    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Former Knicks center Michael Doleac helped take Utah to the 1998 NCAA title game, but if that achievement merited consideration for him as the school's best center, Doleac yesterday said he has to take a back seat to current Ute center Andrew Bogut.

    "He's already way better than me," said Doleac, the Heat's backup center. "Are you kidding?"

    Although Bogut, a Croatian who grew up in Australia, took only seven shots and scored just 10 points in Utah's 67-58 second-round upset of Oklahoma yesterday in the NCAA Tournament, he still played a key role with 11 rebounds and a career-high seven assists. "He's a great kid, a great passer," Doleac said. "Today he was unbelievable. The numbers don't look impressive, but it was impressive how he played, hitting people on backdoors, opening up the offense."

    Many experts consider Bogut a possible first or second pick in June's NBA draft. The Knicks could use a 7-foot center, but they're currently ninth in the draft order with little chance of landing Bogut.</div> Source

    Everyone in the lottery could use a skilled 7-0 center and there is only one who might enter
