Louis Orr was drafted 29th overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 1980 NBA Draft, relatively late for such a standout collegiate player. However, after playing four seasons with Syracuse, Orr was off to the NBA.
Orr played just eight seasons in the league but became a beloved star to the New York Knicks franchise. He played for the Knicks from 1982-88.
Over his eight years in the NBA, Orr saw four playoff berths and scored over 5,500 career points (nearly 700 points a season).
After his professional playing career came to an end, Orr went on to become a collegiate coach for three decades.
