During his time suiting up for the Celtics, McDaniel wore only jersey Nos. 31 and 34 and put up 11.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists 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 seventh of 11 people to wear the No. 34, Boston forward alum Xavier McDaniel. After ending his college career at Wichita State, McDaniel was picked up with the fourth overall selection of the 1985 NBA Draft by the SuperSonics.
The Columbia, South Carolina native would play the first six seasons of his pro career with Seattle. He also played for the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks before he signed with Boston in 1992. His stay with the team would span three seasons, coming to an end when he left the NBA to play abroad.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, McDaniel wore only jersey Nos. 31 and 34 and put up 11.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
