Quintin Dailey was one of the last standouts from the University of San Francisco Dons to make it big in the NBA. In 1982, Dailey averaged 25.2 ppg during his junior year with the Dons which paved the way for his selection as the seventh pick over-all by the Chicago Bulls in the rookie draft. Dailey, 49, passed away last Monday in his North Las Vegas home due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease. The 6-3 Baltimore native played 10 years in the NBA for the Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and Seattle Supersonics with career averages of 14.1 ppg, 2.5 rpg and 2.3 apg in 528 total games. His high school coach Dan Belluomini says Dailey was a tremendous player with a great work ethic, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“Not only was Quintin a tremendous player, he was a terrific worker. When the ball went up, nobody competed harder than he did. I always appreciated his hard work and his ability to rise to the occasion. It's a shame that he passed so early.”
