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.

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.
A member of today’s Boston roster is among them. https://t.co/N5ii6CeDwK
