willjr,

Correct.

I had to write the Royal PITA out of the script, and Enes is the current Celtics player in that draft.

Thanks for playing.

Not Hondo, but he did play in the 1970's.

Upon reading the question my first thought was Antoine, don’t know why. After your clue about the 70’s sans Hondo the suspects are Cowens, White, Nellie, and Silas. Since all 3 of the front court players were physical bangers they were sure to have taken some R&R/injury days so I’ll go with JoJo.

Wikipedia wrote:In 1976, White was part of a dominant Celtics squad which featured 5 veterans averaging double-digit scoring.[30] During the playoffs, White led the Celtics to the NBA championship and was a starring player in what is often referred to as "the greatest game ever played"[31][32][33][34] in NBA history. In the triple overtime win against the Phoenix Suns in game 5 of those finals, White was the game's high scorer with 33 points, had a game high 9 assists, leading the Celtics to a 128–126 win. Logging 60 minutes of play time, only the Suns' Garfield Heard (61) played more minutes. White was named the most valuable player of the 1976 NBA Finals.[35]

White went on to become one of professional basketball's first "iron men", playing in all 82 games for five consecutive seasons during the 1970s and setting a franchise record of 488 consecutive games played.

Jayson has played 3 years and has 3902 points as a Celtic. He'll be climbing that Celtics scoring ladder soon. Jaylen has 3655 points in 4 years.

Look for a Boston Celtics Career Triple Doubles Leaders screenshot after the next trivia question (and subsequent answer).

Thanks for playing.

Bob,

That answer almost earned you a demerit. You get a pass due to the humor factor of your "answer".

BONUS TRIVIA QUESTION:

Seeing as we just had the draft lottery, this question came to me and I was surprised by the answer.

How many times have the Boston Celtics taken the first pick in the first round of the NBA draft?
(not had it and then traded it)
