NBA Holds Draft, Declares War On ABA NEW YORK UP> — With All- American Elvin Hayes safely tucked away, the National Bas ketball Association announced its first-round draft picks Wednes day and determinedly set out to beat the American Basketball As sociation to Westley Unseld and a host of lesser-known players. The San Diego Rockets, who had first choice in the draft, se lected Hayes last week and signed him, reportedly to a four-year contract worth $440,000. The player of the year from the Uni versity of Houston also was sought by the Houston Mavericks of the ABA. The other NBA teams made their picks Monday on a tele phone hookup and the league dis closed the selections Wednesday. The Baltimore Bullets, who lost a coin flip to San Diego for the No. 1 pick, chose Unseld, two- time All-American from Louis ville. “We’re going to leave no stone unturned to sign Unseld to an NBA contract,” General Manager Buddy Jeanette said. “Our owners have pledged themselves to bring Unseld to Baltimore in a Bullets’ uniform.” Meanwhile, the Kentucky Col onels of the ABA offered the 6- foot-8 star a four-year contract worth $500,000. Just what kind of contracts might be offered other No. 1 choices was not known, but most of the other first-round players lack the glamor that has built up around the names of Hayes and Unseld. Seattle was third in the draft and selected 6-8 Bob Kauffman of Guilford. Chicago followed with 7-foot Tom Boerwinkle of Tennessee, Cincinnati with 6-8 Don Smith of Iowa State and De troit with 6-11 Otto Moore of Pan American. The two new teams selected next. Milwaukee took 6-8 Charles Paulk of Northeastern Oklahoma and Phoenix grabbed 6-7 Gary Gregor of South Carolina. San Francisco selected 6-3 Ron Williams of West Virginia; New York, 6-8 Bill Hosket of Ohio State; Los Angeles, 6-5 Bill Hew itt of Southern California; Bos ton, 6-5 Don Chaney of Houston; St. Louis, 6-1 Skip Harlicka of South Carolina, and Philadelphia, ABA THE BATTALION Thursday, April 4, 1968 College Station, Texas Page 7 6-5 Shaler Halimon of Utah State.
