Roy Rogers – 1997-98
Rogers played for Boston for just one season, traded to the team from the then-Vancouver Grizzlies for Tony Massenburg and a second-round pick.
The power forward sharing a name with the popular cowboy celebrity would average just 0.6 rebounds and 0.8 points per game during his brief nine-game tenure, and would be traded just months after arriving.

He was shipped out with Chauncey Billups, Dee Brown and John Thomas to the Toronto Raptors for Kenny Anderson, Popeye Jones and Žan Tabak in 1998, playing short stints for that club and the Denver Nuggets after.
Interestingly, he would rejoin the franchise as an assistant coach in 2010.
With so few games to make a case, Rogers, is the third-best player to wear No. 99.
