On this day: Bias dies; Carlisle drafted; Carr hired as coach

On this day, vaunted Boston Celtics draftee Len Bias passed away, Rick Carlisle was drafted, and M.L. Carr was hired as head coach.

It is also the date of the 1984 NBA Draft, in which the Boston Celtics took two players of note. The first was Michael Young, a 6-foot-7 small forward drafted out of the University of Houston.

He would never play for the Celtics, but managed to carve out a career for himself overseas, with short stints playing for the Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers before landing a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in 1989-90, his last in the NBA.
