68 jersey numbers have graced the Boston Celtics since the BAA days, with 25 retired in honor of storied eras. The No. 30 thread centers on Todd Lichti, the fourth wearer of that digit for Boston, whose four-game window with the Celtics capped a career that began after Stanford and a 1989 Nuggets pick (No. 15). Lichti contributed 4.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game in Boston, a snapshot of a franchise built on roster churn and depth.

For fantasy-minded readers, the piece isn’t about a current star but about how a long-running franchise’s historic numbers shape its guard rotation and bench dynamics over time. The No. 30 lineage illustrates a culture of multi-era turnover rather than a single dynasty-era anchor, a reminder that even brief stints can become part of a club’s numerical lore and influence how we view past quickly-assembled contributions in the fantasy landscape.
