Andre Wakefield

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Andre Wakefield: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Out of Chicago's Crane High School, Wakefield played at the College of Southern Idaho and Loyola University Chicago before Phoenix picked him in the fifth round of the 1978 draft. His NBA stay ran two seasons, 1978 to 1980, as a reserve point guard for Detroit, Chicago and the Jazz, averaging 2.3 points a game.

When the playing stopped, he went back to Loyola and joined the bench as an assistant coach.
