  "account": "The Boston Celtics have built their teams in various ways throughout the decades, but the NBA draft has been a particularly fruitful method. Many of the franchise's top stars have been selected directly in the annual event or through trades made that night. Notably, multiple alumni from the storied ball club have been taken by the Celtics during the draft.\n\nTo better understand which schools have produced the most talent for the Celtics, the author decided to examine every player drafted by the team out of New York University (NYU). The results reveal that NYU has been represented on the Celtics roster through a single player.\n\nGeorge Petrovick, who played for NYU, was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the 9th round (1947) of the BAA Draft. However, the author's source does not provide information on his position or whether he made it to the team. Petrovick's statistics and data can be found on Basketball Reference.",
