Schayes Hopes To Be
Center Of Attention

orget for a moment
computer-derived
statistics such as the
points a player creates for
his team.
Center Dan Schayes
employs a simple yardstick
for success in the National
Basketball Association: to be
"the guy who gets yelled
about" by the opposing
team's coach.
The sole Jewish player in
the NBA came to the
Milwaukee Bucks Aug. 1 in
a trade for Terry Mills, a
University of Michigan for-
ward. The Denver Nuggets
traded Schayes in exchange
for the Bucks' first-round
choice in the college draft.
The Bucks chose Mills for
the Nuggets.
Schayes, 31, played for the
Nuggets for six-and-a-half
seasons after one-and-a-half
years with the Utah Jazz.
Ankle problems kept him
out of 29 games last season,
but he averaged 10.4 points
and 6.5 rebounds in the 53
games he played.
He and Frank Brickowski,
a forward/center whom the
Bucks just acquired from the
San Antonio Spurs for
guard/forward Paul Pressey,
met the Milwaukee media
recently.
Dressed casually in a pink
golf shirt with gray slacks,
loafers and a gold chain,
Schayes joked easily with
reporters.
He said his role, as he
discussed it with head coach
Del Harris, will be to help
the Bucks become "bigger
and stronger."
At 6'11" and 245 lbs., he
hopes to play stalwart
defense near the basket, re-
bound effectively, score from
close to the hoop and pass
well. He said he anticipates
success, "especially playing
in the Eastern Conference."
Eastern teams are noted
for bigger men who play
more ruggedly and with
more set plays than the
teams in the NBA's Western
Conference, where lighter,
quicker players run, shoot
and score more prolifically.
The Nuggets were the pro-
totypic Western Conference
team, which relegated the
rugged Schayes to a suppor-
ting role. "The tempo of the

game (in Milwaukee) will fit
me better," he said.
Harris also expects
Schayes to have a strong im-
pact. The team applied three
rating systems to NBA
players last year based on
productivity per minutes
played. Schayes ranked
fourth, seventh and tenth
among the league's centers,
while Bucks starter Jack
Sikma ranked 18th, 18th
and 24th.
Schayes is beginning the
third year of a six-year con-
tract he signed with the
Nuggets, reportedly for $8.4
million. His injured ankles,
he said, are healed. While
the trade to the Bucks is
"great" professionally,
Schayes said it disrupts his
personal life.
"I love living in Denver.
But I have friends here al-
ready," he said. Still, the off-
season trade is likely to be
easier than his mid-season
switch to Denver seven
years ago. "You don't have
to pretend to get along with
everybody right away," he
joked. -
Schayes is the son of Dolph
Schayes, a Hall of Fame in-
ductee whose shooting and
rebounding with the
Syracuse Nationals of the
NBA in the 1950s and early
'60s defined the position of
power forward.
Dan always was around
basketball. He served as a
ballboy for the now defunct
Buffalo Braves NBA fran-
chise. He starred on the gold-
medal American basketball
team at the 1977 and 1981
Maccabiah games in Israel,
the Jewish Olympics.
Schayes, who is single,
said he would look for a local
synagogue to attend. But he
quipped that his first priori-
ty is finding where the
Bucks practice.
