The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the 16th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston big man alum Shelden Williams. After ending his college career at Duke, Williams was picked up with the fifth overall selection of the 2006 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma native would play parts of the first 2 seasons of his pro career with the Hawks. He would also have stints with the Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves before he'd sign with Boston in 2009. His stay with the team would span a single season, ending when he joined the Denver Nuggets in 2010.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Williams wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
