up the Seattle super sonics dont need another big if theres been any purpose to Seattle tribulations of the past year the unpopular trading of Gus the Upland Down play of too Many the in sufficient offensive spark its been to bolster the club the club has expended Money and play ers to get the big men it Felt it needed to be Jack the last remnant of the clubs 1979 is now under contract through 1990 at More than a million dollars per Tom part of a multiplayer Deal with san Diego two years is Seattle leading scorer this Tim the key player in the Williams is emerging As one of the leagues top Rookie big and Frank another is beginning to look like a valuable backup at yet theres a difference Between needs and Between necessity arid make no sonic coach Lenny Wil kens wants Patrick How can you pass up a great like thai Wolkens not expecting an an next month or two is whether Wilkens will get the Chance to draft the graduating Georgetown Center who has terrorized big East opponents with his Talent and in Tensity for the past four with Only a few games the sonics Are among the seven worst teams in the if things stay that Seattle will miss the playoffs and be thrown into the lottery in May in which the draft order will be determined for those seven that would give the sonics a Onei seven shot at whether it will be Wilkens making that pick is a different Wilkens con tract with the sonics expires in june and theres been speculation about his Job Secu Rity in sonic owner Barry a Seattle businessman who tends to Dodge questions about the will say Only that he re Mains a Lenny Wilkens Wilkens Doest particularly want to discuss his future i dont want to talk about he right now its not in it will be i dont think its anything you worry about or should be concerned you finish the season out and do the what Ever happens happens Wilkens admits its been a trying this season Marks Only the second time in the last eight years that Seattle will Post a losing a big component of the Wil kens is the difficulty of bringing to Gether so Many new players four two veterans in their first year at and three others in Only their second season with the it has not been an easy but at the same time we didst expect it would he in we knew that when you bring that Many new and that Many Young people especially in this it would be sometimes you have you would like the team to come together a lot but How realistic is that the brightest spot of the be Asp is the development of a 235pound Forward enter from Mccormick has taken Over the starting Power Forward spot from providing More inside strength Well As a surprising amount of Mccormick has averaged Points and rebounds per game in 21 games since taking Over As a has Given the sonics some much needed scoring in a sixth Man Wilkens said his top two priorities for the coming year Are a backup Forward and a backup but if the sonics get the 1 pick in the those priorities will be Backburn ered in favor of with his size and Ewing could be a franchise maker in the Mold of Bill rus Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul its tougher today to be a franchise said but i certainly feel Hes in that Here is a Young Man who has tremendous athletic he blocks shots and keeps them in if he Doest Block them to a he blocks them so he can get them and they can get the Ball out and get Down the he can score its just that Hes used to having three Guys around him All the time because of zone youre also talking about the and re i dont think theres any question but that this Guys going to have a helluva Impact on whatever team he goes and what would Wilkens do with All his big inside players if Seattle gets him id like to have that he
