35. Don Chaney
Chaney was the 12th overall pick from the University of Houston, where, as a rookie, he was part of the Celtics’ 1969 Championship win, the last of the ’60s dynasty. The Guard would star on the defensive side of the ball, earning Second Team All-Defensive Selection honors four times as a Celtic, and would have four seasons of 10-plus Points per Game. Chaney was with Boston for most of his career, save for a one-year stint in the ABA with St. Louis and a year and a half later with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he holds the distinction of being the only Celtic who at one time played with Bill Russell and Larry Bird.
