By the numbers – ranking Boston’s players by jersey: No. 55

While no legendary Boston Celtics wore No. 55 over the years, plenty of players of note have, and these are the best of them.

No. 2 to wear No. 55: Eric Williams – 1996-2004

While younger fans may not recall Williams time with Boston, he was one of only a few bright spots in the wilderness era between banners 16 and 17.

A solid wing player drafted by the Celtics 14th overall in the 1995 NBA Draft, the Providence product had an all-around solid game if no especially strong talents.

He played for Boston in two stints, traded away by the Celtics to the Denver Nuggets for a pair of second-rounders, only to come back to the team two seasons later. He averaged 9.2 points, 3.5 boards and 1.5 assists over seven seasons with Boston.
