In August, Danielian was named most valuable player of the 5th Pan Armenian Games in Yerevan, Armenia.  Danielian led Los Angeles to a gold medal with a 49 point performance in the championship game against Sochi, Russia, with the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, in attendance.

Carl Bardakian, Los Angeles men’s basketball head coach and U.S. representative to the Basketball Federation of Armenia, stated “Danielian’s deep three point shooting range, competitive drive and outstanding work ethic impressed the Wolfenbuettel coaches and scouts.  I anticipate Danielian making an immediate impact for Wolfenbuettel.”  Hrachya Rostomyan, President of the Basketball Federation of Armenia, expressed his congratulations to Danielian on behalf of the Basketball Federation of Armenia.  Rostomyan stated “We are very proud of Mike and look forward to him having great success with Wolfenbuettel.  Mike has the full support and encouragement of the Basketball Federation of Armenia.”
