|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antoine Walker | Starter/Star | 41.9 | High | 23.4 | 8.9 | 5.5 | 2.3 | 105.34 | Playmaking power forward was the hub of Boston’s offense, often initiating possessions from the perimeter rather than the block. Walker combined volume scoring with strong rebounding and passing, giving the Celtics an unusually versatile frontcourt creator. | NBA All-Star 2001 |
| Paul Pierce | Starter/Star | 38.0 | High | 25.3 | 6.4 | 3.1 | 2.5 | 98.74 | Shot-creating wing steadily emerged as the franchise cornerstone. Pierce mixed efficient perimeter scoring with aggressive drives, and his improved all-around game pushed him into the MVP conversation while carrying a major offensive burden. | MVP Voting (13th) 2001 |
| Bryant Stith | Starter/Star | 32.1 | Medium | 9.7 | 3.6 | 2.2 | 1.4 | 40.82 | Defensive-minded guard filled a stabilizing role on the perimeter. Stith rarely dominated possessions, but his ability to defend opposing scorers and hit open jumpers made him an important veteran presence. | — |
| Kenny Anderson | Starter/Star | 25.7 | Medium | 7.5 | 2.2 | 4.1 | 1.4 | 36.30 | Floor general duties shifted to Anderson whenever healthy, and his passing helped organize an offense built around Walker and Pierce. His scoring was secondary to his playmaking and tempo control. | — |
| Vitaly Potapenko | Key Contributor | 23.2 | Low | 7.5 | 6.0 | 0.8 | 0.9 | 31.92 | Traditional interior big man handled much of the physical work around the basket. Potapenko set hard screens, battled on the glass, and provided dependable frontcourt minutes throughout the season. | — |
| Tony Battie | Key Contributor | 21.1 | Low | 6.5 | 5.8 | 0.4 | 2.2 | 31.29 | Athletic rim protector brought a different dimension to Boston’s frontcourt. His shot blocking stood out, and he often cleaned up defensive possessions with length and mobility around the paint. | — |
| Eric Williams | Key Contributor | 21.5 | Low | 6.6 | 2.6 | 1.4 | 1.0 | 24.78 | Physical wing accepted a low-usage role and focused on defense, hustle plays, and spot-up shooting. His versatility allowed Boston to deploy him across multiple perimeter matchups. | — |
| Milt Palacio | Bench | 19.7 | Low | 5.9 | 1.8 | 2.6 | 0.8 | 22.20 | Quick reserve guard injected pace into second-unit lineups. Palacio’s value came from penetration, ball movement, and keeping offensive possessions organized when starters rested. | — |
| Randy Brown | Key Contributor | 22.9 | Low | 4.1 | 1.8 | 2.9 | 1.3 | 21.21 | Defensive specialist worked primarily as a complementary guard, bringing toughness at the point of attack and helping pressure opposing ball handlers. | — |
| Mark Blount | Key Contributor | 17.2 | Low | 3.9 | 3.6 | 0.5 | 1.8 | 20.58 | Emerging center showed flashes of the athleticism that would later earn him a larger role. Most of his production came through rim running, rebounding, and shot blocking. | — |
| Doug Overton | Bench | 20.6 | Low | 5.4 | 2.1 | 2.7 | 0.6 | 21.60 | Veteran guard appeared briefly but provided reliable decision-making and backcourt depth. His experience helped steady lineups during a transitional season. | — |
| Chris Carr | Bench | 8.8 | Low | 4.8 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 13.20 | Bench scorer made the most of limited opportunities, supplying efficient shooting and energy in short stretches. His 45.9% mark from three gave Boston occasional spacing off the bench. | — |
| Rick Brunson | Bench | 20.3 | Low | 3.7 | 1.3 | 3.4 | 1.1 | 19.00 | Pass-first reserve guard focused on distributing the ball and initiating offense. His own scoring struggled, but he contributed useful playmaking in a small sample of games. | — |
| Chris Herren | Bench | 16.3 | Low | 3.3 | 0.8 | 2.2 | 0.6 | 13.80 | Creative ball handler flashed passing ability, though inconsistent shooting limited his offensive impact. His role remained that of a developmental reserve guard. | — |
| Adrian Griffin | Bench | 8.6 | Low | 2.1 | 2.0 | 0.6 | 0.5 | 10.40 | Defensive-oriented wing carved out minutes through effort and versatility rather than scoring. Griffin’s willingness to guard multiple positions helped him stick in the rotation. | — |
| Walter McCarty | Bench | 8.0 | Low | 2.2 | 1.4 | 0.7 | 0.3 | 9.20 | Stretch-forward skills were still developing, but McCarty provided occasional floor spacing and frontcourt depth in a limited reserve role. | — |
| Jérôme Moïso | Bench | 5.6 | Low | 1.5 | 1.8 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 7.40 | Raw young big man spent most of the season learning NBA physicality. His minutes were limited, though flashes of mobility and length remained intriguing. | — |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 241.8 | — | 94.6 | 39.8 | 20.8 | 13.5 | — | Boston’s offense revolved around the high-usage pairing of Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce, with veteran guards providing support and a deep rotation of defensive-minded role players handling much of the complementary work. The season marked another step in Pierce’s rise toward NBA stardom. | NBA All-Star 2001: Antoine Walker; MVP Voting (13th) 2001: Paul Pierce |
