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.

Now in our fifth edition of our series ranking each of the Boston Celtics’ draft picks Nos. 1 through 60, we arrive at pick No. 55, which the Celtics have drafted at a total of five times in their history.

The prospects chosen by Boston here were taken between 1957 and 2011, with no stars as one might expect this late in the draft. Still, it features at least one face which should be familiar to most Celtics fans of today.

As we have done with each installment of this series, we employ a rubric which rates the picks by what they accomplished with Boston as its focus, and then reviews what they’ve done with other teams (or in other walks of life) if the race is a tight one.

So, with these issues noted, who are the best No. 55 picks in Celtics history?
