  "account": "The Boston Celtics have a long history of building their teams through the NBA draft, with many of their players coming from various schools. In a recent article by Celtics Wire, it was revealed that every Western Kentucky player drafted by the Celtics has yet to make the team. The article highlights four players from Western Kentucky who were drafted by the Celtics but did not play for the team.\n\nThe first player is Ralph Crosthwaite, a center drafted in the 3rd round (8th pick, 24th overall) in 1959. Crosthwaite played for Western Kentucky for four seasons but did not make the Celtics roster. Next is Jim Rose, a guard drafted in the 2nd round (11th pick, 28th overall) in 1971. Rose, too, played for Western Kentucky for three seasons but was not selected to play for the Celtics. The third player is Clarence Glover, a forward drafted in the 1st round (10th pick, 10th overall) in 1971. Glover's college career at Western Kentucky lasted three seasons, but he too did not make the Celtics team. Lastly, the article mentions Raymon A. Gish, a center drafted in the 5th round (7th pick, 47th overall) in 1951. Gish's college career at Western Kentucky spanned three seasons, but he, like the other players, did not make it to the Celtics roster.",
