The Michigan Daily S ports Sports of the Daily 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. x* * * 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.
