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. 2 to wear No. 54 – Rodney Rogers (2002)

Rodney Rogers was not exactly a Celtics lifer with only 27 games to his tenure, but he made up for it with quality over quantity.

The 6-foot-7 forward out of Wake Forest was dealt by the Phoenix Suns with Tony Delk to Boston for Randy Brown, Joe Johnson, Milt Palacio and draft assets in February of 2002, and finished out the season with the team.

Rogers logged 10.7 points, 4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game over that 27-contest stretch.
