Each franchise worst player to have their jersey retired, Boston Celtics: Jim Loscutoff

Stats: 6.2 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.7 apg

At this point, it’s becoming more and more difficult for players who decide to play for the Boston Celtics to find a number. The franchise has had some of the best players in NBA history throw on their white and green uniforms. And, as a result, they have a ton of players who had their jerseys retired.

For the most part, if your number is retired by the Celtics, chances are you’ll be walking into the Hall of Fame at some point. But, as we continued to through each name that’s raised to the rafters, we noticed that Jim Loscutoff simply shouldn’t be there and we consider him the weak link.

Taken with the fourth overall pick in the 1955 NBA Draft, a lot was expected from Loscutoff. Yet, no matter how much playing time and opportunity he was given, he simply wasn’t that good.

The most points Loscutoff ever averaged in a given season was 10.6, the lone year he cracked double figures. He also wasn’t much of a distributor, averaging 0.7 assists per game during his nine years with the team. If you were looking for someone who was at least efficient, don’t look in Loscutoff’s direction. His best shooting season came in his second to last and he only shot 37.5% from the field.

Loscutoff was never an All-Star or All-NBA player. He was simply an insignificant piece on seven championship teams.
