The Bucs drafted Eric LeGrand, which is a very nice thing; mostly, it reminds us that THE WORST PERSON IN THE WOOOOOORLD Bobby Knight lobbied Red Auerbach to pick Landon Turner (back in the day when the NBA drafted everybody):

While Landon never suited up for Boston, the story behind the goodwill gesture was actually orchestrated by two basketball icons: Bob Knight and Red Auerbach.

As the story goes, the spring after Turner's accident, Knight attended a pre-NBA draft camp in Chicago and broached the subject with Auerbach about Boston drafting Turner as a symbolic gesture to what the kid had endured. Several weeks later, the Celtics did.

"I didn't know that [Knight] had spoken with Red Auerbach. I didn't know anything until my parents told me I was the last person selected in the draft," Turner said. "I felt elated that they did that for me."
