NBA draft
Mavs grab 'poor man's Larry Bird

DALLAS — The Dallas Maver
icks picked Washington’s Detlef
Schrempf, a “poor man’s Larry
Bird,” and then set out to cure
their center ills by taking a pair of
7-footers in the NBA draft Tues
day.
Dallas used two of its three
First-round draft choices for Bill
Wennington of St. John’s and
Uwe Blab of Indiana in a move
Coach Dick Motta said should
give the team the NBA-caliber
center it has craved.
“If one touches and succeeds
and carries his position, we can
surround him now with quality
players,” Motta said. “If one of
these two fellows can hit, we’re
going to have a very nice team.”
Depite the longing for a center,
which dates back to the fran
chise’s founding five years ago,
Motta said the 6-foot-9 Schrempf
was too good to pass up with the
eighth pick of the draft.
“Schrempf is the only player
we did not interview, which is typ
ical,” Motta said. “We didn’t think
he’d be there.”
One attraction of both
Schrempf and Blab, both natives
of West Germany, is that they be
gan their basketball careers late
and are likely to have more room
for improvement than U.S.-bred
athletes.

“They’re on the upside of their
potential,” he said. “(SchrempO
has a flair for the game. He’s a
natural.”
Schrempf has been called “the
poor man’s Larry Bird” because
of his versatility, passing and
scoring ability. Scouts say he can
play either forward or guard in
the NBA.
“I’m very excited,” Schrempf
said by telephone from New
York. “Dallas already has some
small forwards and big guards,
and I guess I’ll just fill in where
they have some needs. I just hope
I can contribute.”
Motta said Schrempf, teamed
with Mark Aguirre, Sam Perkins
and Rolando Blackman, will give
the Mavericks four players ol all-
star caliber.
“I really believe that if things
work out as they should, we’ll
have four,” Motta said.
The missing piece of the puz
zle, then, is at center.

“I feel that I’m capable ol
doing that." he said. “It doesn't
bother me (going to acityhunjn
for an effective center). 1 likeiti
lot more than going into a team
where I'd have to sit on the bend,
a long time.”
Competing with Blab will itn
prove both, he said.
“Dallas doesn't have big men
right now and I knew that tliej
wanted to fill that void. 1 think it
was good (to draft both). It's
going to he great. In practice,
when two big men play againsi
each other, they can only improve
and make each other better....
"With Detlef, we’re reallj
going to make our presence felt
in the NBA and help Dallascome
a long way.”
Schrempf averaged 15.8 points
per game his senior year at Wash'
ington, with a shooting percent
age of .558. In three NCAAplav
off games, he averaged 23.1
points per game and 8.7 re
bounds, and in Olympic competi
tion with the West German team,
he averaged 18.8 points and 8 re
bounds per game.
He was the only Pac-lOplaver
to rank in the top 10 in fourdif-
ferent categories — scoring, re
bounding, assists and field goal
percentage.

Rockets go for guards with picks,
take Tulsa star to fuel backcourt
Associated Press
HOUSTON — The Houston
Rockets, looking to beef up their
backcourt to complement the
“Twin Tower” offense of Ralph
Sampson and Akeem Olajuwon,
took Tulsa guard Steve Harris as
their first choice in Tuesday’s
NBA college draft.
Harris, a 6 - f o o t - 5, 195-
pounder from Blue Springs, Mo.,
finished his four years at Tulsa as
the school’s all-time leading
scorer with 2,272 points.
“I’m very happy, very excited
about getting the opportunity to
play,” Harris said. “I didn’t have
any idea where I would be
g° in g-”
Harris was the 19th player se
lected in the draft, a somewhat
uncustomary position for the
Rockets, who have had the first
choice overall in each of the past
two college player drafts.
Two years ago, they picked
Sampson out of the University of
Virginia, along with Louisville
forward Rodney McCray, an
other early first-round pick. Last
year, it was Olajuwon, from the
University of Houston, who
topped the NBA draft order.
Rockets General Manager Ray
Patterson said Harris was the
man he was after this year.
“He’s a terrific player, a good
shooter,” Patterson said.
Harris said he had never been
to Houston and never played
against any of the Rocket players
in their collegiate days. He said,
however, that he was familiar
with the team.
Harris, who carries the nick
name “Silk” because of his
smooth play, also is a strong de
fensive player, winding up his
college career as Tulsa’s all-time
leader in steals with 271.
He had a rough start at Tulsa,
breaking his jaw in his first exhi
bition game as a freshman, then
breaking his nose a week later.
But he still scored 311 points in
his first year, a school record for
freshmen. He also set a school re
cord for points by a sophomore,
574, and broke the all-time school
record as a junior.
His 23.6 points per game this
past season was second in the Mis
souri Valley Conference to Wi
chita State’s Xavier McDaniel,
Seattle’s first-round choice and
the fourth player picked overall
The Rockets, who had no sec
ond round pick, also announced
Tuesday the signing of four-year
University of Houston starter Mi
chael Young, who was the Boston
Celtics’ top draft choice last year.
Patterson said the Rockets and
Young had agreed on a two-year
pact. Young was cut by the Celtics
and played most of last season

SAN ANTONIO — The San
Antonio Spurs on Tuesday drew
a name out of the NBA draft hat
no one expected — small forward
Alfredrick Hughes of Loyola.
The Spurs, who finished 41-41
last season, picked up the 6-5
Hughes at the No. 14 spot in the
first round of the NBA draft.
The choice was set up after the
Spurs made a last minute Gene
Banks trade to Chicago for 6-10
forward Steve Johnson and the
No. 29 choice overall in the draft.
The Spurs drew Mike Brittain,
a 7-0 center from South Carolina,
at No. 29, then selected forward
Tyrone Corbin, 6-6, of DePaul at
the No. 35 draft position in the
second round.
Hughes, the second best scorer
in the NCAA his senior year,
“scores in bunches. He’s a proven
scorer,” said Spurs coach Cotton
Fitzsimmons.
“He could come off the bench
and score for you. He plays very
physical and does get his share of
rebounds,” Fitzsimmons said.
Hughes, in a conference call to
reporters at Spurs headquarters,
said he was “very surprised” the
SAIM AIMTOIMIO
Spurs picked him.
“They’re going to need some
scoring out of me,” he said. “I
want to be in a situation where I
can help out on the team.”
Hugh es, said Spurs General
Manager Bob Bass, “could give us
that big time score. He’s got a
hull-type body like Calvin Natt
(Denver Nuggets).”
The Spurs scouted Hughes at
the Aloha Classic for first-round
draft possibilities.
“We got high on him but we
dropped off until we got Steve
Johnson,” Bass said.
Hughes, who had been playing
at guard at Loyola, averaged 24.3
E oints per game and 8.2 re-
ounds.
He will be playing at small for
ward if he makes the team, Bass
said.
Johnson, who Bass called an
adequate scorer and rebounder.
was on Fitzsimmons’ team at Kaiv
sas City before he was traded to
Chicago last year. The Kings
drafted him at No. 7 in the firsi
round of the 1981 draft.
He averaged 10 points, a game
and almost six rebounds last sea
son with the Bulls.
“Our size up front has com
pletely changed,” Bass said, add
ing that more changes would I*
made on the team in the future.
Bass praised Banks, who aver
aged 9.5 points per game and 5.1
rebounds.
“He was a vital part of outrun
ning game and probably one of
the best offensive rebounders in
franchise history,” he said.
Bass describecJ Brittain as tilt
best shot blocker at the AI0I12
Classic.
“He’s a project. But he’sagm
we can come in with and build
around,” he said.
Bass scotched speculation tli(
Spurs drafted Hughes to set up
another trade.
“We have no interest in trading
Hughes,” he said. “We’ve taken
the approach we’re not going to
let anyone take our players.”
