NBA Draft Mistakes: Every NBA Team’s Most Painful Draft Regrets

Boston Celtics: Draymond Green, 2012 NBA Draft

General Manager Danny Ainge has done an incredible job of stocking the roster of the Boston Celtics with a ridiculous amount of talent, but even the most ardent Boston fans will tell you he’s had some serious misses in past NBA Drafts. Case in point?

Using first round picks on guys like Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo in the 2012 NBA Draft, and passing on taking big man Draymond Green. In fairness to Ainge, the rest of the NBA overlooked Green as well, as he fell to the 35th overall pick. If you think passing up on Draymond was bad… wait until you see what Charlotte did in the 1996 Draft!
