NBA Draft at a Glance

1. Orlando Chris Webber Michigan, F (6-9) Webber’s career as Shaq’s teammate lasts about half an hour. Anfernee Hardaway is a great fit here, too.

2. Philadelphia Shawn Bradley Brighan Young, C (7-6) Can this guy play after two years in Australia? Seven-Foot-Sixers need more than another Manute Bol.

3. Golden State Anfernee Hardaway Memphis State, G (6-7) It has been said that Don Nelson would sell his soul for a big man. Price turns out to be Hardaway and three No. 1 picks for Chris Webber.

4. Dallas Jamal Mashburn Kentucky, F (6-8) Somehow, Mavericks come away with an outstanding player. How will they mess it up between now and opening of the season?

5. Minnesota J.R. Rider UNLV, G (6-5) Timberwolves must have been watching Rider against Georgetown and in Final Four dunk contest. He can score--with authority.

6. Washington Calbert Cheaney Indiana, F (6-7) Almost everyone’s college player of the year will be paired with Tom Gugliotta on Bullets’ front line. A solid pick.

7. Sacramento Bobby Hurley Duke, G (6-0) The player you love to hate, but many were impressed by his practices against the Dream Team before Olympics. He towers over Spud Webb.

8. Milwaukee Vin Baker Hartford, F (6-11) A reach? ECAC player of year averaged 27.6 and 28.3 points in his last two seasons and led team in three-pointers as a junior.

9. Denver Rodney Rogers Wake Forest, F (6-7) Reportedly weighing as much as 265 pounds (most of it ego), he didn’t expect to fall this far when he declared early.

10. Detroit Lindsey Hunter Jackson State, G (6-2) Did Pistons do this to thwart Lakers? They have had good luck with guards from small schools before (see Dumars, Joe).

11. Detroit Allan Houston Tennessee, G (6-6) If Hunter-Houston backcourt can win as many NBA titles as Thomas-Dumars combo, Pistons will be thrilled.

12. Lakers George Lynch North Carolina, F (6-8) “You know what you’re getting with a North Carolina player,” Jerry West said. Looks like a fit for A.C. Green’s spot.

13. Clippers Terry Dehere Seton Hall, G (6-4) Made almost 40% of his three-point attempts on his way to becoming Big East’s leading scorer. But can he beat out Randy Woods?

14. Indiana Scott Haskin Oregon State, C (6-11) Who said the Pac-10 doesn’t produce any players? If Haskin pans out, Detlef Schrempf could be expendable.

15. Atlanta Doug Edwards Florida State, F (6-9) Big, fast and a shot-blocker, he had 16 double-doubles in 31 games as a senior. Averaged 17.8 points in four NCAA tournament games.

16. New Jersey Rex Walters Kansas, G (6-4) After teaming with Adonis Jordan in Jayhawks’ backcourt, this tough jump-shooter would seem to be a fine partner for Kenny Anderson.

17. Charlotte Greg Graham Indiana, G (6-4) It’s rare for one Bobby Knight player to make it in NBA, much less two in first round. But Graham should get a shot with Hornets.

18. Utah Luther Wright Seton Hall, C (7-2) Let’s see, a huge, immobile center . . . since the Jazz already had Mark Eaton, this seemed like the next best thing.

19. Boston Acie Earl Iowa, C (6-10) Projected by many to be a lottery pick, this could be a steal for the Celtics. Or maybe everyone else knows something.

20. Charlotte Scott Burrell Connecticut, F (6-7) Also a pitcher in Toronto’s minor league system, best known for his long pass to Tate George in NCAA tournament as a freshman.

21. Portland James Robinson Alabama, G (6-1) One analysis called him “weak defensively and tends to go one-on-one too often.” Not what you like in first-rounder.

22. Cleveland Chris Mills Arizona, F (6-6) Pac-10 player of the year is first pick in the Mike Fratello era. Former Fairfax standout started every college game in which he played.

23. Seattle Ervin Johnson New Orleans, C (6-11) He will never be confused with Magic, but the 25-year-old worked hard to get to this point.

24. Houston Sam Cassell Florida State, G (6-2) Isn’t this supposed to be a football school? Second first-rounder for Seminoles led ACC in steals.

25. Chicago Corie Blount Cincinnati, F (6-10) Monrovia product goes before more highly touted Bearcat teammate, Nick Van Exel. Blount, a center in college, will play forward.

26. Orlando Geert Hammink LSU, C (7-0) Of course! Why pair Shaquille O’Neal with Shawn Bradley when you can have the Shaq-Hammink Bayou Bengal twin towers?

27. Phoenix Malcolm Mackey Georgia Tech, F (6-11) Consistent scorer for Yellow Jackets, averaging 15.9, 15.8 and 15.6 points in his last three seasons.
