Six Boston Celtics alumni changing places in redraft of 2001 NBA draft class
As Hoops Hype’s staff keep themselves busy reassessing the draft orders of the last few decades over the years, there are always a fair number of Boston Celtics alumni making moves in their re-drafts as a result.
In the H/H’s reassessment of the 2001 NBA draft class, a total of six Boston alumni ended up seeing their draft stock shift with the benefit of hindsight lifting their fortunes. And while they won’t see any pay raises or anything else of that sort given the fictitious nature of such an exercise, it’s also nice to see this group get their flowers, too.
Let’s take a look at which Celtics alumni landed where.
