"My father always left it up to me what I wanted to do," Danny Ferry said. "If I wanted help, all I had to do was ask. He encouraged me to work hard. When I was younger, a little more encouragement was needed than it was later.

After that, I took over because I wanted to improve. "You hear a lot of horror stories about fathers dealing with coaches, but all the coaches I've had say he's one of the best fathers because he tried to stay out of the way." While Bob Ferry was little more than a journeyman player, his son credits him with helping to prepare for a pro career. "As a player he helped me develop, and because he has a pro background, the way I've developed should help me in pro ball," Danny said. "There are so many little things he's helped me with. "I haven't picked an agent, but he knows the agents and knows what I'll be dealing with, so he's helped me narrow the list to five or six." But Ferry knows that even with his father's help, there are some things about the NBA that can't be taught.

"In college, I lost only 25 games," he said. "In the pros, I'll lose that much in one season. That'll be a big adjustment." 1-4-6 Won 1 17-21 13-24 30 45 .400 15 The Clippers, despite a 21-61 record in 1988 89, are top-heavy in forwards and devoid of an outside threat. Although the 6-foot-10 Ferry had a good outside touch for a big player, he might not fit in on a team that already has young forwards Danny Manning, Smith and Ken Norman as its best three players. Yes, Ferry said, he wouldn't mind a swap to Washington, where Jeff Malone is a top shooting guard and the general manager is Bob Ferry, who also happens to be Danny Ferry's father.

"Washington is a great place to live and I'd love to play for my father, but I would play and be happy anywhere," Ferry said. "Playing in Washington would be great. My family is there and my friends are there and I enjoy the area. But to be honest, playing anywhere will be great." Wherever he winds up. Bob and Danny Ferry will become the seventh father-son combination in NBA history.

The others are Dolph and Danny Schayes, Ernie and Kiki Vandeweghe, Al and Allie McGuire, James Paxson and sons John and Jim, George and Larry Mikan and Butch and Jan van Breda Kolff. Bob Ferry, 6-8, averaged 9.1 points in a 10-year career that took him to St. Louis, Detroit and Baltimore. Danny, meanwhile, was highly recruited out of high school and became an Ail-American at Duke, twice winning Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year honors. It might have been easy for Bob Ferry to become an overbearing, unbearable presence, especially after Danny showed signs of BATTING (220 at baUI-Urkln.

15. NEW YORK (AP) Danny Ferry is coming into the NBA with his eyes wide open and ready for anything. As a youngster, he'd spend draft days in Capital Centre at Landover, watching college prospects bartered like goods at a market. He remembered Mel Turpin in 1984 and Charles Smith in 1988 being traded just minutes after wearing the baseball caps of the teams that drafted them. When the Los Angeles Clippers made Ferry the second pick in the first round Tuesday night, Ferry was just being realistic when he said he might never wear a Clippers uniform.

"I had no idea coming into the draft where I'd go," Ferry said. "I still don't know if I'll stay where I am. I'm still uncertain. Nothing would shock me. I want to be wherever I'm needed." Deason, Coates battle; Waites takes third place GROVETOWN, Ga.

Dion Deason and Frankie Coates of Greenwood battled in the 25-lap late model sportsman feature at Gordon Park Speedway Saturday, and Herbie Waites of McCormick placed third in the 20-lap super stock feature. Daryl Key of New Ellenton won the late model race, taking the front position from Deason with three laps to go. Deason led until a caution was brought out when Coates went a little high getting into Deason sending him over the 3-4 turn bank. Deason took second, followed by Tommy Snell of Beech Island, Danny McClure of Dearing, Ga. and Coates.

(AP) -Terry Blocker drove in the winning run as the Greenville Braves defeated the Huntsville Stars 4-3 in a Southern League baseball game in which Jose Canseco played. Blocker drove in the RBI single in Greenville's eighth inning Wednesday night as the Braves improved to 7-2. Huntsville dropped to 4-5.

Paul Merak, 6-4, took the win. He went 3 1-3 innings, giving up no runs and no hits while striking out four and walking- none. Mike Stanton received his eighth save in working one inning and walking one. Rich Berg, 2-1, received the loss. He went 2 1-3 innings, giving up one run and two hits while striking out three and walking one.

The Stars went ahead 1-0 in the first on a wild pitch by Braves starter Lee Upshaw, but Greenville tied the game with a run in the second. Canseco, the designated hitter for Huntsville, went l-for-4 on a single to deep short. On his other three at-bats, he grounded to the pitcher, popped up to first and struck out. Canseco, who played for the Stars in 1985, was named the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1988. Wrist and shoulder problems have kept him out of the 1989 Oakland lineup.
