The Mavericks, who will begin play next season, picked one player from each of the 22 existing NBA teams, who were allowed to protect eight men on their roster. FOR THE most part, the Mavericks by passed the better-known players who were available, choosing instead to go with younger, less experienced players who may develop into front-line pros. Besides Carr and Washington, other players chosen by the Mavericks in- cluded: Jack Givens, Atlanta; Jeff Judkins, Boston; De lmer Beshore, Chicago; Arvid Kramer, Denver; Terry Duerod, Detroit; Ray Townsend, Golden State; Alonzo Bradley, Houston; Joe Hassett, Indiana; Billy McKinney, Kansas City, and Marty Byrnes, Los Angeles. Also, Winford Boynes, New Jersey; Geoff Huston, New York; Jim Spanarkel, Philadelphia; Mike Bratz, Phoenix; Abdul Jeelani, Portland; Wiley Peck, San Antonio; Bingo Smith, San Diego; Tom LaGarde, Seattle; Jerome Whitehead, Utah, and Jim Cleamons, Washington. PERHAPS THE key player chosen by Dallas was LaGarde, a 6-10, three- year veteran plucked from the Seattle. SuperSonics. He was averaging 11.0 points per game as Seattle's starting center before suffering a knee injury 23 games into the 1979 season. Last year he was a reserve behind Jack Sikma, averaging 4.7 points in 14.2 minutes per game. The only free agents selected were Judkins, Cleamons and Bradley, since if Dallas drafts a free agent and can't sign him, it would not be entitled to compensation. The selections were announced on the first day of the annual summer meetings of NBA coaches and general managers. On Thursday, the league will announce its Most Valuable Player for the 1970-80 season, as well as its Rookie, Coach and Executive 'of the Year.

Catcher Gerry Hool, named Saturday as the Most Valuable Player in the Mideast regional tournament, received the team's MVP award for the season. Hool hit .335 for the Blue and drove in 39 runs over the year, including five game-winning hits in Big Ten play. Hool also collected the co-captain award, as did senior George Foussianes. Foussianes, whose batting average over the 51-game campaign was .373 with 41 runs-batted-in, picked up the award as the club's leading hit- ter, as well. Freshman second baseman Jeff Jacobson nabbed the Golden Glove Award as Michigan's outstanding fielder, and his double play mate, freshman shortstop Tony Evans, won the trophy representing, in Coach Bud Middaugh's words, "the man who made it all mesh together."

Middaugh had words of praise for his club. "I think this team typifies life. Nothing comes easy. You've gotta work for it. I don't think I've ever had a club give me more than this club's given me. I don't care what happens from here on." Foussianes spoke for the players. "We've comea long way and had a very successful season, but it wasn't an easy road." He went on to describe an especially trying incident. "It was after an intra- squad game in the fall .. .I can't remember exactly what he (Middaugh) said . . . he used a few choice adjec- tives ... but the main thing he said was that we were the worst baseball team that he ever saw. And we kinda took that toheart." Tomorrow the worst team that Bud Middaugh ever saw in the fall flies to Omaha with a chance to be the best
