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,
