I was thinking about this, and I couldn't think of any great Celtics to not win a ring. The best I could come up with was Dino Radja and Dana Barros.
(Ring-winners also include guys who won with other teams a la Antoine Walker)

Easy Ed, maybe.  Or Reggie Lewis - he didn't win a ring, did he?  Did Tiny Archibald win one?  But mainly my thoughts go  to Len Bias - the greatest Celtic never to play for the Celtics.

Reggie or Easy Ed.  Ed had the better career.

Not sure I understood the question...
                    Greatest player who played for the Celtics?
                                       or
                                     
                    Greatest Celtic?

Wilkins was my first thought.

Add the Pistol to that list , too.

My first thought was Lewis and then Radja but Maravic is a strong "candidate"

Greatest Celtics to never win (while Celts):  Ed Macauley, followed by Reggie Lewis

Greatest players who were Celts who never won, period:  Pete Maravich, Dave Bing, Dominique Wilkins, Artis Gilmore (won an ABA title)
