MEL JONES
Denver Rockets of ABA Signs
Mel Jones, 14th Draft Choice
ALBANY, Ga.—"He could be
the Bill Russell of the ABA."
That's the way the Denver
Rockets' coach, Bob Bass, de
scribed the Rockets' latest
signee, Mel Jones, a 0-9 front
liner who led Albany (Ga.)
State College to a 57-14 record
over the last two seasons.
Jones hauled down 920 re
bounds in 40 games during the
past season for a 23.0 rebound
average to rank seventh in thte
nation among collegelate per
formers. The McGehee, Ark.
native was the Rockets' 14tb
draft selection. He was also
the Bth draft choice of the NBA
Philadelphia 76ers.
In four vsrsity seasons, JotiW
gathered in 2,061 errant rfiots
for a fine pre-game average of
17.7, bearing oat Robert
Rainey's, his college mentor,
words that "he goes to the
boards like he owns them."

Bass, the Rockets' coach,
spotted Jones two years ago in
Kansas City when the then-jun
ior led his Albany State "run
ning, gunning" Rams into the
famed small-college tourney.
Rockets' General Manager Dick
Eicher scouted Jones in the
same tourney this past March
and was equally impressed.
"Our club was ninth in The
League (ABA) in rebounding
last year," Bass said, "but a
strong youngster like Mel Jones
could revesse our standing in
this vital department." Witness
to Bass' words is the fact that
as a Junior, Jones blocked 8#
shots in 31 games.
