Four years later, after earning his degree from the University of Michigan, Robinson entered the Javits Center in Manhattan on top of the world. He exited the NBA Draft as the tenth pick overall, the top selection of the Atlanta Hawks. Robinson was happy. In September, the 6-foot-1 guard agreed to a contract with the Hawks. On the same day the agreement was announced, the International Olympic Committee awarded the city of Atlanta the 19% Summer Olympics. Only one reporter attended Robinson's press conference. But once the season began, Rumeal put an end to his anonymity. In his first two games, he averaged 16 points and 10 assists in 26 minutes per game. Robinson was even happier. He drives an M5 that he bought with a very small fraction of his undisclosed multi- million dollar deal, and enjoys himself with the rest. But money isn't the only advantage the NBA holds over collegiate basketball. "It beats going to classes and getting up early," Robinson admitted. "It's like being in paradise." Now Robinson settles into his new lifestyle, accepting his playing time and his bench time with equal alacrity. As the Hawks starting point guard, he shares the backcourt with his mentor, Doc Rivers. And for part of every game, he yields to a shorter teammate, Spud Webb. While Robinson starts over Webb, he'd like to follow the 5- foot-7 guard's lead and capture the NBA Slam Dunk title. The title has resided in Atlanta on several occasions, including when it belonged to forward Dominique Wilkins'. Robinson cited that his biggest fear is returning to Michigan to play the Pistons, and having the fans boo him. We all know that won't happen, after all, he was the guy who hit those two free throws. But what a tense life he must lead if that is his biggest fear. Robinson is at his happiest. So happy that when asked to sum up his new career and life, he replied with a giggle: "NBA action... Fan-tastic." Mike Griffin Former Wolverine forward Mike Griffin is reportedly residing in Japan, where he plays basketball in a semi-professional corporate league. Word has it Griffin now scores 35 points a night in a very competitive league that recruits players worldwide. Yes, that's the same Mike Griffin. "It's something that I worked hard for," said Calip, who averaged 8.5 points per game last year. "I always wanted to be in this position and now it's been granted to me." But something that definitely was not granted to Calip were teammates of his caliber. The only other definite starter, Fisher said, is junior center Eric Riley. Riley, who saw his first action last season after being redshirted the year before, will be expected to carry the inside game. "I practiced all summer because I knew I would start," Riley said. "Compared to other (Big Ten) teams in size, we're giving up a lot." That will only make Riley's job harder - especially since he is extremely foul-prone. The Wolverines can ill afford to lose their only experienced big man, who Fisher said needs to play "30-some-odd minutes of the game." Michigan will depend upon a passing forward, probably surprise-of-the-preseason junior Chris Seter, to get Riley the ball in the post. "I complement Eric well," Seter said. "I'm finally getting a chaice to contribute. Hopefully, I'll stay healthy and continue to contribute." When the ball doesn't find its way to Riley, the Wolverines can be counted on to pull the trigger early and often from a host of guards, including designated shooter Tony Tolbert, a sophomore not known for lack of confidence. In fact, if things go too poorly in the paint, watch for Calip to lead a three-guard run- and-gun offense. "Last year, we had about six guys who could soore," Fisher said. "This year, it concerns me." The solution, apparently, is for Calip to move over to the shooting-guard slot - a position he enjoys playing - to let sophomore Michael Talley run the point and hope Tolbert doesn't miss too often. Seter and Riley would make the most of a bad situation inside. "I think that will be really exciting," Talley said. "With three guards, we'll have a lot of options." And with three guards on the floor, none basket-shy, look for Michigan to take more three- pointers than it has in the past. Three quick guards may also mean increased pressing on defense, a tactic the Wolverines have generally stayed away from in the past, in favor of a basic man-to-man setup. Like the starting five, Michigan's bench will often hope for the best. The two most experienced players - junior forward Rob Pelinka and junior guard Kirk Taylor - are a far cry from the sixth-man Michigan is used to, although each may surprise people this season. Pelinka is generally regarded as one of the best outside shooters on the team, and therefore may be called on to haul Michigan out of jams. Taylor missed last season with a knee injury suffered against Minnesota the year before, but looks to return to full-time duty by the Big Ten opener in January. Fisher said Taylor is about 80 percent healthy, but that his quickness has suffered. Taylor's presence will provide much needed leadership and experience, not to mention another guard in an offense that will probably be able to survive on a 10-second shot clock. James Voskuil is also returning from an injury. The junior forward should see increased action during the coming months. What remains unknown, and possibly untapped, are the newcomers - who generally have received credit for a huge amount of raw talent but little seasoning. Fisher's newest players are receiving more praise r after their initial practices than they were last spring. Forwards Rich McIver (6-9, 215) and Sam Mitchell (6-9, 220) will be called upon to fill vacancies left by Vaught and Mills sooner than they expected. "They're going to have to play power slots," Fisher said. "We're going to have to force feed them; they're going to have to grow up in a hurry." Chip Armer (6-9, 225), a junior college transfer, will replace Riley when fouls begin to mount on the starter, and sharpshooting guard Jason Bossard will add to the team's firepower. Three weeks ago, Fisher refused to name any starters besides Calip and Riley. At media day two weeks ago, he added Talley, Tolbert and Seter to the lineup, but stressed the paint wasn't yet dry on Weekend the Crisler hardwood. A ~ 4i TURBO 386-SX $1,800!

Gone are the hassles and $ headaches of dealing with four stars, and the media coverage that follows them. Gone is the reputation for underachievement, let and gone is a lineup which was all slam but impossible to break into. Instead, practices are more competitive than ever on a team that is expected be less competitive. "I think there's more excitement throughout the team in terms of, 'If I do well, I really might play,"' Fisher said. "We're going to be looking for starters. We'll probably have eight or more starting lineups." And when the coaches find those starters, don't be ashamed to take a gander up at the scoreboard if you need to figure out just who's on the floor. They may not be on their way to the NBA, but then again, nobody's expecting that. "Something out of the ordinary will have to happen for us to crack the top three (in the Big Ten)," Fisher said. "And something, exceptional will have to happen for us to make the top half. "And if you get in the top half, with the tradition we have, we might get into the tournament." Now, for a change, that would be an accomplishment. by Andr U Other Possible Configurations are Listed Below: Hard Disk Mono Monitor Mono Monitor VGA Monitor VGA Monitor Type 1 MEG Ram 4 MEG Ram 1 MEG Ram 4 MEG Ram None $1,400.00 $1,595.00 $1,815.00 $2,015.00 48 MEG $1,880.00 $2,075.00 $2,295.00 $2,490.00 80 MEG $2,080.00 $2,275.00 $2,495.00 $2,690.00 150 MEG $2,925.00 $3,120.00 $3,340.00 $3,535.00 320 MEG $3,555.00 $3,750.00 $3,970.00 $4,165.00 Other possible configurations are listed below: Hard Disk Mono Monitor Mono Monitor VGA Monitor VGA Monitor Type 1MEG Ram 4 MEG Ram 1MEG Ram 4MEG Ram None $1,790.00 $1,990.00 $2,205.00 $2,405.00 48 MEG $2,270.00 $2,470.00 $2,690.00 $2,890.00 80 MEG $2,470.00 $2,670.00 $2,885.00 $3,085.00 150 MEG $3,320.00 $3,520.00 $3,735.00 $3,935.00 320 MEG $3,945.00 $4,140.00 $4,360.00 $4,555.00 * With VGA, only one Parallel Port (2nd Optional) ANN ARBOR'S BEST SELECTION OF ACCESSORIES AND JEWELRY * With VGA, only one Parallel Port (2nd Optional) AFTER THE SALE - Our trained service technicians and sales representatives are ready to "guard" against any "illegal procedures" to ensure your "fast break" to success!
