NEW YORK (AP) — Yao
Ming of China, a 7-foot-5 cen
ter who gained clearance from
his national federation to play
in the NBA only hours earlier,
was selected first overall by the
Houston Rockets in the draft
Wednesday night.
It marked the first time a
foreign player who did not play
in college in the United States
went No. 1 in the draft.
The choice was expected,
although the
Rockets went
through a few
nervous days
leading up to
the draft while
they waited to
learn whether
Yao would
receive clear
ance from his
national team. Yao had earlier
reached a severance agreement
with his professional team, the
Shanghai Sharks.
The Chinese federation was
concerned about Yao’s avail
ability for national team com
mitments, but an agreement
was reached earlier Wednesday.
Yao did not attend the draft at
Madison Square Garden. He
was in Beijing for training with
his national team for an upcom
ing four-nation tournament.
Yao shared high-fives and
handshakes with his family as
commissioner David Stern
announced the pick.

ed this so badly. I just felt that it
would all be worked out,”
Houston general manager
Carroll Dawson said.
Jay Williams, a junior guard
from Duke who was the national
player of the year, went second to
the Chicago Bulls. Williams gave
hugs rather than handshakes to
his family before donning a Bulls
cap and walking onstage.
This marked the second
straight year the Bulls got the
second overall pick. A year ago,
they acquired teen-ager Tyson
Chandler from the Los Angeles
Clippers for Elton Brand in a
major draft-night deal.
This year’s draft had no
shortage of trade talk, either,
with several teams trying to
move into the top 10 or acquire
one the veterans — including
Antonio McDyess, Andre
Miller and Baron Davis —
whose names had been promi
nently mentioned in trade
rumors throughout the day.
Mike Dunleavy of Duke
went third to the Golden State
Warriors, learning of his selec
tion as he sat stage left with his
father, former NBA player and
coach Mike Dunleavy.
The draft was expected to
start getting interesting begin
ning with the fourth pick, with
newly hired Memphis Grizzlies
president Jerry West set to
make his first personnel move
for a team other than the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Other team executives said
West had been working feverish
ly for the past several days trying
to line up a series of moves.
West chose Drew Gooden of
Kansas, a 6-foot-10 junior
power forward and first-team
All-America selection. The Big
12 Player of the Year, who aver
aged 19.9 points last season,
would join a Grizzlies front-
court that already includes
Shane Battier and Rookie of the
Year Pau Gasol,
Denver, choosing fifth on a
day when McDyess trade
rumors were rampant, chose
center Nikoloz Tskitishvili of
Benetton Treviso in Italy.
The 19-year-old Tskitishvili
was the first teen-ager selected.
A year ago, high school seniors
comprised four of the first eight
picks.
There was only one high
school senior expected to be
drafted in this year’s first
round, but it also seemed likely
that only a handful of college
seniors would be among the
first 28 picks.
Dajuan Wagner of Memphis
went sixth to the Cleveland
Cavaliers, a clear signal that the
trade talk surrounding Miller
— the NBA assists leader last
season — was legitimate.
Cleveland has told Miller it
does not want to offer him a
contract extension for another
year, and several teams have
been contacting the Cavs to
make offers — most notably
the Los Angeles Clippers.
