On this day, the Boston Celtics selected two players of note in the 1975 NBA Draft.
The first of the two was Jerome Anderson, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of the University of West Virginia taken with the 53rd overall pick.
The Mullens, West Virginia native would win a championship with the Celtics in his sole season with the team in 1975-76.
Anderson would record 2.8 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game over 5.7 minutes per game in his rookie season.
In October of 1976, he would be waived by the team only to be picked up by the Indiana Pacers, his final stop in the NBA.
