Lots of people also don't realize that Red drafted Bird when he was an unhearalded junior at Indiana State. Because Bird didn't come out for the draft that year, the Celts retained his rights until the next draft, in June of the following year--after Bird single-handedly led Indiana State to the NCAA Finals.
Cowens was another great pick---someone with a lot of talent who flew below the radar in college, but was perfectly suited to the Celtics' system.
Paul Westphall for Charlie Scott and Paul Silas--another one of Red's steals.
