REX CHAPMAN
Drafting {earn: Charlotte Hornets Round taken: 1st (8th pick, overall) Projected position: off guard
Chapman's reaction: "I haven't talked to anybody in Charlotte yet, but I understand it's a great and growing city."
"I'm starting to get comfortable with (my decision to go to NBA early). I'm glad I did it."
"I think I can play with them. I don't know if I can be a superstar for them from the beginning, but hopefully someday I can be."
ROB LOCK
Drafting team: Los Angeles Clippers Round taken: 3rd (51st pick, overall) Projected position: center
Lock's reaction: "I feel good, real good. A lot of people have said I shouldn't have even played at Kentucky. Now, to be drafted.. .it's kind of ironic. Satisfying. That made it all that much better."
"I was surprised. You always hear the one thing you can't coach is size. I'm more blessed with size. (Davender and Bennett) are more gifted in skills for the game."
"Usually, big people mature later. I haven't reached my peak. I'm definitely not through improving. That's probably why I went so high."
ED DAVENDER
Drafting team: Washington Bulletts
Round taken: 3rd (60th pick, overall)
Projected position: point guard
Davender's reaction: "I prepared myself for anything. I didn't want to get my hopes up. I wanted to be able to roll with the punches."
"There's nothing I can do about (the fact that only 13 percent of third-round selections go on to have NBA careers). I know I can't chase a dream all my life."
Bullet assistant Bill Blair, on Davender: "We're sort of open at (the point position). So he's got a chance. It wasn't a throw-away pick at all."
WINSTON BENNETT
Drafting team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Round taken: 3rd (64th pick, overall)
Projected position: small forward
Bennett's reaction: "I was very disappointed I didn't go any higher. I thought I played well in Chicago (at an NBA camp). I thought that helped me a lot."
"(My agent, Norman Blass) will fill me in on what the Cavs expect of me and what I should be working on this summer."
"It seems I've been trying to prove myself since I've been playing basketball. I guess I'll have to do that again."
