Before we find out what the Celtics will do with their three first round picks in the 2019 NBA Draft, take a look at Danny Ainge's draft history as President of Basketball Operations for the franchise.
2003: Troy Bell (1,16); Dahntay Jones (1,20); Brandon Hunter (2,56)
Bell, a former star at Boston College, was immediately traded to Memphis where he played in just six games before spending the rest of his professional career playing overseas; Jones has appeared in 622 NBA games with seven different teams; Hunter averaged 3.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 36 games as a rookie with the Celtics.
2004: Al Jefferson (1,15); Delonte West (1,24); Tony Allen (1,25); Justin Reed (2,40)
Jefferson is a career 17 points per game scorer, the key piece Boston had to part with in order to acquire Kevin Garnett in 2007; West’s versatility and toughness made him a fan favorite; Allen has become a perennial selection to the all-NBA defensive team; Reed played sparingly for Boston before being traded to Minnesota about halfway through his second season.
