On this day: Vincent, Lewis drafted; Horford/Walker/Brown trade; Spector passes

On this day, the Boston Celtics took Sam Vincent and Ralph Lewis in the 1985 NBA draft, the team traded Kemba Walker for Al Horford and Moses Brown, and Al Spector passed.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, the team took two players of note in the 1985 NBA draft that was held in the Felt Forum in New York. With their first selection (No. 20), the Celtics took 6-foot-2, 185-pound point guard Samuel Vincent out of Michigan State.

A native of Lansing Michigan, Vincent played two seasons for Boston (1985- 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 minutes 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.
