 He was widely regarded throughout his career as an excellent 3-point shooter, being among the league leaders in that statistical category for several years.
The 1977 NBA draft was the 31st annual draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 The draft was held on June 10, 1977, before the 1977–78 season.
 In this draft, 22 NBA teams took turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players.
 The first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip.
 The Milwaukee Bucks won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the Kansas City Kings, who obtained the New York Nets first-round pick in a trade, were awarded the second pick.
 The remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season.
 A player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was eligible for selection.
 If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.
 Before the draft, six college underclassmen were declared eligible for selection under the "hardship" rule.
 These players had applied and gave evidence of financial hardship to the league, which granted them the right to start earning their living by starting their professional careers earlier.
 Four former American Basketball Association (ABA) franchises who joined the NBA when both leagues merged, the Denver Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers, the New York Nets and the San Antonio Spurs, took part in the NBA Draft for the first time.

 The draft consisted of 8 rounds comprising the selection of 170 players.
