New Jersey Nets draft Rex Walters; Adonis Jordan joins Super Sonics
Two former Jayhawk guards and a former center were drafted by professional basketball teams during the summer.
Former Kansas guard Rex Walters became the 16th player selected in the June 30 National Basketball Association draft.
The New Jersey Nets, which suffered the loss of third-team All-NBA forward Drazen Petrovic, selected Walters as its first-round draft choice.
Walters, KU's most valuable player last season, said he had a good trip to New Jersey during the dreptraft camp tour. Walters quickly came to a contract agreement with the Nets. He signed a six-year deal worth $6.8 million.
"I had good vibes going in," Walters said. "And I'm going to work my tail off to make sure their decision was a good one."
Walters, a left-handed player, will join starting left-handers Kenny Anderson, a guard from Georgia Tech, and center Derrick Coleman from Syracuse.
New Jersey coach Chuck Daly said he preferred a left-handed guard who shoots well to a right-handed guard.
Also selected in the NBA draft was Walters' counterpart in the backcourt last season. Adenon Jordan.

Jordan was a second-round selection by the Seattle
Super Sonics, making the former KU guard the
42nd pick in the draft.
Jordan said he began to get nervous after the 30th pick had been made and he still had not heard bus
At 5-foot-10, Jordan's size is a question mark. However, he said it would not be a problem.
"They play an up-tempo game," Jordan said of his new team, "(Gary) Payton is a great defender, and I hope to learn from him. Size shouldn't bother me at all."
Jordan was also a second-round Continental Basketball Association draft selection. He was picked by the Rochester Renegade from Rochester, Minn.
Kansas' third senior from last year's team, center Eric Pauley, was drafted by the CBAs Fort Wayne Fury. The Fort Wayne, Ind., team picked Pauley in the sixth round of the draft.
ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT Frederick signs Kansas contract after interviewing with Michigan
Athletic Director Bob Frederick remains a Jay hawk. He will not become a Wolverine.
Frederick earlier this month signed a multi-year roll-over contract with Kansas that will take him through Spring 1996. A roll-over contract ensures that the contract will be renewed for three years.
Frederick interviewed for the athletic director's job at Michigan prior to signing the new contract.
Frederick has held one year appointments since he was hired in Spring 1987.
He said he had discussed a multi-year contract with Chancellor Gene Budig this spring prior to his dealings with the University of Michigan.
"The chancellor was the one to suggest a three-year contract." Frederick said.
Frederick's new contract is consistent with the continuing trend of college coaches signing multi-year deals. He said he was pleased with the job security of the contract.

Frederick was instrumental in hiring football coach Glen Mason, men's basketball coach Roy Williams and baseball coach Dave Bingham.
The basketball team has reached the NCAA Final Four twice in Williams' five years at Kansas. The football team made its first postseason bowl game appearance in 11 years at last year's Aloha Bowl, and the baseball team played in the College World Series last spring for the first time in Kansas history.
FOOTBALL
Parrott Athletic Center expansion offers more to Jayhawk players
Even though the new Parrott Athletic Center expansion project is not fully completed, it has become home to its first occupants—the Kansas football team.
Players and coaches returned this month to find their portion of the new complex completed. The new addition houses a new football locker room, a 152-seat auditorium, coaches meeting rooms, an equipment room and a new press conference facility.
The locker room has 106 solid oak sealed lockers located on the first floor. The first floor is the only portion currently occupied. The second story of the new facility is still under construction. It will house an enlarged sports medicine area and offices for the Jayhawk football staff and academic support personnel.
During twice-daily practices, Kansas football coach Glen Mason is calling the new coaches' locker facility home. This breaks with his tradition of staying in one of the residence halls during the extensive two week practice program.
Kansan staff writers Mark Button, Matt Doyle, Anne Feltet, Gerry Fey and Kent Holthoff compiled this report.
