive season. He capped his career with 1,743 points to rank third on Washington’s all-time scoring list. MacCulloch finished his career with 975 rebounds and 142 blocks. On the season, MacCulloch played in 29 games, for an average 31.2 mpg. He hit 210-317 (.662) from the field and 122-205 (.595) from the line, while garnering 345 boards (11.9 rpg), 74 fouls, 24 assists (0.8 apg), 42 turnovers, 47 blocks (1.6 bpg), 29 steals (1.0 spg) and 542 points, for an 18.7 ppg. The Huskies finished 17-12 overall and 10-8 (4th) in Pac-10 play and then lost to Miami-Ohio 59-58 in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. MacCulloch was an honorable mention All-American by Associated Press and selected first-team all-Pac-10. He led the Pac 10 with 19 double-doubles and posted his third career 20-20 with 26 points and 21 rebounds against UCLA. He scored 31 points on 13-14 from the floor and had 17 rebounds against California.

        After the season, MacCulloch was drafted in the NBA second round (47th overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers. Signed for the league minimum $301,875 for one year.

        Signs with New Jersey in 2001 for a six-year, $34-million contract. “I was blown away” by their offer, he says. “I thought my agent was pulling my leg a bit. The part I like the most is they really wanted me as a player. They made me their priority. When somebody goes after you like that, you feel like there’s a reason for it.” In 2001, he averages 9.7 points per game and 6.1 rebounds while starting 62 games as the Nets capture the Eastern Conference title. Averaged 24.2 minutes per game. Shot .531 from the floor

        In August-2002, MacCulloch is traded by New Jersey, along with Keith Van Horn, back to Philadelphia for Dikembe Mutombo.

        In Feb-2003, MacCulloch is diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disorder in his arms and legs. Has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder, an inherited neurological condition that causes people slowly lose normal use of extremities. The muscles in the hands, arms, legs and feet become weak because of the loss of stimulation by the affected nerves. “My NBA career is secondary now,” he says. “If the treatments start to work right away and it just goes away, then basketball would be the NO. 1 thing on my mind. It really all depends on how my body reacts and how it is able to recover.” Earlier in the year, he was also diagnosed with a related condition called chronic inflammatory mylinating polyradiculoneuropathy, in which a person’s immune system turns against the outer coatings of the nerves and a person loses sensations in their arms and legs.

        MacCulloch earned US$27,953,375 over the course of his NBA career.

MAGLIORE, JAMAL

6-10 C (KENTUCKY, 1997-2000)

        Born May 21, 1978 in Toronto, Ontario. Magliore averaged 23.8 ppg, 14.7 rpg, 3.0 apg and 7.2 bpg in his senior high school season, leading Toronto’s Eastern Commerce HS to a provincial title under coach Simeon Mars. One of Canada’s most heavily recruited players ever, Magliore appeared to narrow his list down to Purdue and Pittsburgh and after his official visit to Purdue, announced to several people on that campus that he would signing scholarship papers. Ten days later, Magliore called a press conference to announce that he would be attending Kentucky. What made him change his mind? “The opportunity to play right away and the chance to have an impact on the team was very important,” Magliore told the Lexington Herald-Leader. “I’ll be very honest. I expect to start. You look at the roster. I think the opportunity is there.” Magliore told the Toronto Star that head coach Rick Pitino was the attraction. “He’s the best teacher out there at the college level.” But certainly, Pitino’s decision to offer Magliore’s high school coach, Simeon Mars, an assistant coach’s job played a significant role. Mars told reporters that “Unlike a lot of Canadians, who’ve been labelled soft, he was little bit of nastiness to him on the court. He establishes himself. He competes.” Through the summer, played on Canada’s national team and struggled through his first exhibition contests before eventually settling down to score 14 and grab five rebounds against Argentina and then 10 points, five rebounds and four shots against Hungary.

        In his freshman year in 1997, Magliore played in 40 games, for an average 15.7 mpg. He hit 75-153 (.490) from the floor and 45-82 (.549) from the line, while garnering 177 boards (4.4 rpg), 120 fouls, 15 assists (0.4 apg), 64 turnovers, 79 blocks (2.0 bpg), 25 steals (0.6 spg) and 195 points, for a 4.9 ppg. The Wildcats, coached by Rick Pitino, finished 26-7 overall and 13-3 (1st) in the East division of the SEC before running off victories over Montana (92-54), Iowa (75-69), St. Joseph’s (83-68), Utah (72-59) and Minnesota (78-69) to make the NCAA final, where they lost 84-79 to Arizona in overtime. Magliore started 22 games, led the SEC in blocks and was a unanimous selection to the SEC All-Freshman team. He gained a reputation for defensive prowess but had a marginal offensive presence. He reached double figures eight times, including a career-high 15 points against Syracuse. He had three 10-rebound-games and told the Cats’ Pause that his aggressive streak came from “just growing up (in Toronto). There were a lot of growing pains and lot of scuffles. Those growing pains I went through make me not fear anyone else and make me play with the aggressiveness that I do.”

        After the season, Magliore threatened to transfer to another school once Pitino accepted a contract with the Boston Celtics and it appeared administrative assistant coach Simeon Mars was about to be turfed by replacement head coach Tubby Smith. But Smith kept Mars on board and Magliore went on to help the Wildcats win the national title. Said new coach Tubby Smith: “The transition to college is tough for any player but it was probably a little tougher on Jamaal because he was from Canada and then having Rick leave was a big adjustment. Then he was gone during the summer for the second straight year and that hurt his relationships with one and the players. He wasn’t around to get to know us better.” Early in spring Magloire was riding in a vehicle stopped by Louisville police but one of his travelling companions, a 51-year-old male was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and heroin. “He was with some people he shouldn’t have been with that had drugs in the car. He didn’t have anything in his pockets, but Jamaal knows that we do not allow (our players) to socialize with grown-ups of that nature or people of that kind,” said Smith. “We don’t condone any of that. That’s one of the reasons I’m disappointed in his behaviour.”

        As a sophomore in 1998, Magliore was suspended briefly early in the season. He started 12 of 38 games, toiling an average 14.9 mpg. He hit 77-158 (.487) from the floor, and 43-64 (.672) from the line, while garnering 161 boards (including 52 on the offensive glass and a 4.2 rpg), 99 fouls, 11 assists, 46 turnovers, 66 blocks, 10 steals and 197 points, for a ppg of 5.2. Kentucky, coached by Tubby Smith, captured the national crown with victories over S. Carolina State 88-67; St. Louis 88-61; U.C.L.A. 94-68; Duke 86-84; Stanford 86-85 and then Utah 78-69 in the national final. The Wildcats finished 35-4 overall and 14-2 (1st, Eastern division) of the SEC. Magliore played behind Nazr Mohammed, coming off the bench to make a major contribution in the NCAA tourney, averaging 16.3 minutes, 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. The Wildcats defeated South Carolina State 82-67, St. Louis 88-61, U.C.L.A. 94-68, Duke 86-84, Stanford 86-85 and Utah 78-69 to win the NCAA title. In the final, Magliore played 22 minutes in a defensive role, grabbing two rebounds and blocking three shots. In the earlier semi-final, Magliore scored 6 points against Stanford, grabbed four rebounds, and blocked 2 shots in 19 minutes of play.

        As a junior in 1999, Magliore started 6 of 34 games, playing an average 19.6 mpg. He hit 94-177 (.531) from the field and 49-85 (.576) from the line, while garnering 151 boards (including 48 on the offensive glass and a 4.4. rpg), 79 fouls (fouling out once), 18 assists (0.5 apg), 42 turnovers, 66 blocks (1.9 bpg), 16 steals and 237 points, for a ppg of 7.0. Magliore solidified his reputation as a defensive stopper and an awful free throw shooter who scored in double figures 11 times in 34 games. He proved a foul-prone, tough, nasty defender. Kentucky was (28-9) and (11-5) under Tubby Smith. Late in season, Magliore finally began channeling his aggression and in postseason play averaged 8.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.3 bpg and shot .558 from the floor. “For a guy previously viewed as a defensive-minded thug, they were impressive” numbers. Part of late season surge that allowed Kentucky to capture the SEC Tournament and then advance to the Elite Eight with wins over New Mexico State (82-60), Kansas (92-88) and Miami-Ohio (58-43). They lost to Michigan State 73-66 in the regional final. After the season, Wildcat starter Michael Bradley, who started all 37 games, transferred to Villanova and although Magliore contemplated entering NBA draft, the transfer prompted him to remain for his final season. “It’s a win-win situation. I wanted to make a great decision, not a good decision. The great decision was to come back.” Most experts didn’t think he was ready for the NBA and another year might improve his draft position. Also said loyalty to Smith weighed in his decision. “We’ve had some people transfer. I couldn’t turn my back and that really weighed into my decision.” Smith was counting on him to provide senior leadership. “His aggressiveness will be a big plus for our team, and we’ll be counting on him to step up and be a leader. Hopefully, his aggressive quality will rub off on the younger guys.”

        As a senior in 2000, Magliore played in 33 games for 976 minutes. He hit 148-296 (.500) from the field and 139-203 (.685) from the line, while garnering 300 boards (including 116 on the offensive glass and a 9.2 rpg), 18 assists, 17 steals, 57 blocks, 91 fouls, 95 turnovers and 435 points, for a ppg of 13.2. As a senior, Magliore was named to the all-SEC team. He gained a reputation as an enforcer who didn’t mine throwing an elbow when the referees weren’t looking. He led the Wildcats in scoring, rebounding, blocks and FG% as a senior. Kentucky, coached by Tubby Smith, finished 23-10 overall and 12-4 (tied 1st) in the East division of the SEC. The Wildcats defeated St. Bonaventure 85-80 in double overtime in the first round of the NCAA and then fell 52-50 to Syracuse.

        After the season, Magliore is selected in the first round (19^th overall) of the 2000 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets. Magliore was selected to the 2004 NBA All-Star Game. He was traded by the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets to the Milwaukee Bucks for Desmond Mason and a 2006 1^st round draft pick in October, 2005. In July, 2006, he was traded by the Bucks to the Portland Trail Blazers for Steve Blake, Ha Seung-Jin and Brian Skinner. In July 2007, he signed as a free agent with the New Jersey Nets.

        From Salmon Arm, B.C., McTavish averaged 25.0 ppg, 10.0 apg for Salmon Arm HS in his senior year. Finished his high school career by scoring over 2,000 points and was expected to be the backup point guard for the Utes.

        As a freshman in 1997, McTavish looked shaky at times and no more so than in the NCAA West regional final when he was picked clean by Kentucky’s Wayne Turner after starter Andre Miller was forced to the bench. But coach Rick Majerus forecast McTavish would eventually learn to handle the pressure. “His defense will come along, and he’s got to get stronger. He’ll make the big jump that most freshman make. He’ll be more comfortable with the system.” McTavish played in 32 games, for an average 9.9 mpg. He hit 22-46 (.478) from the field, 16-34 (.471) from the arc and 4-6 from the line, while garnering 20 boards (including 3 on the offensive glass and 0.6 rpg), 45 assists (1.4 apg), 32 turnovers (1.0 tpg), 6 steals (0.2 spg), 30 fouls and 64 points, for a 2.0 ppg.

They beat Navy 75-61, UNC Charlotte 77-58 and Stanford 82-77 before losing to Kentucky 72-59 in the NCAA West regional final. Stepping in for an injured Miller in the loss to Kentucky, he was picked clean on a steal which turned the momentum of the game around. Tested defensively.

        McTavish remained a backup to starting point guard Andre Miller as a sophomore during the Utes run the NCAA title match, where they fell to Kentucky. McTavish played in 34 games, for an average 9.8 mpg. He hit 26-72 (.361) from the floor, 20-56 (.357) from the arc and 21-29 (.724) from the line, while garnering 25 boards (including 6 on the offensive glass and a 0.7 rpg), 33 assists (1.0 apg), 27 turnovers (0.8 tpg), 6 steals (0.2 spg), 34 fouls and 93 points, for a 2.7 ppg.

Seeded 3rd in the west regional, Utah defeated San Francisco 85-68; Arkansas 75-69; West Virginia 65-61, Arizona 76-51 and North Carolina 65-59 before falling to Kentucky 78-69 in the NCAA final. At odds with coach Rick Majerus with his playing time, McTavish transferred to Idaho State. In the final against Kentucky, McTavish played three minutes and two assists.

        Was projected to be a starter in 99-00 but was lost for the season when he suffered a knee injury while playing for the Canadian national team at the Pan American Games. Idaho State said they’d seek another year of eligibility for McTavish.

As a junior in 2001, McTavish was expected to play a big role for the Bengals, said head coach Doug Oliver. “He can shoot it deep, so you have to guard him on the perimeter. He has the ability to dribble penetrate and create shots for others. That’s something we were missing the last two years. He has the entire package. He can score it himself, but he’s just as happy with someone else putting the points on the board.” McTavish proved to be sensational for the Bengals. With him the line-up they went 10-6 in Big Sky play, finishing third and earning their first conference tournament postseason berth in four years. He averaged 15.6 ppg. “he exposed the returning players to what it takes to prepare yourself for a long season,” said Oliver. “Where he had an impact was the emotional lift he gave us on the floor, sometimes good, sometimes bad. He was so competitive. In the spring and fall workouts, he raised the bar a little bit. That impact is as great as any he will have.” McTavish started 28 of 28 games, playing an average 35.1 mpg. He hit 136-347 (.392) from the floor, 75-194 (.387) from the arc and 91-112 (.813) from the line, while garnering 62 boards (including 11 on the offensive glass and a 2.2 rpg), 155 assists (5.5 apg), 103 turnovers (3.7 tpg), 29 steals (1.0 spg), 1 block, 73 fouls (fouling out once) and 438 points, for a 15.6 ppg. He was chosen all-Big Sky. Idaho State finished 14-14 overall and 10-6 (3rd) in Big Sky play.

McTavish appealed to the NCAA for another year of eligibility but was denied. He sat on the Bengals bench as a graduate assistant in 2002.
