Ranking every No. 55 pick made in the NBA draft by the Boston Celtics

Our fifth installment of ranking every pick from Nos. 1 to 60, we compare the five picks the Boston Celtics have made 55th overall.

No. 4: Jon McKinney – forward – Norfolk State

McKinney is a similarly mysterious character: a 6-foot-6 forward out of Norfolk State in 1970, there isn’t much more detail than we had with Finderson.

Norfolk State Athletics

 

McKinney averaged 32.2 points and 17.9 rebounds per game in his senior season with the Spartans, so it’s not hard to see why Boston was interested. What we don’t know is why they also declined to roster the Norfolk state product — or what he did afterwards.
