[edit] NBA career

Following a college career at the University of Texas at Austin, Mihm was the 7th overall pick of the 2000 NBA Draft, chosen by the Chicago Bulls. He was traded 15 minutes later to the Cleveland Cavaliers for their pick, Jamal Crawford. In the weeks prior to the draft, Mihm had been floated as a potential number one overall selection, but concerns about his toughness dropped him in many scouts' books. He has averaged 8.0 points per game in his career, which has also included a stint with the Boston Celtics. Mihm was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a trade that sent Rick Fox and Gary Payton to the Celtics. He starts at center for the Lakers and was rapidly developing as a low post presence before an ankle injury essentially ended his season. He posted a career-high scoring average of 10.2 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.24 blocks before the injury.
