Steve Downing, the No 1 draft choice for the Boston Celtics, signed a multi year contract and said he will model his game after Bill Russell. The Indiana University center forward, 6 foot 8, averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds last season and was MVP of the Mideast Regional NCAA team. Red Auerbach expects him to play substantial minutes next season. Downing has trimmed to 222 pounds and aims to improve conditioning for the Celtics pace.
