During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Driggers wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 2.4 points and 1.5 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 eighth of 13 people to wear the No. 27, Boston guard alum Nate Driggers.
After ending his college career at University of Montevallo, Driggers would go unselected in the 1995 NBA Draft, instead playing in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA -- that era's version of the G League) before he signed with Boston for his sole season in the NBA.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Driggers wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
