Boston Celtics: Tacko Fall has quite the tall task

I have a question for you, Boston Celtics fans.

When was the last time an undrafted player made a Boston Celtics roster?

Ok, so there’s been Daniel Theis, Brad Wanamaker, Vincent Poirier’s contract is guaranteed, etc., and so forth.

But when was the last time an undrafted player made a Celtics roster when, in addition to having gone undrafted, said player hadn’t played professionally overseas at all, either?

Don’t feel badly, Boston Celtics fans. I couldn’t think of the last instance of this having happened, either.

Not in recent memory, nor at any time when the NBA landscape resembled what it does today, has a player overcome such odds as to accomplish this feat.
