The Boston Celtics have always crushed it through the NBA draft, landing stars and solid role players that built their dynasty. But when it comes to players from Brown University, the list is super short, just two guys ever picked by the team. Over decades, Boston scooped talent from big programs and small schools alike, turning draft nights into gold mines. Brown, that Ivy League spot, sent a couple prospects their way back in the early days of the league. Fans loved digging into this history. Seeing how even lesser-known colleges fed the Celtics machine. These drafts highlight the team's knack for finding gems anywhere, though not every pick panned out. First up, Ford Francis H. Mahoney got taken in the sixth round, first pick of that round, 61st overall in the 1950 draft. He stuck around for one season in Green. Meanwhile, Guard Mike Singasur came later, ninth round, ninth pick, 80th overall in 1962,
