Boston Celtics 1994-95 Roster and Statistics

Last Updated on September 16, 2026 by Mat Diekhake

League Search Page > NBA > Boston Celtics > Roster & Statistics

The Boston Celtics 1994-95 were led by Dino Radja, whose efficient scoring and rebounding anchored the frontcourt, while Dee Brown provided the primary backcourt scoring and playmaking. Rick Fox contributed versatile production on both ends, and Dominique Wilkins added another reliable scoring option. The statistics reflect a balanced offensive team with multiple contributors, solid rebounding, and complementary perimeter play, but without a dominant defensive presence.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Regular Season Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name	Role Tier	MPG	Usage Tier	PPG	RPG	APG	STK (SPG + BPG)	Impact Index	Notes	Awards
Dino Radja	Primary Interior Scoring Hub (1.1)	32.5	High (1.2)	17.2	8.7	1.7	2.2	78.67	Low-post scoring and interior rebounding made Radja the Celtics’ most dependable frontcourt weapon, with his offense often built around deep seals and touch around the basket. His 17-point, 17-rebound performance against Houston late in the season showed the kind of interior control Boston could get from him even when the perimeter offense stalled. Washington Post coverage	None
Sherman Douglas	Veteran Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05)	31.5	High (1.2)	14.7	2.6	6.9	1.2	64.01	Half-court organization was Douglas’ defining responsibility, with his value coming from getting Boston into its sets and creating shots for others rather than simply hunting his own offense. Milwaukee specifically acquired him later in the year because coach Mike Dunleavy viewed him as a veteran point guard capable of running a team and providing leadership. Washington Post	None
Dominique Wilkins	Veteran Offensive Focal Point (1.1)	31.5	High (1.1)	17.8	5.2	2.2	1.0	63.40	Wilkins remained Boston’s headline scoring option, but the role was increasingly built around isolation scoring and perimeter creation rather than the overwhelming athletic attack of his Atlanta peak. Retrospective Boston reporting described the signing as a mismatch between Wilkins’ desire to run the show and a Celtics team that needed a more collective style, helping explain why the partnership lasted only one season. Boston Globe Magazine	None
Dee Brown	Primary Backcourt Creator (1.05)	35.3	High (1.2)	15.6	3.2	3.8	2.0	61.99	Brown carried a much larger offensive burden than his earlier Celtics role suggested, combining downhill attacks with perimeter shooting and late-game creation. His buzzer-beating drive against Sacramento was especially revealing: after previously passing away a late possession, Brown deliberately attacked the rim himself for the winning basket. Los Angeles Times	None
Eric Montross	Starting Interior Presence (1.05)	29.7	Medium (1.1)	10.0	7.3	0.5	1.2	43.89	Montross supplied Boston with a traditional interior role built around screening, post positioning and rebounding rather than perimeter creation. As a rookie, he was immediately asked to anchor major frontcourt minutes, and his physical paint work earned him a place on the 1995 All-Rookie Second Team despite the Celtics’ limited supporting cast.	NBA Rookie Challenge (1995); All-Rookie Second Team (1995)
David Wesley	Secondary Pick-and-Roll Guard (1.05)	27.1	Medium (1.1)	7.4	2.3	5.2	1.8	38.58	Wesley functioned as a second organizer beside Boston’s other guards, with enough shooting range to punish defenses while keeping the ball moving. His defensive pressure could matter too; during the final Boston Garden game against the Lakers, he forced the ball loose from Nick Van Exel in the backcourt, creating a critical late possession. Los Angeles Times	None
Xavier McDaniel	Physical Wing Enforcer (1.1)	21.0	Medium (1.1)	8.6	4.4	1.6	0.7	33.66	McDaniel had become a very different player from the Seattle scorer of his earlier career, serving primarily as a physical reserve forward and defensive presence. His Boston role was increasingly limited by knee problems, and contemporary retrospective discussion of the season describes him as a backup behind Wilkins and Fox rather than a featured offensive player. Reddit VintageNBA discussion	None
Rick Fox	Versatile Wing Connector (1.05)	19.6	Medium (1.0)	8.8	2.9	2.6	1.4	32.97	Fox provided connective play on the wing, moving the ball, defending multiple positions and supplying occasional perimeter scoring without demanding many possessions. His reduced starting role reflected Boston’s crowded forward rotation after Wilkins arrived, but his ability to contribute across several areas kept him useful in a team searching for balance.	None
Pervis Ellison	Backup Paint Anchor (1.0)	19.7	Medium (1.1)	6.8	5.6	0.6	1.4	31.68	Ellison’s minutes were centered on interior defense, rebounding and physical paint play, giving Boston a second legitimate defensive big behind Montross and Radja. His 2.3 offensive rebounds per game fit that role particularly well, while his 1.0 block showed the Celtics were using him as a genuine rim deterrent rather than merely a reserve scorer.	None
Derek Strong	Rebounding Power Forward (1.05)	19.2	Medium (1.0)	6.3	5.4	0.6	0.5	26.88	Strong was essentially a working-class frontcourt piece, asked to rebound, defend and finish around the basket without needing plays called for him. Boston acquired him from Milwaukee alongside Blue Edwards, and his physical style gave the Celtics another option when their forward rotation needed toughness rather than additional perimeter shooting. Deseret News	None
Blue Edwards	Athletic Transition Wing (1.0)	16.4	Low (1.0)	7.1	2.1	1.5	0.9	23.20	Edwards brought athleticism and open-floor scoring to a crowded Boston wing group, but his season was interrupted by the midseason trade that sent him to Utah. The Jazz valued his high-flying style enough to reacquire him from Boston for Jay Humphries, despite Edwards having already changed teams once that season. Deseret News	None
Greg Minor	Efficient Scoring Wing Reserve (1.05)	15.0	Low (1.0)	6.0	2.2	1.0	0.8	21.00	Minor was a young scoring wing used in short bursts, with his value coming from attacking space rather than running the offense. One November loss to Houston showed the upside of that role when he led Boston with 21 points, giving the Celtics a useful offensive jolt from the second unit. Washington Post	None
Acie Earl	Rim-Protection Reserve (1.0)	6.9	Low (1.0)	2.2	1.5	0.1	0.5	8.60	Earl was a deep rotation center whose main theoretical value came from size and shot-blocking rather than offensive creation. His opportunity was sharply reduced from his rookie season, and Boston’s crowded group of Montross, Radja and Ellison left him fighting for brief interior minutes.	None
Tony Dawson	Emergency Wing Shooter (1.0)	6.5	Low (1.0)	4.0	1.5	0.5	0.0	12.00	Dawson’s role was almost entirely situational, with Boston using him for only two appearances. Independent season-specific coverage is extremely limited, so there is little reliable evidence of a sustained tactical role beyond emergency perimeter depth.	None
Tony Harris	Emergency Scoring Guard (1.0)	6.0	Low (1.0)	4.7	0.0	0.0	0.0	9.40	Harris was a short-term backcourt emergency option rather than a regular part of the Celtics’ rotation. He appeared in only three games, and the limited contemporary coverage available does not support assigning him a larger tactical responsibility than brief scoring relief.	None
Jay Humphries	Veteran Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0)	8.7	Low (1.0)	1.7	0.5	1.7	0.3	8.40	Humphries arrived in Boston during a difficult late-career stretch and barely had time to establish himself before the season ended. The trade itself reflected his declining role: contemporary reporting noted that he had spent much of the season injured and had been ineffective when available before Utah moved him to Boston. Deseret News	None
James Blackwell	Deep-Rotation Ball Handler (1.0)	6.8	Low (1.0)	1.6	0.9	0.7	0.3	7.00	Blackwell was an end-of-rotation guard whose opportunities were confined to nine appearances. Contemporary independent reporting on his specific Boston role is extremely limited, making it difficult to identify a more substantial tactical assignment beyond providing emergency backcourt minutes.	None
Team Totals	Boston Celtics	241.5	—	102.8	42.4	21.7	11.9	—	Boston’s 1994-95 offense was split between Wilkins’ veteran shot creation, Radja’s interior scoring and Brown and Douglas handling much of the perimeter organization. The roster reached the playoffs but remained uneven, with the late-season rotation changes and crowded forward group reflecting a franchise still searching for a post-Bird-era identity.	35-47; Eastern Conference First Round

Dominique Wilkins	Veteran Offensive Focal Point (1.1)	37.5	High (1.2)	19.0	10.8	2.0	1.3	87.38	Wilkins remained Boston’s primary shot creator, but his playoff value went beyond scoring. He attacked Orlando’s front line relentlessly and finished the series with double-digit rebounding, including 18 boards in the final Boston Garden game; his ability to generate offense while crashing the glass was one of the few consistent advantages Boston had against Orlando’s bigger lineup. (Basketball Reference)	None
Dee Brown	Lead Perimeter Creator (1.05)	43.0	High (1.2)	18.8	5.0	4.8	1.6	76.10	Brown was essentially playing point guard and scoring guard at the same time, logging 43 minutes a night while carrying heavy pick-and-roll and perimeter creation duties. The defining performance came in Game 2, when he scored 21 points and repeatedly hit big shots as Boston stole home court; the Celtics needed his shooting and ball pressure because Orlando’s size made interior offense difficult. (Basketball Reference)	None
Sherman Douglas	Playoff Floor General (1.05)	42.0	High (1.2)	15.0	5.0	8.3	1.3	74.59	Douglas was Boston’s primary half-court organizer, and the enormous 42-minute workload reflected how little the Celtics trusted their other ball-handling options. His 15-assist Game 2 was the clearest example of the role: he controlled tempo, repeatedly created advantages for Brown and Wilkins, and helped Boston turn a 47-point opening-game humiliation into a road victory. New York Times reporting on Game 2	None
Dino Radja	Primary Low-Post Scoring Hub (1.05)	38.3	High (1.2)	15.0	7.0	2.3	2.3	67.03	Radja was Boston’s main interior scoring outlet, with the Celtics repeatedly going to his post game when Orlando’s perimeter defense pushed the ball away from the guards. He played 47 minutes in the elimination game and battled through Orlando’s size, while his passing from the block gave Boston another way to punish double teams. (Basketball Reference)	None
Derek Strong	Rebounding Power Forward (1.0)	20.3	Low (1.0)	2.8	6.0	0.8	1.1	21.40	Strong’s playoff job was almost entirely physical: rebound, defend and give Boston another body against Orlando’s enormous front line. He moved into the starting lineup for Game 1 and later became an important reserve, grabbing eight rebounds in both Games 3 and 4; his offensive involvement was minimal, but his willingness to battle inside kept him useful. (Basketball Reference)	None
Pervis Ellison	Defensive Paint Specialist (1.0)	17.0	Medium (1.1)	6.0	4.3	0.5	1.8	25.20	Ellison was the Celtics’ most disruptive reserve big, particularly when Boston needed extra interior resistance against Shaquille O’Neal and Horace Grant. His Game 3 performance was especially valuable: he came off the bench for 10 rebounds and three blocks, giving Boston a defensive lift while the starters struggled to contain Orlando’s size. (RealGM Basketball)	None
Xavier McDaniel	Veteran Defensive Wing Reserve (1.0)	14.8	Low (1.0)	3.3	1.5	1.3	0.0	12.20	McDaniel had become a very different player from the high-volume scorer he was earlier in his career, serving mostly as a physical reserve forward. His minutes were tightly controlled in the series, and the limited offensive role reflected Boston’s preference for Brown, Douglas and Wilkins to handle creation while McDaniel supplied toughness and positional versatility. Vintage NBA retrospective on McDaniel’s Boston role	None
Eric Montross	Starting Screen-and-Size Center (1.05)	15.5	Low (1.0)	3.3	2.3	0.0	0.0	11.76	Montross opened the series as Boston’s starting center, but Orlando’s size and his foul trouble steadily squeezed his role. He was still used for screens, interior positioning and physical defense, yet by the final game he played only seven minutes as Boston increasingly relied on Radja and Strong to survive the matchup. (Basketball Reference)	NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1995)
Acie Earl	Emergency Rim-Protection Center (1.0)	10.0	Low (1.0)	2.0	2.0	0.0	1.0	10.00	Earl’s role was strictly situational, with Boston using him for a single ten-minute appearance when additional size was required. The lack of offensive responsibility was deliberate: the Celtics were looking for paint defense and rebounding rather than another creator, and his brief playoff appearance never developed into a regular matchup role. ESPN player profile and career context	None
Greg Minor	Young Scoring Wing Reserve (1.0)	9.3	Low (1.0)	2.8	0.3	0.5	0.6	8.40	Minor was the young athletic wing at the edge of Boston’s playoff rotation, used primarily when the Celtics needed fresh legs or another perimeter body. His minutes disappeared late in games as the series tightened, leaving him with a very narrow offensive role behind Brown, Wilkins and the veteran forwards. (Basketball Reference)	None
Team Totals	Boston Celtics	240.0	—	86.3	42.5	20.3	9.8	—	**Boston’s playoff rotation was built around extreme minutes for Brown, Douglas, Wilkins and Radja, with the coaching staff constantly adjusting the frontcourt to survive Orlando’s size. The Celtics stole Game 2 on the road but ultimately lost the series 3-1, with Orlando’s interior strength and Boston’s limited offensive depth becoming decisive over four games.
