0307 - thought I'd put Danny Schayes numbers/comments to compare to Bouie. You're right, Danny had an eighteen year career in the NBA but because of the  Louie and Bouie show did not start for SU until his senior year.

Both were 6'11" 230 LBS. Bouie started every game for four years, 118, due to L&B, Schayes played in 117 but only started in 39. Career SU Stats for Schayes: PTS 965, RPG 5.4, PPG 8.2, REB 635 Bouie: PTS 1560, RPG 8.4, PPG 13.2, REB 987.

[JUSTIFY][FONT=arial]Schayes grew up in the Syracuse area playing for Jamesville-DeWitt. He was an extremely gifted and disciplined player, fundamentally sound in all areas of the game, which was extremely unusual for a player of his size (6’11”). Unfortunately for Schayes, Syracuse had several very talented big men established on the team when he arrived. [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/RBouie.htm']Roosevelt Bouie[/URL] and [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/LOrr.htm']Louis Orr[/URL] were firmly entrenched in the two big men roles. Coach [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/JBoeheim.htm']Jim Boeheim[/URL] occasionally tried to play Schayes on the court at the same time as Bouie and Orr, but the combination of the three big men did not work well. Instead, Schayes was a valuable sixth man his first three years.

Schayes senior year saw the departure of Orr and Bouie, and Schayes was then the starting center. He was a strong rebounder and a very good passer from the top of the key. Schayes had an excellent mid range jump shot, and was a excellent free throw shooter. He would lead the team in scoring and rebounding, earning first team [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/BigEast/BE_Conference_Teams_Player.htm']Big East honors[/URL], All-American honors, and academic All-American honors. In a road game against Detroit, Schayes would shoot 11 of 13 from the floor for a career high [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/Syracuse30points.htm']33[/URL] points.[/FONT][/JUSTIFY]
