Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 54 - Dan O'Sullivan (1992-93)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA, with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And for today's article, we will continue with the fourth of six people to wear the No. 54 jersey, big man alum Dan O'Sullivan. After ending his college career at Fordham, O'Sullivan went unselected in the 1990 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Utah Jazz that same year.
The Bronx, New York native played the first season of his NBA career with Utah, leaving the league after, only to return when he signed with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 1992. His stay with the team lasted until he was cut in 1993. During his time suiting up for the Nets, O'Sullivan wore only jersey No.
54 and put up 1. 3 points and as many rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
