Boston Celtics jersey history No. 28 - Willie Williams (1970)
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 fourth of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston forward alum Willie Williams. After ending his college career at Florida State, Williams was picked up with the 38th overall selection of the 1970 NBA Draft by the Celtics. The Miami, Florida native would play the first 16 games of his pro career with Boston before he was cut, later to land with (then) Cincinnati Royals (now, Sacramento Kings). During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Williams wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 0.9 points per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
