Jae Crowder – 2015-17
The 6-foot-6 forward out of Marquette came to Boston in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks that saw Crowder and point guard Jameer Nelson and big man Brandan Wright plus picks in exchange for beloved Celtics floor general Rajon Rondo and center Dwight Powell.
The Georgia native’s high-energy play would soon win him fans in Boston, where he averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 boards and 1.8 assists over three seasons.
Crowder would leave the team — and the jersey number — behind in another deal that would bring controversial point guard Kyrie Irving to the Celtics, sending out an injured Isaiah Thomas and center Ante Žižić plus draft assets in return.
To date, the former Golden Eagle is easily the greatest player to wear No. 99 for Boston.
