Pistons deal
DETROIT (UPI-The Detroit Pistons traded forward Willie
Norwood to the Phoenix Suns yesterday in exchange for backup
center Earl Williams.
Norwood, a four-year veteran of the National Basketball Asso-
ciation, takes an 8.2 career scoring average and a bad knee with
him to Phoenix.
The 6-foot-7, 220-pound Alcorn A&M product was limited to
just 24 games with the Pistons last season after undergoing
surgery for the removal of bone spurs in his right knee. He
averaged 6.6 points per game.
Williams, a 6-foot-7, 235-pound product of Winston-Salem, pulled
down 456 rebounds last season-a figure that would have almost
made him the second best rebounder on the Pistons, who finished
last in the NBA in that department.
He played just 13 minutes a game for the Suns. Williams
averaged 21 rebounds per game in his senior season of college and
was Phoenix's third-round draft choice.

Cardinals deal
ST. LOUIS 6I1-The St. Louis Cardinals moved to strengthen
their pitching staff by acquiring tall right-hander Ron Reed from
the Atlanta Braves in exchange for right-hander Elias Sosa and
left-hander Ray Sadecki.
The Cards said the 32-year-old Reed, a nine-season veteran,
will move into their rotation which also includes right-handers
Bob Gibson, Bob Forsch and Lynn McGlothen and left-hander John
Curtis.
Reed, who played in the National Basketball Association with
Detroit, owned a 4-5 record with Atlanta in 10 starts this season
and had compiled a 4.26 earned run average.
Nets deal
NEW YORK (.O')--The New York Nets, 1974 champions of the
American Basketball Association, have traded forward Larry
Kenon and guard Mike Gale to the San Antonio Spurs for center
Swen Nater.
Kenon, called by Nets Coach Kevin Lougherty "one of the
best rebounders off the offensive board I've ever seen," has played
in each of the club's 84 regular-season games over the past two
seasons, his first two years in the league. He also played in two
All-Star Games.
The 6-11, 250-pound Nater also has been in the ABA for two
years. He was the league's Rookie of the Year in 1973-74 when he
averaged 14.1 patnts per game and grabbed 998 rebounds with
both Virginia and San Antonto.

KUPEC TO GO
N BAdraft commences
From Wire Service Reports
The NBA draft will begin to-
day, with C.J. Kupec a possible.
high round pick. Kupec, who
started at center for two years
on Johnny Orr's basketball
team, is expected to go in the
second or third round. No other
Michigan player is likely to be
drafted.
As for the rest, the Atlanta
Hawks have apparently decided
that David Thompson of North
Carolina State will be the first
player chosen, despite the pros-
pect of a bidding war for his
services.
Los Angeles will pick next
and will likely take Marvin
"The Human Eraser" Webster
of Morgan State.
The third pick belongs to
Atlanta, and forward Dave
Meyers of UCLA could be the
man. Phoenix drafts next, and
hardship case Alvin Adams of
Oklahoma will likely rejoin
his old college coach, John
McLeod.
The Philadelphia 76ers, with
the No. 5 pick, reportedly are
coveting 6-10 Darryle Dawkins
from Maynard E v a n s High
School in Orlando, Fla., and
one of the two high school
players on the hardship list.
Dawkins refused to confirm or
deny reports that he will forego
a college career and go directly
to the pros.
On Tuesday night he said he
still hadn't made up his mind
about joining the pros.
"C'mon Darryl," said a by-
stander. "Surely you know what
you're gonna do now."
"I got 'til tomorrow to think
about it," said Dawkins.
"Wouldn't you stay up all night
and think about it?"
The other high school player
on the hadship list was 6-8 Bill
Willoughbly from Dwight Mor-
row High in Englewood, N.J.
Others whose hardship cases
were approved by NBA Commis-
sioner Walter Kennedy included
Luther "Tickey" Burden of
Utah, Joe Bryant of La Salle,
Frank Oleynick of Seattle, Larry
Fogle of Canisius and Walter
Luckett of Ohio University.
Among the other highly re-
garded collegiate seniors are
Junior Bridgeman of Louisville,
Kevin Grevey of Kentucky, Li-
onel Hollins of Arizona State,
Gus Williams of Southern Cali-
fornia, Joe Meriweather of
Southern Illinois and Bob M,
Curdy of Richmond.
