Uni #s since 1980

[kjgoo <kjgoo@worldnet.att.net>]

I'm doing this without looking at Drisco's list on his website, so here 
goes.....


> > 4 - Chauncey Billups 

Also David Wesley, Jim Paxson, Alaa Abdelnaby, Larry Robinson -- I think 
Sherm wore it for a couple of games, too.
> 
> 5 - Ron Mercer 

Walton, Bagley, Michael Hawkins

 
> 7 - Dee Brown

Kelvin Upshaw, Andre Turner, Tiny Archibald
 
> 8 - Antoine Walker

Scott Wedman, Kenny Battle 

> 9 - Greg Minor

Nobody since 1980

 
> 11 - Dana Barros

Sam Vincent, Dirk Minniefield, Michael Smith, STOJKO
> 
> 12 - Bruce Bowen

Don Chaney (in 1980), Jerry Sichting, 'Nique, and a host of journeymen: 
 Otis Birdsong, the IMMORTAL A.J. Wynder, Kevin Pritchard, Bart Kofoed, 
Chris Corchiani

> 
> 20 - Tyus Edney

Ray Williams, Darren Daye, Sherm Douglas
> 
> 29 - Pervis Ellison

Nobody since Hank Finkel that I can remember.
 
> 40 - Travis Knight

Dino, Carlos Clark and Terry DOOOOO-rod

 
> 42 - Chris Mills

Dave Popson, Joe Wolf, Marc Acres and Doc Ford
 
> 44 - Tony Massenburg

Rick Fox, Danny Ainge, and Pistol Pete (in 1980). 

> 50 - Lorenzo Coleman

Greg Kite and Matt Wenstrom (the A-Train wore #53).

I believe the only to Celts EVER to have worn this # are Eric Williams 
and Acie Earl.

Did I miss anybody?
