The Michigan Daily
NBA draft Grant-s
Clippers their wish
BY ADAM SCHRAGER
Former Michigan guard Gary
Grant was drafted with the 17th pick
in the first round by the Seattle
Supersonics in last week's National
Basketball Association draft. Just
after Grant had picked up his Seattle
cap though, his rights were traded to
the Los Angeles Clippers in a
complicated three-team deal.
Grant joins Kansas' Danny
Manning and Pittsburgh star Charles
Smith on the Clippers, the NBA's
worst team last season.
Grant leaves Michigan as the all-
time Wolverine leader in assists and
its second all-time scorer. He is not
expected to play for the Clippers Grant
until he has signed a contract.
