During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hunter wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 3.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the 11th of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston guard alum RJ Hunter. After ending his college career at Georgia State, Hunter was picked up with the 28th overall selection of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Celtics.
The Oxford, Ohio native played just 36 games before he was cut by the team to end his first stint with Boston, separated by another with the Chicago Bulls and one with Houston Rockets before signing with Boston for the final game of his NBA career as a player.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hunter wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 3.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.
