Every player in Boston Celtics history who wore No. 13

Today’s installment focuses on the 24 players who wore No. 13 over the years as of September 2023.

The Boston Celtics have more retired jerseys than any other team in the NBA, but that doesn’t mean the rest of their jerseys have little history of interest tied to them.

In fact, with 17 titles to their name and decades of competitive basketball played in them, their unretired jersey numbers pack in some of the most history not hanging from the rafters of any team in the league. To that end, we have launched our accounting of that history, with every player in every jersey worn by more than one Celtics player in the storied franchise’s history accounted for.

Today’s installment focuses on the 24 players who wore No. 13 over the years as of September 2023.

On this day: Young born; Gugliotta signs; Barros, Fortson traded

On this day, former Boston Celtic James Young was born, Tom Gugliotta signed and Dana Barros and Danny Fortson were traded.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, shooting guard James Young was born in Flint, Michigan in 1995. Young would play his collegiate ball with the University of Kentucky Wildcats, where he would make Second Team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman Team honors in 2014. He would soon after being selected by the Celtics with the 17th overall pick of the 2014 NBA draft.

The Flint native would struggle on both ends of the court at the next level, spending much of his time with Boston’s developmental affiliate in the D League (as the G League was known in that era).

This was of course the Maine Red Claws (now Celtics), where he spent a considerable part of his rookie season.

On this day: James Young, Jermaine O’Neal signed; Tyler Zeller traded for

On this day, former Boston Celtics James Young and Jermaine O’Neal signed with the team, and Tyler Zeller arrived in a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

On this date in Boston Celtics history, shooting guard James Young signed his three-year rookie deal with the Celtics in 2014. A native of Flint, Michigan, Young was picked up 17th overall out of the University of Kentucky in the NBA draft of that same year.

He would spend much of his time playing for the Maine Red Claws (now, Celtics) in the NBA D League (as the G League was still known then) in his inaugural season after missing Summer League due to injuries. Young would play for Boston for a total of three seasons, but could never quite find his footing in the NBA despite abundant patience from the front office.

The Kentucky product averaged 2.3 points and 1.1 rebounds in his time in green and white.

On this day: Smart, Walker, Fox drafted; Perkins, Banks, Walker trade; Hewson passes

On this day, the Boston Celtics drafted Marcus Smart, Antoine Walker and Rick Fox, and traded for Kendrick Perkins and Marcus Banks.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, the Boston Celtics selected two players of note in the 2014 NBA draft, held in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The first was 6-foot-3 guard Marcus Smart out of Oklahoma State University, taken with the sixth overall pick of the draft. A native of Flower Mound, Texas, Smart fit in well and would make the 2014-15 All-Rookie Second Team in his inaugural season with the Celtics.

Smart’s brand of intense, all-out attack frequently saw the former Cowboy banged up with a litany of minor injuries, and his professionalism and dedication would position the young guard as the “heart and soul” and unofficial captain of the team in just a few short seasons.

Now with the Memphis Grizzlies, he earned 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2021-22 All-Defensive First Teams honors along with winning the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year award — among many other honors.

Former Celtic James Young inks deal with Greek League’s Kolossos Rodou B.C.

Young averaged 2.3 points per game with the parent club across 89 games in parts of 3 seasons before leaving Boston.

Former Boston Celtics shooting guard James Young has found a home in Europe for the rest of the 2022-23 season according to Hoops Hype’s Alberto De Roa. He has signed with Greek League club Kolossos Rodou B.C., located on the island of Rhodes in the Aegean sea.

It is not the worst place to ball out overseas for the former University of Kentucky standout, who was drafted by the Celtics in 2014, the same draft as veteran Boston floor general Marcus Smart. Young was the 17th pick; Smart was sixth. The Flint, Michigan, native never found his stride at the NBA level despite dominating the G League level with the Maine Red Claws (now, Maine Celtics).

Young averaged 2.3 points per game with the parent club across 89 games in parts of three seasons before leaving the team for stints with the Wisconsin Herd, Philadelphia 76ers, Delaware 76ers, Westchester Knicks and abroad with Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.

A native of Flower Mound, Texas, Smart fit in well almost immediately and would make the 2014-15 All-Rookie Second Team in his inaugural season with the Celtics.

Smart’s brand of intense, all-out attack frequently saw the former Cowboy banged up with a litany of minor injuries, and his professionalism and dedication would position the young guard as the “heart and soul” and unofficial captain of the team in just a few short seasons.

Still with the team, he has averaged 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game over seven seasons with the franchise, making the 2018-19 and 2019-20 All-Defensive First Teams.
