League Search Page > NBA > Washington Wizards > Roster & Statistics

The 1995–96 Washington Wizards were led by Chris Webber and Juwan Howard, whose scoring and rebounding established a productive frontcourt foundation. Calbert Cheaney supplied consistent perimeter offense, while Mark Price directed the attack with efficient playmaking and outside shooting. Washington’s strengths came from its balanced scoring and versatile forwards, though inconsistent defense and limited interior depth prevented the team from sustaining success.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index Notes Awards
Chris Webber Primary Frontcourt Creator (1.1) 37.2 High 23.7 7.6 5.0 2.4 102.17 Webber was still the Bullets’ most naturally gifted offensive big when healthy, combining face-up scoring with playmaking from the frontcourt. His shoulder problems turned what looked like a major two-man attack with Howard into a fragmented season; Washington’s reporting later noted that he and several other core players were never healthy together for long. (The Washington Post) —
Juwan Howard Primary Scoring Forward (1.1) 40.7 High 22.1 8.1 4.4 1.3 94.78 Howard became the dependable offensive centerpiece during a season in which Washington repeatedly lost other major pieces to injury. He carried a huge workload, and his late-season scoring surge was particularly striking, with contemporary coverage highlighting his ability to keep producing while Webber, Pack and Price were unavailable. (The Washington Post) NBA All-Star (1996); All-NBA Third Team (1996)
Robert Pack Lead Penetration Guard (1.05) 35.0 High 18.1 4.3 7.8 2.0 81.14 Pack was acquired to give Washington an attacking point guard and immediately carried a substantial creation burden. His season was derailed by a nerve injury suffered in practice, leaving the Bullets without one of their best downhill playmakers for the final 51 games and forcing the coaching staff into a constantly changing backcourt. (The Washington Post) —
Gheorghe Mureșan Interior Offensive Anchor (1.05) 29.5 Medium 14.5 9.6 0.7 3.0 64.22 Mureșan gave Washington a very different kind of offensive focal point, using his enormous size to command attention around the basket while also protecting the rim. Later playoff coverage described the Bullets’ inside game as dependent on getting him established and healthy, with opponents having to account for him with multiple defenders. (The Washington Post) NBA Most Improved Player (1996)
Calbert Cheaney Starting Wing Scorer (1.05) 33.2 Medium 15.1 3.4 2.2 1.3 50.82 Cheaney operated as the steady perimeter scoring option around Washington’s more imposing frontcourt pieces. The Washington Post viewed him as someone who could become overlooked beside the star-quality interior group, while also noting that Washington needed more force and consistency from him on the wing. (The Washington Post) —
Rasheed Wallace Versatile Defensive Forward (1.05) 27.5 Medium 10.1 4.7 1.3 1.4 40.43 Wallace entered the season as a highly versatile defensive prospect rather than a finished offensive player. Washington specifically valued his ability to play either forward spot and potentially center, with his shot-blocking and defensive mobility viewed as a natural fit beside Webber and Howard. (The Washington Post) NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1996)
Brent Price Rotation Playmaking Guard (1.05) 25.2 Medium 10.0 2.8 5.1 1.0 43.66 Price became more important as injuries repeatedly tore through the Washington backcourt. Contemporary reporting described him as returning from a long layoff while Pack was sidelined, and coach Jim Lynam specifically cited Price among the players who seized opportunities created by the team’s injury problems. (The Washington Post) —
Tim Legler Movement Shooting Specialist (1.0) 23.1 Medium 9.4 1.8 1.8 0.8 30.36 Legler gave Washington a pure spacing threat whose value went beyond his modest scoring line. He led the NBA in three-point percentage and won the All-Star Weekend three-point contest, establishing himself as a specialist opponents had to track away from the ball. (The Washington Post) NBA Three-Point Contest Champion (1996)
Ledell Eackles Emergency Rotation Wing (1.0) 22.5 Medium 8.6 2.7 1.6 0.6 29.70 Eackles was thrust into a meaningful rotation role after returning to the NBA following two seasons away. His opportunity was a product of Washington’s injury crisis, and coach Lynam singled him out as one of the players who made the most of minutes that had not been expected to come his way. (The Washington Post) —
Mark Price Veteran Floor-Space Creator (1.0) 18.1 Low 8.0 1.0 2.6 0.9 25.00 Price was expected to provide veteran shooting and organization after arriving from Cleveland, but the experiment barely had time to develop. Foot problems limited him to seven games, and Washington’s postseason reporting described his absence as a major part of the season’s backcourt disruption. (The Washington Post) —
Chris Whitney Backup Pick-and-Roll Guard (1.0) 16.0 Low 7.1 1.6 2.4 0.9 24.00 Whitney emerged as a useful second-half guard after beginning the year outside the established NBA rotation. His ability to look for the pass while still threatening open threes helped him earn a guaranteed contract, with later Washington coverage identifying him as a dependable backup option. (The Washington Post) —
Jim McIlvaine Rim-Protection Reserve (1.0) 14.9 Low 2.3 2.9 0.1 2.4 15.40 McIlvaine’s contribution was overwhelmingly defensive, with his size and shot-blocking giving Washington a reserve option behind Mureșan. He became especially important during the injury-heavy stretch, when coach Lynam specifically mentioned him among the players who were forced into larger opportunities than originally planned. (The Washington Post) —
Mitchell Butler Defensive Backcourt Reserve (1.0) 14.1 Low 3.9 1.9 1.1 0.9 15.60 Butler was primarily a depth piece on a roster whose rotation kept changing because of injuries. Washington retained him among its younger supporting players afterward, but contemporary reporting made clear that the team still viewed consistent shooting-guard production as an unresolved weakness. (The Washington Post) —
Kevin Pritchard Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) 11.0 Low 3.5 1.0 3.5 1.0 18.00 Pritchard’s two-game appearance came during an unusually unstable season in which Washington ultimately used 21 players. Contemporary coverage repeatedly framed the roster as a revolving door created by injuries, placing short-term ball-handling options such as Pritchard in an emergency rather than developmental role. (The Washington Post) —
Bob McCann Frontcourt Depth Forward (1.0) 10.5 Low 3.0 2.3 0.4 0.5 12.40 McCann supplied physical frontcourt depth during a season when Washington constantly needed replacement minutes. He was among the players who helped keep the team functional through its injury problems, although his role remained that of a reserve rather than a featured offensive option. (The Washington Post) —
Greg Grant Third-Unit Point Guard (1.0) 13.8 Low 2.4 0.6 2.3 0.8 12.20 Grant’s role was largely situational, providing another ball-handler when Washington’s primary guards were unavailable. The team’s extraordinary injury turnover meant that depth guards were repeatedly needed simply to keep a viable rotation on the floor. (The Washington Post) —
Michael Curry Defensive Wing Reserve (1.0) 6.8 Low 2.0 1.0 0.2 0.2 6.80 Curry saw only brief action in a crowded wing rotation and was essentially an emergency defensive option. Washington’s contemporary coverage focused much more heavily on its lack of consistent wing production than on Curry himself, reflecting how limited his offensive responsibility was. (The Washington Post) —
Jeff Webster Developmental Wing Reserve (1.0) 5.3 Low 1.6 0.6 0.3 0.4 5.80 Webster arrived as a young wing prospect but never established a regular role in Washington’s rotation. The Bullets had acquired him in a transaction that contemporary reporting characterized as more about roster maneuvering than adding an immediate contributor. (The Washington Post) —
Cedric Lewis Emergency Interior Reserve (1.0) 1.3 Low 1.3 0.7 0.0 0.3 4.60 Lewis was a true emergency option during Washington’s injury crisis, appearing in only three games. Contemporary reporting specifically noted that he had not previously played in the NBA when the Bullets were forced to expand their roster to a team-record 21 players. (The Washington Post) —
Bob Thornton Veteran Frontcourt Depth (1.0) 4.4 Low 0.4 1.7 0.0 0.1 4.40 Thornton occupied the far end of Washington’s frontcourt depth chart and saw only scattered minutes. His presence reflected the unusual roster churn of the season, when injuries pushed the Bullets well beyond their normal rotation and required contributions from players with little regular offensive responsibility. (The Washington Post) —
Mike Peplowski Emergency Center Reserve (1.0) 2.5 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.00 Contemporary independent coverage of Peplowski’s two-game stint is extremely limited. His appearance fits the broader pattern documented that season: Washington’s injury problems forced the club to reach unusually deep into its roster simply to maintain enough available bodies. —
Team Totals Washington Bullets 241.5 — 102.5 39.7 22.1 13.4 742.19 The Bullets finished 39-43 despite an unusually unstable rotation. Contemporary reporting noted that 21 players were used, with Webber, Wallace, Mureșan, Price and Pack never all appearing together, while the club still remained in playoff contention into the final week. —
