Much of the attention on the Boston Celtics’ rookie class has been paid to the likes of Grant Williams, Carsen Edwards, and of course, Tacko Fall.
But none of them were the C’s top draft pick this past season (Fall wasn’t even drafted). That distinction belongs to University of Indiana product Romeo Langford, who the Celtics drafted at No. 14 overall, eight spots ahead of Williams.
For most of the offseason, Langford went seemingly unnoticed as he recovered from surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right thumb.
