A a in la have to get used to the Altitude a said Jackson who joins 5-11 Michael Adams in Denver a backcourt. A i think this season. The other picks were acquired in trades with Dallas and Utah. The Mavericks sent the 14th and 18th picks to the Kings in a Deal that brought Rodney Mccray to Dallas a there is no one happier right now than i am a Kimble said. A a it a a Young team up and coming and its a pc rect situation for Willie Burton a 6-7 Forward in College was grabbed by Miami which acquired the ninth and 15th picks from Denver in Exchange for the no. 3 selection.

O Imro ctr Nna no Vic jage24 Sacramento apr the Sacramento Kings picked up scoring potential defense and muscle and then pronounced themselves satisfied with their record setting four first round picks in the Aba draft. A a we re not talking Michael Jordan but we feel very comfortable with them a Kings director of player personnel Jerry Reynolds said i would be surprised if All four Arentt m the Aba six or seven years from the Kings chose la Salle Forward Lionel Simmons a the third leading scorer a Mcaa history a with the seventh pick then added Texas guard Travis Mays 14thtemple Center Duane causal 18th and St. Louis Forward Anthony Bonner 23rd. The Choice of Simmons brought cheers irom about 400 fans who watched the draft on big screen to at Arco Arena. A a obviously he a a great player a Reynolds said. A we Felt he was clearly the Quality Small Forward in the country this year. I think he has the Complete game a clearly rebounding scoring but he can handle the Ball. He san Aba three Man right Simmons who is 6-8 and weighs 210 pounds averaged 24.6 Points at la Salle scoring 3,217 Points in his four year College career. Mays the 14th pick also gives the Kings scoring punch. He averaged 18. Points at Texas and is the All time leading scorer in Southwest conference history with 2,279 Points. Reynolds raved about the 6-2 Mays defensive skills calling Imp re the Best defensive guard m the country right the 7-foot Causwell gives the Kings much needed strength at Center s weak snot for the club in recent years. He aver Aeed 11.3 Points 8.3 rebounds and four blocked shots per game 1ast year in games at Temple before being declared academically ineligible. Reynolds said Bonner at 6-8 and pounds also gives the Kings additional muscle. A a he a a very Strong physical player a Reynolds said. Bonner led the Mcaa in rebounding last season averaging 13.8. The Kings Are the first team to have four first round picks. Sacramento added three first round picks through a complicated series of pre draft trades that sent Forward Rodney Mccray to Dallas and Center Forward Pervis Ellison last year s no. 1 draft Choice to Washington. In addition to the draft picks Sacramento got guard Bobby Hansen and centers Eric Leckner and Bill Wennington. Reynolds said the addition of so Many new players puts the team in a rebuilding phase and creates problems but he said coach Dick Motta is prepared to handle them. A it would be very difficult for Dick a Reynolds said. A the thing that a Good is he a so experienced and has been through this before. He Felt he would like the la Sallets Lionel Simmons going West. Third All time scorer in Mcaa
