| Detlef Schrempf | Point-Forward Offensive Hub (1.1) | 37.8 | High (1.2) | 19.1 | 9.5 | 6.0 | 1.3 | 92.4 | Schrempf was the Pacers’ most complete offensive connector, initiating possessions from the forward spot while also carrying a heavy rebounding load. His 19.1 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists made him unusually difficult to scheme against, and contemporary coverage described him as one of Indiana’s central offensive pieces before his offseason trade to Seattle. Sports Illustrated profile on Schrempf | NBA All-Star (1993) |
| Reggie Miller | Primary Perimeter Scoring Engine (1.1) | 36.0 | High (1.2) | 21.2 | 3.1 | 3.2 | 1.8 | 77.4 | Miller was already the Pacers’ defining perimeter threat, stretching defenses with constant movement and a willingness to fire from deep before the three-point shot became a dominant offensive weapon. He erupted for 57 points against Charlotte during the season, while his 167 made threes tied for the league lead and reinforced how much Indiana’s offense depended on his shooting gravity. Sports Illustrated Miller retrospective | — |
| Pooh Richardson | Pass-First Floor General (1.05) | 32.4 | High (1.2) | 10.4 | 3.6 | 7.7 | 1.5 | 53.6 | Richardson operated as a pass-first quarterback rather than a score-first guard, a distinction that was central to Indiana’s decision to acquire him. His 7.7 assists reflected the responsibility of organizing a lineup containing Miller, Schrempf and Smits, while his steady ball-handling allowed the Pacers’ larger scorers to work without constantly initiating their own offense. Washington Post Pacers preview and season context | — |
| Rik Smits | Starting Interior Scoring Option (1.05) | 25.6 | Medium (1.1) | 14.3 | 5.3 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 51.5 | Smits provided Indiana with a dependable half-court interior option, using his size and touch around the lane rather than relying on brute-force post play. The 7-foot-4 center was already established as a full-time starter, and later reporting on his development under Larry Brown noted how his soft shooting touch and mobility became important parts of the Pacers’ offensive structure. Sports Illustrated on Smits’ development | — |
| Dale Davis | Rim-Protecting Interior Enforcer (1.05) | 27.6 | Medium (1.1) | 8.9 | 8.8 | 0.8 | 2.6 | 48.7 | Davis supplied the defensive muscle beside Smits, attacking the offensive glass and protecting the rim without needing touches drawn up for him. His 1.8 blocks were a particularly useful indicator of his responsibilities, and later basketball reporting continued to characterize him as a rebounder and rim protector whose value came from doing the physical work around more established scorers. Sports Illustrated on Dale Davis | — |
| Vern Fleming | Veteran Second-Unit Organizer (1.05) | 20.0 | Medium (1.1) | 9.5 | 2.3 | 3.0 | 0.9 | 33.0 | Fleming had shifted from being a primary starter to a veteran backcourt stabilizer, but his experience still gave Indiana a reliable change of pace behind Richardson. He scored efficiently inside the arc and could keep the offense moving without demanding possessions, which helped preserve the team’s balance when the second unit took the floor. ESPN career archive for Fleming | — |
| George McCloud | Versatile Wing Rotation Piece (1.0) | 19.2 | Low (1.0) | 7.2 | 2.6 | 2.5 | 0.8 | 26.2 | McCloud’s role was built around versatility rather than a single specialty: he could defend on the wing, move the ball and provide occasional perimeter scoring. Earlier reporting had already identified him as a player whose development was being watched closely after a slow start to his career, and this season marked a more useful rotation role alongside Indiana’s veteran core. Washington Post archived Pacers coverage | — |
| Kenny Williams | Athletic Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 14.8 | Low (1.0) | 6.1 | 4.0 | 0.7 | 1.2 | 24.0 | Williams brought useful size and activity from the wing, with his value showing most clearly on the glass rather than through designed offense. Four rebounds in fewer than 15 minutes per game gave Indiana a physical reserve who could compete for loose possessions, while his efficient two-point shooting kept him from becoming an entirely non-scoring option. Reddit Pacers historical discussion | — |
| Sam Mitchell | Blue-Collar Wing Defender (1.0) | 17.3 | Low (1.0) | 7.2 | 3.1 | 0.9 | 0.4 | 23.2 | Mitchell’s job was the unglamorous one: defend, rebound and absorb physical wing minutes without needing the offense built around him. Indiana had specifically valued him as a blue-collar rebounder and defender when acquiring him, and that identity remained intact as he settled into a substantial reserve role during the season. Indiana trade-history analysis | — |
| Malik Sealy | Developing Two-Way Wing Reserve (1.0) | 11.6 | Low (1.0) | 5.7 | 1.9 | 0.8 | 0.7 | 18.2 | Sealy was still a developing wing rather than a finished rotation player, with Indiana using his length and scoring instincts in short bursts. The rookie’s 58 appearances gave him a foothold in the rotation, although his limited minutes meant the Pacers were asking him to learn alongside an established group rather than carry meaningful offensive responsibility.

| LaSalle Thompson | Veteran Interior Stopgap (1.0) | 11.6 | Low (1.0) | 3.8 | 2.8 | 0.5 | 0.9 | 16.0 | Thompson had transitioned into the tough-minded veteran reserve role, providing size, rebounding and defensive experience behind Smits and Davis. His offensive workload was modest, but that was consistent with Indiana’s frontcourt hierarchy; his value was tied more to physical matchups and dependable minutes than shot creation. Washington Post archival coverage | — |
| Sean Green | Deep-Rotation Shooting Guard (1.0) | 6.2 | Low (1.0) | 4.8 | 0.7 | 0.5 | 0.3 | 12.6 | Green saw only brief stretches of court time, leaving him primarily as a depth shooting guard behind Miller. His limited sample nevertheless showed a willingness to shoot when opportunities appeared, but the established perimeter hierarchy gave him little room to develop a consistent offensive role during the season. Basketball-Reference roster archive used only for verification | — |
| Greg Dreiling | Emergency Center Depth (1.0) | 5.6 | Low (1.0) | 1.1 | 1.5 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 6.2 | Dreiling’s contribution was almost entirely emergency interior depth, with Indiana turning to the veteran seven-footer for short stretches behind Smits and Thompson. His offensive responsibilities were extremely narrow, and the limited minutes reflected a roster role based on size and experience rather than regular rotation impact. ESPN Dreiling career archive | — |
| Team Totals | Indiana Pacers | 240.9 | — | 107.8 | 44.8 | 26.1 | 12.4 | 483.0 | Indiana’s offense revolved around Schrempf’s all-around playmaking and Miller’s perimeter scoring, with Richardson organizing the attack and Smits providing interior offense. The roster combined several established scorers with physical frontcourt defenders and veteran reserves, producing a team that finished 41-41 and reached the Eastern Conference first round.

| Reggie Miller | Primary Playoff Scoring Engine (1.1) | 43.8 | High (1.2) | 31.5 | 3.0 | 2.8 | 0.8 | 100.6 | Miller was Indiana’s unmistakable postseason shot-maker, carrying the perimeter offense against New York while playing nearly 44 minutes a night. He repeatedly attacked from the perimeter and used his movement to create clean looks, averaging 31.5 points while shooting 52.6% from three across the four-game series. His 36-point Game 3 helped Indiana force the Knicks into a more uncomfortable defensive game. The New York Times retrospective on Miller’s playoff career | — |
| Rik Smits | Primary Interior Scoring Hub (1.1) | 35.8 | High (1.2) | 22.5 | 8.0 | 1.8 | 2.3 | 88.7 | Smits became Indiana’s inside counterpunch, using his size and soft touch to punish New York when the Knicks concentrated on Miller. His 22.5 points came on 57.8% shooting, and the 7-foot-4 center was particularly effective around the lane and from his developing face-up game. The Pacers needed his scoring because New York’s physical defense made perimeter creation difficult for everyone else. Sports Illustrated retrospective on Smits and the Pacers | — |
| Detlef Schrempf | Point-Forward Playmaking Hub (1.1) | 41.3 | High (1.2) | 19.5 | 5.8 | 7.3 | 0.8 | 88.2 | Schrempf was Indiana’s oversized secondary creator, often functioning as the release valve when the Knicks loaded up on Miller. His 7.3 assists were a major part of the Pacers’ offensive response, and Game 3 showed the full package when he produced 29 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in Indiana’s 116-93 win. He could initiate from the forward spot without needing to dominate every possession. Seattle Times retrospective on Schrempf’s career | NBA All-Star (1993) |
| Dale Davis | Rim-Protection Enforcer (1.05) | 29.3 | Medium (1.1) | 4.3 | 8.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 35.3 | Davis handled the dirty work against New York’s rugged frontcourt, protecting the paint and competing for second chances while the Pacers’ principal scorers carried the offense. His eight rebounds and two combined steals and blocks per game fit that assignment, particularly against a Knicks team built around Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley. His offensive role was deliberately narrow: screen, rebound, finish and defend. Washington Post coverage of the 1993 Pacers-Knicks series | — |
| Vern Fleming | Veteran Backcourt Stabilizer (1.05) | 26.7 | Medium (1.1) | 10.0 | 1.7 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 31.0 | Fleming’s playoff job was to give Indiana another experienced ball-handler and keep the offense functional when Miller or Schrempf needed help initiating. He started all three games he played and supplied efficient secondary scoring, including a 17-point performance in Game 3. The veteran guard’s ability to play alongside Richardson also gave Indiana more flexibility against New York’s pressure. Orlando Sentinel archival coverage | — |
| Pooh Richardson | Pass-First Lead Guard (1.05) | 23.8 | Medium (1.1) | 4.3 | 2.8 | 5.8 | 0.5 | 30.7 | Richardson was primarily an organizer, not another scoring option, and Indiana leaned on his passing to get the ball into Schrempf and Smits. His 5.8 assists in limited scoring minutes underline that responsibility. The Knicks’ physical perimeter defense reduced his scoring opportunities, but his ability to advance the ball and find Indiana’s bigger creators remained useful throughout the series. Los Angeles Times coverage of the 1993 Pacers | — |
| George McCloud | Secondary Wing Connector (1.0) | 19.8 | Low (1.0) | 4.8 | 2.8 | 3.5 | 1.3 | 24.8 | McCloud provided size and secondary playmaking from the wing, but the Knicks’ physical defense made his perimeter shooting difficult. He connected possessions with 3.5 assists and added defensive activity, although his 16.7% three-point shooting shows how little room New York gave Indiana’s supporting shooters. His value was more about keeping the offense moving than creating his own shot. UPI archival playoff coverage | — |
| LaSalle Thompson | Veteran Interior Reserve (1.0) | 18.3 | Low (1.0) | 3.8 | 3.5 | 0.8 | 1.3 | 18.8 | Thompson was asked to absorb physical center minutes against Ewing and give Indiana a veteran interior presence when Smits came out. His offensive responsibilities were minimal, but his rebounding and willingness to battle inside helped preserve the Pacers’ frontcourt rotation. The matchup demanded bodies willing to withstand New York’s physical style, which made Thompson’s experience useful despite the modest scoring role. Chicago Tribune playoff archive | — |
| Sam Mitchell | Physical Wing Specialist (1.0) | 6.3 | Low (1.0) | 3.0 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 6.6 | Mitchell’s minutes were limited, leaving him mainly as a physical defensive option when Indiana wanted another body on the wing. His playoff assignment was not offensive creation; the Pacers had Miller, Schrempf and Smits absorbing those responsibilities. In such a short rotation, Mitchell’s value came from toughness and willingness to defend rather than statistical production. Associated Press archival playoff coverage | — |
| Kenny Williams | Deep-Rotation Forward (1.0) | 5.5 | Low (1.0) | 1.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 6.0 | Williams saw only two games and just 11 total minutes, making him an emergency depth piece rather than part of Indiana’s established postseason rotation. His brief appearances were essentially about providing another athletic forward when matchup or foul trouble required it. The Pacers’ condensed playoff rotation left little opportunity for him to influence the series. | — |
| Greg Dreiling | Emergency Center Depth (1.0) | 2.0 | Low (1.0) | 1.5 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.0 | Dreiling’s role was strictly situational, with only four total playoff minutes across two games. Indiana relied heavily on Smits, Davis and Thompson for the interior workload, leaving the veteran center as insurance in case of foul trouble or a specific matchup. His brief appearance did not materially alter the Pacers’ offensive structure. | — |
| Malik Sealy | Developing Wing Reserve (1.0) | 6.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.7 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 2.8 | Sealy was still a young wing learning the demands of playoff basketball, and the Knicks series offered almost no offensive runway for him. He appeared in three games for only 18 total minutes, functioning mainly as depth behind Indiana’s established perimeter players. The limited role reflected the Pacers’ need for experienced decision-makers in a highly physical first-round matchup. | — |
| Team Totals | Indiana Pacers | 246.3 | — | 102.8 | 36.0 | 24.0 | 10.0 | — | Indiana’s playoff attack was concentrated around Miller, Smits and Schrempf, with the three established creators combining scoring, playmaking and late-clock shot creation. New York won the series 3-1, but Indiana’s Game 3 response showed the team’s offensive ceiling: Schrempf controlled the game as a point forward, Smits punished the interior and Miller repeatedly stretched the Knicks’ defense. | 1993 NBA Playoffs: Eastern Conference First Round |
