In the seventh round of the 1977 NBA draft, the New Orleans Jazz selected [Lusia] Harris with the 137th pick overall. She became the second woman ever drafted by an NBA team, after Denise Long, who was selected by the San Francisco Warriors in the 1969 draft.[20]However, the league voided the Warriors' selection, thus Harris became the first and only woman ever officially drafted.[21] Harris did not express an interest to play in the NBA and declined to try out for the Jazz.[22] It was later revealed that she was pregnant at the time, which made her unable to attend the Jazz's training camp.[23] She was selected ahead of 33 other male players, including the Jazz's eighth round selection, Dave Speicher from the University of Toledo.[24] In a poll on the NBA.com website, she was ranked as the most unusual pick in the history of the NBA draft.
