The Boston Celtics have long relied on the NBA draft to build championship teams, with many of their all-time greats coming straight from the lottery. Or draft night deals. While big-name colleges dominate the list, the team is also tapped talent from smaller schools over the decades. Today, we're diving into an obscure corner of that history. It was drafted by the Celtics from California University of Pennsylvania, a Division II, program. Only one guy fits the bill, Ray Green, a guard picked in the ninth round, ninth selection, as to BAO 145th overall, in the 19, 71 draft. Green's been time at Cal U of Pennsylvania, but never cracked the Celtics roster, so he posted zero stats in Green. It's a reminder of how deep the draft pulls used to go back then, unearthing gems from everywhere, even if this one stayed buried.
