Davidson College Draft Picks: Celtics' Gamble

0:00On April 10th, the Boston Celtics have always crushed it in the draft, landing legends and key role players that built their dynasty. But when you dig into every player they pick from Davidson College, it's a short list with zero roster spots filled. Over the years, just three guys got selected from that small North Carolina school, all in the 1960s and 70s. First up was Don Davidson, a four drafted in the fifth round, ninth pick, 47th overall back in 1965. He played three seasons at Davidson, but never cracked the Celtic squad. Then came Mike Maloy, another forward, snag in the 10th round, fourth pick, 157th overall in 1970. Three years at Davidson, same story, no time on the Boston court. Meanwhile, guard Brian Adrien got the nod in 1972, fifth round, 14th pick, 77th overall after two seasons there. Again, he didn't make the team. It's wild how even tiny schools like Davidson popped up in Celtics draft history.
