Hes a great athlete, Celtics coach Chns Ford said. He can contribute right away. Boston had no second-round pick in the two- round draft. It traded that to New Jersey before the 1989-90 season for guard John Bagley.

Ill fmd a way to make it happen, Fox said. Defense is my strongest suit right now." MICHIGAN MANIA: Michigan high school basketball contmuesd to be showcased in the draft. Michigan proved to be the prime selection state, with five players drafted four in the first round. Since 1979, 21 players from Michigan high schools have been drafted in the first round Three of the Michigan first-rounders in the 1991 draft Steve Smith, Doug Smith and Mark Macon were selected in the top eight. Victor Alexander, the other first-rounder, was the 17th pick and Marcus Kennedy was No.

54. the final player drafted. Steve Smith went to Miami; Doug Smith to Dallas; Macon to Denver; Alexander to Golden State; and Kennedy to Portland. HOOSIER HYSTERIA: Besides Fox, two players with Indiana basketball connections Purdue star Jimmy Oliver and Texas guard Joey Wnght were also selected. In the second round, Cleveland made Oliver the 39th pick overall.

Obver averaged 19.2 points as a senior for the Boilermakers. Phoenix took former Hammond Gavit guard Wnght with the 23rd pick, the 50th overall. Wright was the third-leading scorer in Texas history with 1,819 points three seasons. He started his college career at Drake and left after one year. II3A DRAFT me Walsh, Indiana's general manager and president We wanted to get a tough, mean, rebound-ing-type player and also a shot-blocker hes a Buck Williams-type player which we feel is exactly the kind of player that we need on our team." Davis, 6-10 and 233 pounds, was the leading rebounder in the Atlantic Coast Conference the past three years.

The Pacers also picked 6-5 guard Sean Green of Iona. PISTONS PICKS: Detroit went out shopping for a wide body but came home with a compact model instead. Unable to get the big man they wanted, Detroit settled for La Salle guard Doug Overton. It was a reasonable pick for the 40th pick," Pistons general manager Jack McCloskey said. At 6-3, 190 pounds, Overton was La Salles all-time leader in assists "671 and steals (277).

The Pistons didnt expect much; they had traded away their first-round pick in the deal that brought Mark Aguirre from the Dallas Mavericks 2 years ago. 1FOX A CELTIC: Boston also had just one pick. The suspense built as other teams chose. After nearly 2 hours, the Celtics finally made their selection. Rick Fox.

A native of the Bahamas, Fox played two seasons at Warsaw High School and was selected an Indiana all-star although the Indiana High School Athletic Association declared him ineligible as a senior. A 6-foot-7 small forward from North Carolina, Fox is an accomplished and well-known player. Chicago chose a power forward to augment its front line players, Indiana went for rebounding help, Detroit took a guard and former Warsaw High star Rick Fox became a Celtic. The analysis of this NBA draft will have to wait, as usual, until the participants are veterans of two or three NBA seasons. But, at first glance, all the above teams seemed satisfied they had done the best they could in the two-round draft Wednesday night.

The Bulls tapped Mark Randall, the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from Kansas. Were not used to picking 26th," said general manager Jerry Krause. But hell take it because that position reflected the Bulls NBA championship finish. We dont expect him to come here and tear the world apart, Krause said. Randall was a center at Kansas but projects as a forward in the NBA.

Versatility was one of the key factors in the selection, Krause said. Hes more of a power forward in our thinking." Randall, in a telephone interview from his parents home outside Denver, said he was looking forward to joining the Bulls. People already have asked me if I was disappointed, Randall said. Im not. I'm going to a winning organization that is established.

I know it will be tough for a rookie. I expect that. There will be ups and downs. But that's the way to learn. Obviously, not too many players get an opportunity to jom a championship team," Randall said.

I definitely feel fortunate in being chosen by the Bulls. PACERS PICKS: Indiana isnt looking for scoring from Clemsons Dale Davis, their No. 1 pick. We gbt the player we wanted, said Don- Valrie off for a fling at football By FORREST MILLER Tribune Sports Writer SOUTH BEND Kerry Valrie says goodbye to South Bend tonight. No one, including Valrie, knows whether the departure will be permanent.

Its something Ive got to get out of my system, says the South Bend White Sox centerfielder; as he reports to the Detroit Lions rookie camp this weekend. No, Valne does not envision himself as the next Bo Jackson. The fact he was not drafted by the Na- I3IDWEST LEAGUE NOTEBOOK tional Football League attests to that. But Valrie was impressive enough at a Detroit tryout camp to convince the Lions they wanted to see more. And see more is what the Lions plan to do in the next few days.

Valrie, 20, was an outstanding running back at the University of Southern Mississippi. After hitting .188 at Utica last season, hes hitting .232 with the South Bend Sox. He leads the team in home runs with six and in stolen bases with 23 in 28 attempts. He also has 10 doubles and a tnple. He is considered a decent outfielder with good range.

Ive got no timetable, says Valrie. I don't want to give up pro baseball, I just want to see what I can do. Sox manager Tommy Thompson understands. If football doesn't work out, hell be happy to have Valrie back. If he gets cut, I hope he doesnt get hurt and gets back here quickly, says Thompson.

Hes got a chance to play professionally in two sports and I can understand how he feels. He couldnt live with himself if he didn't take this NDA DRAFT BY ROUNDS KERRY VALRIE Football camp next How many people even get a chance like this? Valrie is grateful the White Sox organization isnt trying to block his opportunity. I knew that if I had the opportunity, theyd let me do it, said Valrie. I know they want me to get it out of my system. But I dont intend to make baseball a secondary thing in my life.

If I get cut, then I hope I can come back here. Im just taking it day-by-day. My family supports my decision, theyve left everything pretty much up to me.
