If the chances of making it to the NBA are unlikely, the chances of making it to the NBA coming from Massachusetts are minuscule.
According to Basketball Reference, there are only 47 Massachusetts-born NBA players in the history of the league.
The odds of getting to suit up for the hometown Celtics are even slimmer. Of those 47 players, ten wound up playing in a regular-season game for the Celtics.
Georges Niang, who was recently acquired in the Kristaps Porzingis trade, could become the 11th if he is still on the roster by opening night.
