CHICAGO -- Chicago Bulls rookie Dalen Terry will wear jersey No. 25 during the season as a tribute to a pair of influences to his basketball career -- Chicago high school legend Benji Wilson and current Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
Terry, who the Bulls selected No.18 overall in last week's NBA draft, wore No. 4 in college at Arizona, but that number was retired in Chicago for the late-Jerry Sloan. So, Terry pivoted to No. 25, which Wilson wore at Simeon High School before he was shot and killed at age 17, and Kerr wore both while playing at Arizona and during his playing career with the Bulls.
