The Boston Celtics 1996-97 were led by Antoine Walker, whose scoring, rebounding, and playmaking made him the team’s primary all-around contributor as a rookie. Dino Radja provided efficient interior scoring and rebounding, while David Wesley added steady perimeter scoring and primary ball-handling. The statistics reflect a team that relied on versatile frontcourt production, balanced offensive contributions, and complementary guard play, but lacked consistent defensive impact.
