Worthy, who led his team to the NCAA
d mpionship in his final season, will soon
rpze a dream.
— Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has always been
/ ai idol of mine,” he said. “Now I’ll be play-
^ / ™ on the same team with him.”
The San Diego Clippers wasted little time
I [rafting Terry Cummings, from DePaul,
apdered the best power forward in the
t, with the second pick. The final mem-
be of an awesome trio, Dominique Wilkins
o| Georgia, whose flashy style has brought
to iparison with Julius Erving, went to
ih.

1 I6-8V2 banger beneath the boards — and

perhaps the draft’s best offensive guard.
Indiana took junior forward Clark Kel
logg of Ohio State and Detroit chose 6-8
Wichita State forward Cliff Levingston.
Atlanta, picking 10th, selected 6-5 shooting
guard Keith Edmonson of Purdue and Port

den State named 6-4 Lester Conner of Ore
gon State. Phoenix, in the No. 15 position,

in 6-5 guard Brook Steppe of Georgia Tech.
Detroit, selecting again, drafted 6-5 forward
Ricky Pierce of Rice.

liams before Milwaukee, at No. 20, chose 6-5
swingman Paul Pressey of Tulsa. New

round.
In the second round, San Antonio went
for guard Oliver Robinson of Alabama-
Birmingham and Washington picked guard
Bryan Warrick of St. Joseph’s. Seattle had to
wait for the third round before naming for
ward John Greig of Oregon.
“Everybody came away with two or three
good players,” said Marty Blake, the NBA’s
director of scouting.
The Celtics selected paralyzed star cen
ter, Landon Turner, who helped carry In
diana to an NCAA championship in 1981.
He was paralyzed as the result of an auto
mobile accident the summer after winning
the title.
“It was a good-will gesture. When we
made the pick,” Boston Coach Bill Fitch
said, ‘“Make it with pride.’ That’s what we
did.”
Turner, selected in the 10th round, was
the 225th player chosen.

| in the top five next year
I stayed at Texas. (Ralph)
pson is a senior next year
both Sam Bowie (Kentucky)
I Pat Ewing (Georgetown)
