On this day in 1965, the NBA Draft was held in New York City, and Boston selected two players of note.
The fist was forward Ron Watts, drafted out of Wake Forest with the 17th overall pick of the draft.
Watts would play just two seasons for the Celtics, technically winning a banner with the team in his rookie season despite only playing one game for Boston that year.
Watts averaged 1.4 points, as many rebounds and 0.1 assists per game in the 28 games he played for the Celtics between 1965 and 1967.
