Troy Lee Mikell (born 1960s) is an American former basketball player. He was a draft pick in the 1983 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks (5th round, 105th overall) after a four-year collegiate career at East Tennessee State University (ETSU).[1] Mikell, at 6'1" and 180 pounds, played forward in high school but shooting guard in college.[2]
During Mikell's ETSU career with the Buccaneers, he scored 1,684 points, made 637 field goals and shot 55% from the field.[3] As a freshman in 1979–80 he averaged 16.5 points per game and was named the Southern Conference (SoCon) Freshman of the Year, narrowly edging out Western Carolina's Ronnie Carr for the honor.[2] Over his final three seasons Mikell garnered two Second Team All-SoCon and one First Team All-SoCon honors;[4] in his senior season of 1982–83 he was also named the Southern Conference Player of the Year.[4] That year, he averaged 18.3 points per game behind 67.5% field goal shooting as he led ETSU to a berth in the 1983 National Invitation Tournament.[4] He was also Sports Illustrated's national player of the week in March 1983.[5]
After being drafted by the Knicks in the NBA Draft, Mikell was later cut prior to the start of the 1983–84 NBA season.[1][6]
