Which Colleges Fed the Celtics?
Description
The Boston Celtics have built their legacy not just through superstar signings, but also by strategically drafting talent straight from college hoops. This episode dives into which schools have fed the Celtics the most players over the years — revealing surprising college powerhouses and under-the-radar programs that’ve contributed to Boston’s roster. We spotlight Mississippi State, which sent two players — Jim Ashmore (1957, 4th round) and Red Stroud (1963, 5th round) — though neither ever made the team. It’s a fascinating look at how draft history shapes NBA dynasties, one school at a time.
