Page 6/The Battalion/Wednesday, June 18, 1986 Sports Surprises abound in NBA draft Cleveland picks Daughter/ No. 1 during trade-filled day NEW YORK (AP) — North Caro lina’s Brad Daughtery went No. 1, as expected, but to Cleveland instead of Philadelphia in an NBA draft marked by blockbuster trades and surprising choices Tuesday. The Cavaliers got Philly’s No. 1 pick in a last-minute trade Monday night, while the 76ers also sent for mer three-time Most Valuable Player center Moses Malone and for ward Terry Catledge to the Wash ington Bullets for center Jeff Ruland and forward Cliff Robinson. The trading continued even after the first round, which included the Indiana Pacers’ puzzling decision to bypass 7-foot center William Bed ford of Memphis State for 6-8 for ward Chuck Person of Auburn. The Los Angeles Lakers traded guard Mike McGee and their first- round pick, Notre Dame forward Ken Barlow, to Atlanta for the Hawks’ top two choices, versatile Louisville forward Billy Thompson and Kansas swingman Ron Kellogg. The 7-foot Daugherty went from being a prospective teammate of long-time idol Julius Erving and Charles Barkley to a likely teammate of Mel Turpin and World B. Free. The 76ers, who won the top pick in the draft lottery on May 11, traded it to Cleveland just 30 min utes before Monday’s midnight trad ing embargo in exchange for for ward Roy Hinson and future considerations. “Philadelphia would have been a good opportunity, but Cleveland’s also going to be a good opportu nity,” Daugherty said after being made the second No. 1 pick in Cava liers’ history. “I know they are a pro gram rebuilding. Hopefully, I can lend a solid talent to the program and help them. “I feel very good about going to Cleveland.” The late-night deal for the No. 1 pick was not announced until Tues day morning. The Cavaliers, who selected Notre Dame’s Austin Carr first in 1971, also got Ron Harper of Miami, Ohio, with the eighth pick. Harper was the first of seven guards selected in the first round. Harper had been widely projected as the No. 6 choice by Phoenix, but a surprising selection by Indiana scrambled the early picks. After the NBA champion Boston Celtics took Maryland forward Len Bias No. 2 and Golden State fol lowed with 6-11 center-forward Chris Washburn of North Carolina State, the Pacers sent several teams scrambling to their telephones by taking Person of Auburn. Would the New York Knicks, ex pected to get Person, go for a Twin Towers lineup by taking Bedford to team with Patrick Ewing? After several minutes, the Knicks stuck with their plan to take a for ward in the first round by going with Kentucky’s Kenny Walker, a 6-8 for ward. Phoenix, however, couldn’t resist the opportunity for a top big man and opted for Bedford over Harper. Dallas then took 6-11 Roy Tarpley of Michigan before Cleveland grabbed Harper. The biggest shocker of the first round didn’t come until the 24th and final pick, however. The Port land Trail Blazers, who took college player of the year Walter Berry with the 14th pick, took Arvidas Sabonis of the Soviet Union 10 picks later. Sabonis, a 7-footer, is considered by many to be the best non-Ameri can basketball player, but his avail ability is suspect. He was drafted in a late round by Atlanta a year ago and See NBA Draft, page 7 Ag center Gilbert picked in 5th round By Tom Tagliabue Sports Writer Texas A&rM 6-foot-9 center Jim mie Gilbert, who helped lead the Ag gies to their first Southwest Confer ence championship since 1980, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Chi cago Bulls Tuesday in the National Basketball Association draft. Gilbert, a Huntsville native, will try to become the first Aggie to earn a spot on an NBA squad since 1977 when Sonny Parker made the Golden State Warriors. The four-year letterman im proved tremendously from 1985 where he only averaged 5.6 points and 5.3 rebounds a game. In his se- ipaign, Gilbert scored 12 d 7.2 rc mor cam points an rebounds a game. He also started every game for the Ag gies in the past three seasons. Gilbert, a captain for the 1984 squad, is primarily known as a de fensive center, with 145 blocked shots during his four years at A&M. Gilbert said he had not talked with anyone from the Bulls, but hopes Chicago and new head coach Doug Collins will give him a chance to im prove. “I just wanted to go where I wouldn’t have too long of a wait,” Gilbert said. “I wanted an opportu nity to have a base to work with.” Gilbert will compete for a roster spot on a team which has been looking for a center since Artis Gil more was traded three seasons ago. Veteran Dave Corzine and first- round draft choice Brad Sellers, a 7- footer from Ohio State, are the fa vorites to fill the center positions on the 12-man roster. If his hopes in the NBA don’t pan out, Gilbert said the European leagues, the Continental Basketball Association and the Amateur Ath letic Union are other options. “I’d just like to save that (option) in case (the NBA) doesn’t work out,” Gilbert said. Last summer Gilbert told The Battalion, “The biggest thing to get ting a chance in the pros is that you’ve got to come from a winning program. “The second biggest thing is that you specialize in some aspect of the game, whether it’s shooting, re- A&M’s Jimmie Gilbert bounding, passing, blocking shots or defense and be consistent in every thing else.” Texas NBA teams Mavericks draft for inside powi HOLST -star cen day b) livisior |ts, sal* DALLAS (AP) — Failing to swing a deal by using star scorer Mark Aguirre as trade bait, the Dallas Mavericks drafted 6-foot- 11 power-forward Roy Tarpley of Michigan on Tuesday to shore up their inside strength. Personnel Director Rick Sund said, “I’m sorry there is no trade announcement. There have been a lot of rumors floating around with no validity.” The hottest trade rumor at the Mavericks’ NBA draft central was an Aguirre-Tarpley trade to the Los Angeles Lakers for Janies Worthy and either Michael per or Byron Scott. “1 won’t guarantee thai II beta' ingst e 76e Malone Tarpley will Be here to | season,” Sund said. “YourtK £]jff know in this business.” L ann ou Sund said the Mavericki jrtpf the excited to have the 240-f “-phe c o; Tarpley who averaged alrai g b a( p f points, 9 rebounds, and 3bk'j] 0 , iej a t sla.is pci game.
