For decades, the Boston Celtics have built their championship-caliber rosters through the NBA draft, and few pipelines have been as fruitful as the one from Indiana University. From early-round gems to late-round finds, the Hoosier State has delivered some notable talent to Boston's hardwood.

Let's take a closer look at every player the Celtics have ever drafted out of Indiana:

1951 NBA Draft – Second Round, 17th Overall
The Celtics dipped into the Indiana well early, selecting a player in the second round who would go on to contribute during the franchise's formative years.

1957 NBA Draft – 11th Round, 79th Overall
In an era when drafts went deep, Boston used a late-round flyer on another Indiana product. While the odds were long, it shows the Celtics' willingness to mine college talent from all over.

1973 NBA Draft – First Round, 17th Overall
Perhaps the most notable Indiana pick in Celtics history came in the first round of the 1973 draft. This selection helped bolster Boston's roster during a transitional period between dynasties.

1981 NBA Draft – Fifth Round, 115th Overall
The Celtics went back to Indiana in the fifth round, adding depth to a team that was on the cusp of greatness. The early 80s Celtics were already loaded, but every piece mattered.

1982 NBA Draft – 10th Round, 225th Overall
In one of the deepest drafts in NBA history by round count, Boston used a 10th-round pick on another Hoosier. It's a testament to how the Celtics valued Indiana's program even in the later stages of the draft.

From early-round investments to late-round fliers, the Celtics have consistently looked to Indiana for talent. While not every pick became a legend, each one represents a chapter in Boston's storied draft history.
