Andy Walker

Niagara University sent Walker to the pros in 1976, when New Orleans claimed the small forward in the seventh round of the draft. He spent the 1976–77 season with the Jazz — his one year in the NBA.

Born March 25, 1955, in Long Island City, New York, he belongs to the small fraternity of players whose entire NBA record fits inside a single New Orleans Jazz season.

HOW HE CAME & WENTNew Orleans drafted him in the seventh round of 1976, 111th overall, and the season that followed was his only one with the club.
