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 18th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston guard alum Vander Blue. After ending his college career at Marquette, Blue would go unselected in the 2013 NBA draft.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native would sign with Boston instead in 2014, his stay with the team a mere 3 games before he'd be cut. Afterward, he'd latch on to the Los Angeles Lakers.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Blue wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.
