Cs Choose Acie Earl over Cassell

Sam Cassell might well have started his career in Boston rather than, perhaps, concluding it in Boston. But by the time the 1993 draft rolled around, the Celtics felt they didn't need the Florida State guard. Anyone who recalls the Celtics from the early 1990s knows how much they wanted a point guard. Dee Brown didn't do it. Brian Shaw didn't do it. So they traded for Sherman Douglas in January 2002, and he was firmly in charge at the position when the draft approached. Cassell was still on the board when the Celtics made their pick at No. 19. The choice? Acie Earl.
