Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
On process, brilliant — Henderson for #2 overall. The pick became Len Bias, the ACC Player of the Year and projected franchise savior. Bias tragically died two days after the draft. Grade separates process (A+) from tragic outcome, but basketball result is a loss.
