NBA DRAFT
Continued from Page 14
which slimmed him down to 280
pounds, 45 pounds lighter than his
weight this winter.
Baston didn't get his draft news as
early as Traylor. In fact, Baston's name
might be an answer to a trivia question
some day, as he was the last person
selected Wednesday. The three-time
defending NBA champion Chicago
Bulls took Baston with the 58th pick
overall.
"He would have liked to be drafted
higher, but he was honored to be one of
the 58 players chosen," said Baston's
agent, Henry Thomas. "There were
lots of guys with great college careers
who didn't have their names called."
Baston, a 6-foot-9, 210 pounder,
considered a project by many NBA
scouts, is expected to play both small
forward and power forward. Baston is
currently competing in the Bulls'
draftee and free agent camp.
Baston "needs to work on his ball-
handling to have the opportunity to
play small forward and needs to get
stronger to be able to play power for-
ward," Thomas said. "He will be play-
ing in pro-am leagues in Chicago this

summer."
While Traylor and Baston have both
been drafted by the NBA, their debuts
in the league are clouded in doubt. The
NBA and the NBA Players Association
are currently without a labor contract,
and the league-will lock out the players
Wednesday if no agreement is reached.
With the last reported set of negotia-
tions lasting only 30 minutes, a lockout
seems to be inevitable, and the draftees
are prepared for it.
"It's very likely that there will be a
lockout;' Thomas said. "We will be
exploring many different options for
Maceo in the United States and over-
seas."
One Michigan frontcourt standout
who didn't hear his name called was
forward Jerod Ward. Ward, whose
breakout senior season looked to be
enough to get him drafted, suffered a
knee injury for the third time in four
years, scaring off potential NBA suit-
ors.
Ward "is just looking to get healthy,"
Ellerbe said. "His rehab is going well,
and when he gets healthy, he could
have a long-term opportunity (to play
in the NBA). However, we are just
looking to get Jerod healthy right
now."
