The Boston Celtics 1995-96 were led by Dino Radja, whose efficient interior scoring and rebounding anchored the frontcourt. David Wesley emerged as the primary backcourt scorer and playmaker, while Rick Fox contributed versatile production across multiple areas and Eric Williams added complementary offense. The statistics reflect a team that relied on balanced scoring, solid ball movement, and frontcourt efficiency, but lacked a dominant defensive presence or consistent interior depth.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index Notes Awards
Dino Radja Primary Interior Scorer (1.1) 37.4 High (1.2) 19.7 9.8 1.6 2.4 88.44 Radja was Boston’s interior offensive hub, operating heavily through the low post and punishing smaller frontcourts with size and touch. His importance was obvious when he was sidelined with post-concussion symptoms; contemporary reporting noted that Miami immediately controlled the interior without him, while earlier coverage repeatedly described him as Boston’s leading inside force. Washington Post season coverage None
Rick Fox Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) 32.0 High (1.2) 14.0 5.6 4.6 1.9 65.77 Fox functioned as Boston’s most versatile perimeter piece, moving between secondary creation, rebounding and defensive assignments. A January win over Cleveland showed the breadth of that role: he controlled the game with 16 rebounds and eight assists while also guarding on the wing, rather than simply serving as a scoring option. Los Angeles Times game report None
David Wesley Secondary Lead Guard (1.05) 25.7 Medium (1.1) 12.3 3.2 4.8 1.3 49.90 Wesley gave Boston another attacking guard who could initiate offense when the primary point-guard responsibilities shifted. His late-game value was particularly evident in close situations, including the January Sacramento win when he drew three free throws on a late three-point attempt to keep Boston alive before Dee Brown finished the comeback. Washington Post Celtics coverage None
Dana Barros Movement Shooting Specialist (1.05) 29.1 Medium (1.1) 13.0 2.4 3.8 0.7 45.97 Barros stretched defenses well beyond the arc and was given unusual freedom to hunt threes, even when the broader offense was struggling. His three-point streak became such a prominent storyline that M.L. Carr deliberately kept him involved late in games to preserve it, illustrating how central his shooting gravity was to Boston’s perimeter attack. Washington Post Barros report None
Todd Day Microwave Wing Scorer (1.0) 23.0 High (1.2) 12.0 2.8 1.4 1.8 39.60 Day supplied volatile scoring punch from the wing, with Boston willing to let him attack when the offense became stagnant. His 41-point eruption against Minnesota included a remarkable 24-point quarter, and Carr openly said the Celtics had ridden Day’s scoring that night, a good illustration of the green light he could receive. Washington Post game coverage None
Dee Brown Veteran Lead Guard (1.0) 24.5 Medium (1.1) 10.7 2.1 2.2 1.4 36.08 Brown remained an important organizing guard despite a volatile place in the rotation. After publicly asking for a trade, he returned to the starting lineup and immediately produced 18 points in a win over Cleveland, showing how quickly Boston could restore him to a larger ball-handling role when the team needed stability. Los Angeles Times Brown report None
Eric Williams Physical Wing Scoring Reserve (1.0) 23.0 Medium (1.1) 10.7 3.4 1.1 1.1 35.86 Williams brought a physical, direct style to Boston’s wing rotation, attacking the basket rather than relying heavily on perimeter shooting. His role grew because the Celtics needed inexpensive athleticism around Radja and Fox, and he was capable of supplying scoring bursts when Boston’s second unit created transition opportunities. Washington Post game coverage None
Greg Minor Athletic Secondary Creator (1.05) 22.6 Medium (1.1) 9.6 3.3 1.9 0.6 35.57 Minor gave Boston an athletic attacking option who could generate offense without dominating possessions. His most memorable moments came in bursts rather than sustained usage, including a late-season game-winning shot against Denver, reinforcing the sense that Boston viewed him as a capable pressure scorer when the offense needed another spark. Reddit NBA archive discussing the game-winning performance None
Eric Montross Starting Interior Screener (1.05) 23.5 Medium (1.1) 7.2 5.8 0.7 0.8 33.50 Montross served primarily as a physical interior presence, setting screens, occupying the paint and providing dependable rebounding rather than functioning as a featured scorer. His eventual inclusion in the trade that moved Boston from the ninth pick to the sixth pick also showed how the organization viewed him as a useful but expendable young frontcourt piece. Dallas Morning News draft retrospective None
Sherman Douglas Veteran Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.0) 23.4 Low (1.0) 9.8 2.3 3.9 0.2 32.40 Douglas was a veteran pick-and-roll guard whose value centered on ball control and half-court organization rather than perimeter scoring. His Boston stint was brief, and he was traded to Milwaukee during the season, reflecting the Celtics’ willingness to reshuffle the backcourt while trying to find a sustainable offensive hierarchy. Los Angeles Times Celtics archive None
Pervis Ellison Interior Defensive Anchor (1.0) 20.7 Medium (1.1) 5.3 6.5 0.9 2.0 29.40 Ellison’s role was built around interior defense, rebounding and protecting the paint rather than offensive volume. Boston’s reliance on him was particularly apparent whenever the frontcourt was depleted; contemporary reporting repeatedly grouped him with the injured bigs whose absence left the Celtics badly undersized against larger teams. Los Angeles Times Celtics report None
Alton Lister Veteran Rim-Protection Reserve (1.0) 11.4 Low (1.0) 2.3 4.4 0.3 0.8 15.60 Lister was a specialist reserve whose job was straightforward: occupy the paint, rebound and provide veteran size. His value became more practical than statistical as Boston’s frontcourt deteriorated, with the Celtics using him as one of several emergency interior options rather than asking him to carry an offensive load. Yahoo Sports historical Celtics feature None
Junior Burrough Developmental Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) 8.1 Low (1.0) 3.1 1.8 0.2 0.4 11.00 Burrough was a developmental forward operating on the edge of Boston’s rotation, with his minutes largely dependent on frontcourt availability. Contemporary season coverage is limited, but the broader roster context shows why a second-round rookie could receive spot minutes on a Celtics team constantly searching for functional size and athleticism. None
Thomas Hamilton Emergency Power Center (1.0) 6.4 Low (1.0) 2.3 2.0 0.1 0.8 10.40 Hamilton was an extreme emergency interior option, appearing only after spending much of the season unavailable. His NBA debut came in March, when he produced two blocked shots in limited action; that defensive activity captures the narrow role Boston envisioned for a massive center thrown into a badly depleted rotation. None
Doug Smith Veteran Frontcourt Depth (1.0) 5.4 Low (1.0) 1.9 1.3 0.2 0.2 7.20 Smith was used strictly as frontcourt depth rather than as a regular offensive piece. Independent season-specific reporting on his Boston stint is limited, but the Celtics’ constant reshuffling of their reserve bigs left players such as Smith competing for brief minutes behind Radja, Montross, Ellison and Lister. None
Larry Sykes End-of-Rotation Power Forward (1.0) 2.0 Low (1.0) 0.0 2.0 0.0 0.0 4.00 Sykes had virtually no established rotation role, appearing for only a single regular-season game. Contemporary independent coverage of his Boston stint is extremely limited, so there is little reliable reporting beyond the broader picture of a Celtics roster repeatedly cycling through reserve frontcourt bodies. None
Charles Claxton Emergency Shot-Blocking Center (1.0) 2.3 Low (1.0) 0.7 0.7 0.0 0.3 3.40 Claxton was an emergency center rather than a genuine rotation fixture, with Boston turning to him only briefly. His short appearance fits the larger season-long pattern of the Celtics searching for additional size behind an injury-affected group of established big men. None
Todd Mundt Deep-Rotation Center (1.0) 3.7 Low (1.0) 0.7 0.3 0.1 0.2 2.60 Mundt occupied the deepest part of Boston’s center rotation and saw only scattered minutes. Limited independent season-specific reporting is available on his role, but the Celtics’ repeated need for reserve centers made his presence primarily functional: absorb a few possessions, provide size and keep the regular frontcourt from being overextended. None
Team Totals Boston Celtics 242.7 — 103.6 42.4 21.9 13.0 — Boston’s 1995-96 rotation was built around Radja’s interior scoring, Fox’s two-way versatility and a crowded collection of guards and reserve bigs. The season’s reporting repeatedly emphasized instability, defensive problems and the difficulty of finding a dependable frontcourt combination, themes that help explain the unusually broad distribution of minutes across the roster. 33-49; Missed Playoffs
