The Boston Celtics have drafted several players from Duke University over the years, including notable names like Jayson Tatum and Dahntay Jones. Many of these players did not make the team or had limited impact during their time with the 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 Duke.
The Boston Celtics have drafted players from Duke such as Jayson Tatum, Dahntay Jones, Haskell Tison, Mike Lewis, and Randy Denton.
Jayson Tatum was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the first round as the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
Only Jayson Tatum made a significant impact on the team, while Haskell Tison, Mike Lewis, Randy Denton, and Dahntay Jones did not make the team.
