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 16th of 29 people to wear the No. 11 jersey, Boston big man alum Stojko Vrankovic. After starting his pro career abroad, Vrankovic would go unselected in the 1986 NBA draft, instead signing with the Celtics.

The Drnis, Croatia native remained in Europe until 1990, and would play the first 2 seasons of his pro career with the Celtics before returning to the EuroLeague in 1992.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Vrankovic wore only jersey Nos. 52 and 11 and put up 1.9 points and 1.6 rebounds per game.
