Every Boston College player drafted by the Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics have built their teams in a number of ways over the decades, but few if any methods have born more fruit than through the NBA draft. The best players to suit up for the Celtics have, by and large, come to Boston either through being taken directly in the annual event, or via trades made that night.
And it is not just the top stars who have been picked up by the Celtics via the draft. Countless members of the storied ball club’s alumni have been taken by the team, and some schools are better represented than others. We can see blue blood programs and some very small schools both delivering top talent to Boston’s rosters over the years, so we decided to take a look at which players came from which schools overall.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Celtics out of Boston College.

Boston Police Blotter: Plan for a new St. Patrick’s Day Parade route
The Boston Police Department is reminding holiday revelers that this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade route is different than in previous years and to plan their transportation accordingly.
The parade, scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, will be going in a reverse direction along the historical route and will use East Sixth Street instead of East Fifth Street.
Here is the parade route: Beginning at Andrew Square, the parade will proceed up Dorchester Street, turn right onto Telegraph Street, turn right around Thomas Park, take a left on G Street, turn right onto 6th Street, left on K Street, right on 4th Street, left on P Street, left on East Broadway, bearing right onto West Broadway, and ending after a right onto A Street.
“People attending the parade are strongly encouraged to walk, bike, or take public transit,” the BPD says.
