Golden St. likely to tab
Carroll 1st in NBA draft
NEW YORK (AP) - The Golden
State Warriors, who finished last in the
Pacifik Divison the past three seasons,
hope to take a major step toward rever-
sing their fortunes today when they
open the National Basketball
Association's college draft.
The Warriors obtained the No. 1 pick
from the Boston Celtics yesterday in
exchange for seven-foot center Robert
Parish, a four-year veteran who
averaged 17.0 points and 10.9 rebounds
per game last season. The teams also
swapped their other first-round picks,
giving Boston the third choice overall
and Golden State the 13th pick.
"THIS IS THE first step in the major
restructuring of our club," said Scotty
Stirling, assistant to the president of the
Warriors.
Golden State is expected to open the
draft by taking Joe Barry Carroll, the 7-
foot-1 center who led Purdue to the
NCAA semifinals and would inherit
Parish's pivot post.
Carroll, Darrell Griffith and Kevin
McHale still figure to be the first three
players chosen after the draft begins at
noon. But the trade apparently changes
the destination for Carroll and McHale.
THE CELTICS, who had'obtained the
first pick in the draft in an earlier deal
with Detroit, had sought a center to
break in behind Dave Cowens, who will
be 32 in October. After failing to per-
suade Ralph Sampson, Virginia's 7-4
freshman, to turn pro, they had been
expected to take Carroll, the 7-1 center
who led Purdue to the NCAA semi-
finals.
Instead, on the eve of the draft, they
decided to deal.
"There are three great players in this
year's draft: Carroll, McHale and Grif-
fith. We are still guaranteed to get one
of them," said Celtics General
Manager Red Auerbach.
THEY ARE now expected to get
McHale, a 6-11 center from Minnesota
who is regarded as better suited to the
power forward position by most pro
scouts and was the most valuable
player of the post-season Aloha Classic.
He is similar, in physique and playing
style to Cowens and Rick Robey,
another Celtic.
Utah holds the second pick in the
draft and is expected to choose Griffith,
the 6-foot-4 guard who led Louisville to
the NCAA championship and is regar-
ded by most scouts as the only "can't
miss" prospect in a draft that is full of
uncertainties.
"You can't go wrong picking Darrell
Griffith," says Marty Blake, the former
general manager who runs a scouting
service for the NBA that is utilized by
all the league's teams.
"HE'S GOING to be a superstar for
the nex$ 10 years."
But Blake is less enthusiastic about
the other players available.
"There are questions on all these
guys," said Blake, "There is con-
siderable depth in this draft, but not as
many sure things as there were a year
ago.
GRIFFITH HEADS a good group of
guards that includes Ronnie Lester of
Iowa despite his knee problems, Kelvin
Ransey of Ohio State, Andrew Toney of
Southwestern Louisiana, Larry Drew of
Missouri, John Duren of Georgetown,
Carl Nicks of Indiana State and Sam
Worthen of Marquette.
McHale and three other college cen-
ters who are projected as cornermen in
the pros, 6-9 James Ray of Jackson-
ville, 6-10 Ricky Brown of Mississippe
State and 6-8 Reggie Johnson of Ten-
nessee, bolster a group of forward can-
didates that includes Mike OKoren, 6-6,
North Carolina; Michael Brooks, 6-7,
LaSalle, and Kiki Vandeweghe, 6-8,
UCLA.
Several swingmen - college forwar-
ds who could play either forward or
guard in the NBA - should go high.
Carroll
These include Hawkeye Whitney of
North Carolina State, Mike Woodson of
Indiana and Don Collins of Washington
State.
SEVEN UNDERGRADUATES ap-
plied for the draft, the best being guard
Wes Matthews of Wisconsin, forward
DeWayne Scales of Louisiana State and
center Jeff Ruland of Iona.
After Golden State, Utah and Boston,
the order of selection in the first round
will be Chicago, Denver, New Jersey,
New Jersey again, Philadelphia, San
Diego, Portland, Dallas, New York,
Boston, Washington, San Antonio, Kan-
sas City, Detroit, Atlanta, Utah, Seat-
tle, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Den-
ver.
Blake calls the Bulls' pick "the key to
the rest of the draft. Chicago could go
any of a half-dozen ways." Chicago's
.Griffith
two prime areas of interest are small
forward or playmaking guard.
DENVER IS most likely to go for a
big forward, with speculation centering
on Ray, but might switch signals and
take a playmaker. New Jersey will
probably use one pick on Mike Gminski,
6-11, from Duke, and the other on either
O Koren or a guard, possibly Toney,
who is the player Philadelphia would
like to get with the eighth pick.
Because of trades, Golden State,
Denver, New Jersey, Philadelphia and
Utah have two picks apiece on the first
round while Houston, Indiana, Los
Angeles, Milwaukee and Phoenix have
none.
The draft, which lasts 10 rounds, will
be held at the Sheraton Centre hotel and
will be televised live by the USA cable
network.
SPORTS OF THE DAILY:
Ex49er Hoskins dead
REDWOOD CITY (AP)-Former
San Francisco 49er tackle Bob Hoskins,
who scored an inspirational victory
overHodgkins disease during his pro
football career, died Sunday night of an
apparent heart attack at the age of 34.
Hoskins, who played for the 49ers
from 1969 to 1975, was considered one of
the team's premier defensive players.
The highlight of his career came in 1971
when he recovered a fumble in the end
zone for the touchdown that gave the
49ers a 24-20 playoff victory over the
Washington Redskins.
Hoskins played just one year on the
varsity at Wichita State University. In
1968, he played for Seattle of the semi-
pro Continental Football League. The
49ers drafted him in 1969, and the
following year he became a regular.
Prior to the 1974 season Hoskins con-
tracted Hodgkins disease, but despite
major surgery and treatments, he
returned to start every game at right
defensive tackle in the 1974 and 1975
seasons.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn,
and their four children.
