Celtics' Canisius Draft Picks: Longshots & Footnotes

0:00On March 28th, the Boston Celtics have always crushed it in the draft, landing legends like Bird and many more through picks or draft night deals. But when you zoom in on Kinesias College, it's a different story, just two guards ever selected by Boston, both late round long shots from way back. First up, Herm Heterick in 1952, the Celtics grabbed him in the fourth round, 30 second overall. He played three seasons at Kinesias, but never cracked the roster in Boston. Then, 15 years later, Andy Anderson got the nod in 1967. Eighth round, 88th pick overall, also after three years with the Golden Griffins. Like Heterick, he didn't make the team either. These picks highlight how deep the Celtics dig and drafts, even from smaller schools like Kinesias. No NBA minutes from either, but they show the franchise's history of scouting everywhere for talent. Still, it's a reminder of Boston's real draft gems from bigger programs. Kinesias stays a footnote in that green dynasty.
