On this day, the Boston Celtics took two players of note in the 1985 NBA Draft, held in the Felt Forum, New York City, New York.
The Celtics first took 6-foot-2, 185 lb. point guard Samuel Vincent out of Michigan State with the 20th overall pick of the draft.
A product of Lansing Michigan, Vincent would play for two seasons for Boston between 1985 and 1987, winning a championship with the Celtics in 1986 as a reserve guard.
The former Spartan averaged 3.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game per 7.8 minute of play per game over the two seasons he was with the team.
Vincent left Boston when he was dealt with Scott Wedman to the Seattle SuperSonics for draft considerations in 1987.
