By the numbers – ranking Boston’s players by jersey: No. 54

Who were the best Boston Celtics to wear each jersey number? As we wait for the 2019-20 NBA season to resume, the Celtics Wire investigates.

No. 4 to wear No. 54 – Greg Stiemsma (2011-12)

A late-season addition in December of 2011, Stiemsma was primarily a defensive specialist who was brought on to help short up Boston’s frontcourt.

The Wisconsin-Madison product, a 6-foot-10 undrafted forward, managed to parlay his stint with the Celtics into a Nike sponsorship deal and a guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Steimsma averaged 2.9 points, 3.2 boards and 1.5 blocks per game while with Boston.
