You don’t win an NBA title without many top players. The Celtics certainly proved that to be true last season.
Boston had one of the more dominant seasons in recent memory, recording 64 wins in the regular season before going 16-3 in the playoffs to win the NBA title. Throughout the Celtics’ championship run, they were lauded for their top-end talent, particularly their starting lineup and a key player off the bench.
So, it’s understandable that the Celtics would be well-represented on several annual top player lists ahead of the 2024-25 season. Let’s take a look at where the Celtics’ top players rank among their peers in the league in top 100 player rankings done by ESPN, The Ringer, CBS Sports, and Hoops Hype.
