Magic looking at Bradley, Webber in draft
ORLANDO. KIb (AP) — A
personal interview, physical
examination anti stack of 2-year
old game films will have to do
for thi> Orlando Magic's predraft
evaluation of BYlJ's Shawn
Bradley.
The team finished a series of
meetings with prospective No 1
picks on Wednesday by talking
at length with the 7-foot-B t enter
who has spent the last two years
on a church mission in Aus
tralia.
Michigan's Chris Webber.
Kentucky's Jamal Mashbum and
Memphis State's Anfemue Hard
away worked out for the Magic
in recent weeks, but Bradley
declined
"Myself, my agent and my
family feel the lies! situntion for
me is to just go interview."
Bradley said.
"If I was to go and piny in the
condition I'm in now. what
would I gain? I wouldn't be able
to show what kind of basketball
player I am in the kind of shape
I'm in."
The Magic has the first pick in
th« draft and reportedly is lean
ing toward selec ting the fi-9
Webber because the team
already has Shaquille O'Neal at
center. The Philadelphin 76ers
have the so< ond pick and have
said they'll take Bradley, if he's
available.
The BYU star averaged 14 H
points. 7.7 rebounds and 5.2
bhx ked shots a game m his only
college season. He said he
learned a lot during his slay in
Australia but only played has
ketball on»» a week
"I definitely understand the
situation coaches, owners and
administrators are in." Bradley
said
"Hum’ll o guy with a fairly
successful freshman year who
lakes two yeans off. then t omes
back and he's trying lo play in
the NHA If 1 was in their posi
tion. I'd he asking the same
questions But I know what I tan
do and 1 know what 1 want to
become.
“1 know the skills are there.
It s just going to tak.fi some time
to oil them up and get the rust
out."
While the Magic isn't thrilled
that Bradley de< lined to work
out. player personnel director
John Gabriel apparently has
seen enough film to conclude
that Bradley has the skills to
liecome a star at either center or
power forward
"I wuuki not be afraid to pick
him No. 1." C»obriel said
"He's a big man with some of
the skills of a small forward. Of
course, he's not going to play
small forward, but he can do a
lot of different things — shoot,
put the ball on the floor. His
defensive mindset is to try to
block every shot With him and
Shaquille. we'd have a chance to
do some things, defensively,
that haven't been done before."
Williams appeared less enthu
siastic about the prosper! of
forming a twin towers of
Jlra •’■•v and O'Neal. However,
he- is sold on the 21-year-old
center's talent.
“I wouldn't mv he'd be a gam
ble for u*. or anybody else. He
will play in the leaguo. The
question is how good he will
become." the general manager
said
"There's never been a case
like this in NBA history where
a player will go this high with
such an incomplete piece of
information." Williams added.
"Were in uncharted waters
There has never been a player of
these proportions with basket
ball ability."
Bradley. who once finished
third in a 3-point shooting con
test during a high school All
American game, is anxious to
get started And, it wouldn't sur
prise him if he goes to work in
Orlando.
"I understand the concept that
you an teach skills, but you
can't teach height," Bradley
said "I realize a lot of this is
about my height, but that's fine.
I don't think the Magic would
have brought me here if they
weren't interested."
