haha, so apparently Aaron Gordon picked 00 because of the fans eyes widening when plays? Funny because that was my reaction when he was drafted at #4. :lol:


Wikipedia has Smart and James Young wearing 13 and 20 for Boston, Embiid wearing 1 for the Sixers, Warren wearing 24 for Phoenix

Vonleh will most likely wear #1.

Not official yet though.

I think Hairston will wear #19.

Also not official yet.

Yes, he's coming to the NBA this year and he'll be wearing #5 just like bboyskinnylegs said.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about the number selection either, but from the article:
It's the family number, worn by each of his three elder brothers in high school and now carried on in tribute to the oldest of the boys, half-brother Todd Westbrook, the first to wear 3, who died following a long battle with cancer in 2004.

“Every time I put that No. 3 on,” Smart said, “it meant something special.”

Still does mean something special, even as 33, the number Smart adopted when he arrived at Oklahoma State and learned that No. 3 had been retired to honor former player Daniel Lawson, one of OSU's 10 killed in the plane crash in Colorado.

“I doubled the 3s,” Smart said. “That's how I look at it, more 3s. And my brother died when he was 33.

“I look at it as No. 3 was done in high school, this is a new stage in my life.

Boston doesn't exactly have a lot of number options to choose from with all the retired numbers, plus the players on the roster. Since 3 is retired for Dennis Johnson and 33 obviously for Larry Bird, he was going to need a new number.
