1985 NBA draft
ear of Big Man
Associated Press
■NEW YORK — It’s the “Year of
the Big Man,” scouts said, and NBA
teams proved it Tuesday by taking
seven centers, led by Patrick Ewing,
and 11 forwards in the first round of
the college draft.
■Frontcourt players so dominated
B selections that of the first 17
|)icks, only two guards, Chris Mullin
of St. John’s and Alfredrick Hughes
of Chicago Loyola, were selected.
■"Prior to the draft, we had pegged
the top centers as Ewing, Benjamin,
Koncak and Kleine, and that was the
order they were selected in,” said the
NBA’s scouting chief, Marty Blake,
■here were no surprises. It was
Hly the ‘Year of the Big Man.’ ”
■Ewing’s official coming-out for
the New York Knicks was followed
by the selections of 6-foot-9 forward
Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma by
lidiana, 7-0 center Benoit Benjamin
of Creighton by the Los Angeles
Clippers, 6-7 forward Xavier McDa
niel of Wichita State by Seattle, 7-0
center Jon Koncak of SMU by At
lanta and 6-11 center Joe Kleine of
Arkansas by Sacramento.
■Finally, Golden State broke the
string of big men by taking the 6-6.
Mullin.
■Then five more inside players
|vert' taken before another back-
court player was picked.
They were 6-9 forward Detlef
Schrempf of Washington by Dallas,
6-9 forward Charles Oakley of Vir
ginia Union by Cleveland, 6-9 for
ward Ed Pinckney of Villanova by
Phoenix, 6-10 forward Keith Lee of
Memphis State by Chicago, 6-7 for
ward Kenny Green of Wake Forest
by Washington and 6-9 forward Karl
Malone of Louisiana Tech by Utah.
Then Hughes, known as an out
side gunner, went to San Antonio as
the 14th player, but only the second
guard, selected.
Lee was later traded by the Bulls,
along with guard Ennis Whatley, to
Cleveland for Oakley and Calvin
Duncan of Virginia Commonwealth,
a second-round pick of the Cava
liers.
Seven-foot center Blair Rasmus
sen of Oregon was taken 15th by
Denver, which wanted to replace the
retiring Dan Issel. Then the Maver
icks, frustrated for years in their at
tempts to get a top center, went for
two 7-footers — Bill Wennington of
St.John’s and Uwe Blab of Indiana
— with their own pick and one they
acquired in a trade with New Jersey.
Four of the six guards picked in
the first round were among the last
seven choices.

Former Texas A&M guard Kenny
Brown was chosen in the fifth round
of Tuesday’s NBA draft by the
Denver Nuggets.
Brown, the
112th selection
overall, came to
the Aggies in
1982 after serv
ing four years
in the U.S.
Army. In a
surprising turn of events last sea
son, Brown quit Coach Shelby Met
calfs squad just prior to the Aggies’
National Invitation Tournament
game with New Mexico in Albuquer
que.
The 6-foot-4 Brown was an excel
lent outside shooter for the Aggies
and acquired the nickname “Down
town” for his patented long range
jump shots. He had good leaping
ability and was considered a key
player in the Aggies’ attack.
Brown was a starter in the back-
court for Metcalf during his last sea
son at A&M, in which he gained All-
Southwest Conference honors and
was considered one of the top free-
throw shooters in the nation.
Brown, 25, played at Hamilton
High School in Memphis, Tenn.,
and played military basketball while
in the Army at Fort Huachucha,
Ariz.
Brown, in an interview with
KBTX-TV in Bryan Tuesday eve
ning, said he felt “pretty good”
about being drafted by the defend
ing Midwest Division champion
Nuggets and playing for one of the
more colorful coaches in the league,
Doug Moe.
“I did expect to be drafted a little
higher (Brown was a projected third
round pick),” Brown said, “ but I
can’t complain.”
With one year of college eligibility
left, Brown said he felt it was about
time to make the move to the pros.
“It was going to happen,” Brown
said. “It was either now or later.
“It was nice playing here (at
A&M). (A&M) gave me a chance to
play. That’s all you can ask from a
school.
“It’s just time to go on to bigger
and better things.”
