Inspired by yesterday’s re-ranking of all the Boston Celtics who were taken third in their respective NBA Drafts, we’re ranking all the Celtics’ draft picks by numbers, starting with the last pick of the modern draft, No. 60.
You’d think a team with 70 years of history and 17 banners would have had a lot of players taken at this late number, but surprisingly there’s only three to choose from.
In our ranking rubric, we are mainly focused on what players accomplished with the franchise, rather than over the course of their careers elsewhere; when close or necessary, we’ll use what they accomplished on other teams besides Boston.
