www.fcbarcelona.cat
Pete Mickeal has agreed terms with Regal FC Barcelona for the next two seasons. The club can cut him at the end of the first one.
Pete
Mickeal
comes to Barcelona after two very successful seasons with TAU Cerámica. The American has
agreed terms with Barça for the next two seasons and the club has an option to cancel the contract
after one. Mickeal’s signing reinforces the '3' position, especially bearing in mind that
Lubos Barton is sidelined.
Outstanding newcomer
2005 was an especially good year for Pete Mickeal after he left Makedonikos to join Leche Río
Breogán. He soon became a key member of the Galician outfit and was the outstanding newcomer in the
ACB.
His first game was against Pamesa Valencia and he scored 16 points. His end-of-season average
was 19 to put him second in the points scoring table in the ACB. He also achieved the highest
rating (21.3) of the year and was MVP six times (games 9, 10, 14, 25, 30 and 33). In addition he
was player of the month in November, December and March.
