    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Cavs.com)</div><div class='quotemain'>CLEVELAND, OH - July 10th, 2008 - The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed forward J.J. Hickson to a contract, Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry announced today. Per team and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    The Cavaliers selected Hickson with the 19th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. Hickson, 19, earned ACC All-Freshman Team honors and was named Honorable Mention All-Conference after averaging 14.8 points on a conference-best .591 shooting and 8.5 rebounds per game. He led all ACC freshmen in scoring, rebounding and double-doubles (10) and also earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors on three occasions. The 6-foot-9, 242-pound forward set an ACC single-game freshman record with 23 rebounds versus Clemson on Feb. 16. He scored in double figures in 25 of 31 career games, including seven games with 20 or more points.</div>

    I'm glad the paperwork is sorted, and I'm psyched to see Hickson in the Summer League this week. Hopefully he can be a big success alongside LeBron.

    So far so good, Hickson has been great. 26 points, 9 Rebounds against the Knicks, not to bad. He'll be able to get a lot of touches with LeBron and should be able to be a top rookie player this year.
