Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Bryant Stith (2000-01)
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 22nd of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston guard alum Bryant Stith. After ending his college career at Virginia, Stith was picked up with the 13th overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the Denver Nuggets.
The Emporia, Virginia native would play the first eight seasons of his pro career with the Nugs before he was dealt to Boston in 2000. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2001.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Stith wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 9.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
