In the seventh round, the New Orleans Jazz selected Lusia Harris, a female college basketball star from Delta State University, with the 137th pick.

Also in the seventh round, the Kansas City Kings selected track and field athlete Bruce Jenner {{Cref|3}} with the 139th pick (needling the cross-town Kansas City Chiefs, who would often claim to select the "best athlete available" in the NFL Draft). Jenner had just won the gold medal for decathlon at the 1976 Olympic Games, but had not actually played basketball since high school. Jenner was presented with a Kings jersey bearing the number 8618 (his Olympics decathlon score), but he never appeared in a game.{{cite web|url=http://www.usatf.org/halloffame/TF/showBio.asp?HOFIDs=82|title=Bruce Jenner Bio|publisher=USA Track & Field|access-date=August 25, 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100901182718/http://www.usatf.org/HallOfFame/TF/showBio.asp?HOFIDs=82| archive-date= 1 September 2010 | url-status= live}} (The closest Jenner would come to a basketball career was a few years later in the film Can't Stop The Music, in a sequence where he shot hoops with her co-stars The Village People.)
