The 6-foot-8 Mykhailiuk, who was 3 of 11 on three-pointers, committed eight turnovers against two assists in 34 minutes.

Dooley lauds Aaron Miles

Florida Gulf Coast University coach Joe Dooley on Wednesday praised first-year assistant and former KU guard Aaron Miles, who has accepted a job as head coach of the NBA G-League’s Santa Cruz Warriors, an affiliate of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors.

“I think it’s a great move,” former KU assistant Dooley told the Naples Daily News. “This is a championship organization and he’s going to be with the Warriors through training camp all the way through the exhibition season. Then he gets to coach 50 games with the organization. There’s room for advancement.

“Do a good job with the (G)-League and hopefully at some point he’ll be with the Warriors. It’s a first-class organization and that’s a big key in the NBA. It’s cool to see guys advance in their careers.”

Miles, 34, was a four-year starter at KU during 2001-05. He began his professional playing career as an undrafted rookie with Golden State in 2005. He played for the Warriors and the NBA D-League’s Fort Worth Flyers during the 2005-06 season, then played pro ball in France, Spain, Greece and Russia until his retirement after the 2014-15 season.

“Golden State is just a great organization, like everybody knows,” Miles told the Daily News. “That’s big, but the people involved in the organization are even more important. I had a chance to sit down with (Golden State coach) Steve Kerr and (Santa Cruz GM) Kent Lacob and (Santa Cruz assistant GM) Ryan Atkinson. Their conversation and mind frame and everything lined up with mine.

“This isn’t something where I was automatically going to say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to go and be a coach for a (G)-League team.’ It was all about right fit, relationships and being around good people.”

Dooley told the Daily News he already has candidates in mind to replace Miles.

Chalmers signs with Memphis

Former KU guard Mario Chalmers is joining former KU players Wayne Selden and Ben McLemore on the roster of the Memphis Grizzlies. Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace on Wednesday announced the signing of the 31-year-old Chalmers. Terms were not disclosed. ESPN indicated Chalmers received a one-year deal that is partially guaranteed.

Chalmers, an eight-year NBA veteran, last played during the 2015-16 season. He averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 assists in 55 games (seven starts) for the Grizzlies before sustaining a ruptured right Achilles’ tendon on March 7, 2016.

Memphis coach David Fizdale worked with Chalmers for seven seasons as an assistant with the Heat. Miami won two NBA titles with Chalmers as the starting point guard.
