Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Chris Paul Starter / Star [1.1] 38.0 High [1.2] 18.7 4.2 10.7 2.3 94.83 Ball-dominant playmaker who dictated the Hornets’ entire offensive rhythm, leaning heavily on pick-and-roll orchestration and mid-range pull-ups. Paul’s court vision powered one of the league’s most efficient half-court attacks, and he again finished among the NBA leaders in assists while pairing it with disruptive perimeter defense. NBA All-Star 2010
David West Starter / Star [1.1] 36.4 High [1.2] 19.0 7.5 3.0 1.6 81.03 Face-up scoring power forward who served as Paul’s primary partner in the two-man game. West lived in the mid-range and elbow areas, punishing defenders with jumpers and strong post positioning while quietly adding playmaking out of double teams.  
Emeka Okafor Starter / Star [1.1] 28.9 Medium [1.1] 10.4 9.0 0.7 2.2 54.27 Interior anchor whose contributions leaned toward physical defense and rebounding rather than offensive volume. Okafor controlled the glass, blocked shots around the rim, and finished efficiently on dump-offs created by Paul’s penetration.  
Darren Collison Key Contributor [1.05] 27.8 High [1.2] 12.4 2.5 5.7 1.1 54.68 Rookie guard who unexpectedly carried a starting workload when Paul missed significant time. Collison pushed the pace and proved comfortable running the same pick-and-roll system, posting strong assist numbers and several high-scoring games during that stretch. 4th in NBA Rookie of the Year Voting 2010
Marcus Thornton Key Contributor [1.05] 25.6 High [1.2] 14.5 2.9 1.6 1.0 50.40 Aggressive scoring guard whose green light off the bench changed the team’s offensive tone. Thornton attacked defenders with pull-up jumpers and confident three-point shooting, giving New Orleans a microwave scorer capable of heating up quickly. 10th in NBA Sixth Man of the Year Voting 2010
Peja Stojaković Starter / Star [1.1] 31.4 Medium [1.1] 12.6 3.7 1.5 0.9 45.01 Veteran perimeter sniper who stretched defenses with deep shooting range and quick off-ball movement. Even late in his career, Stojaković’s spacing opened driving lanes for Paul and the guards.  
Darius Songaila Key Contributor [1.05] 18.8 Medium [1.1] 7.2 3.1 0.9 1.0 28.26 Skilled reserve big who provided reliable half-court scoring from the bench. Songaila leaned on short jumpers and crafty post footwork, helping stabilize the frontcourt rotation when starters rested.  
Devin Brown Starter / Star [1.1] 24.8 Medium [1.1] 9.7 2.8 1.5 0.9 36.05 Veteran wing inserted into the starting lineup for much of the season, mainly tasked with defensive assignments and spot-up shooting. Brown filled a utility role while the team navigated injuries in the backcourt.  
James Posey Key Contributor [1.05] 22.5 Low [1.0] 5.2 4.3 1.5 0.7 24.57 Defense-first veteran who functioned as a glue guy on the wing. Posey guarded multiple positions and spaced the floor from the corners, relying more on experience and positioning than scoring volume. NBA Champion 2006; NBA Champion 2008
Morris Peterson Key Contributor [1.05] 21.2 Low [1.0] 7.1 2.7 0.9 0.6 23.73 Rotation shooter used to provide spacing around Paul’s playmaking. Peterson’s offense largely came from catch-and-shoot threes and transition looks while he handled secondary wing defense.  
Bobby Brown Bench [1.0] 14.9 Medium [1.1] 6.6 0.8 2.1 0.4 21.78 Scoring-minded backup guard whose role leaned toward instant offense. Brown attacked off the dribble and looked for pull-up jumpers when the second unit needed a spark.  
Aaron Gray Bench [1.0] 10.9 Low [1.0] 3.6 3.8 0.8 0.9 18.20 Physical reserve center who handled the gritty work—screens, rebounds, and interior defense. Gray’s efficiency came from simple finishes around the basket rather than self-created offense.  
Julian Wright Bench [1.0] 12.8 Low [1.0] 3.8 2.1 0.6 0.7 14.40 Athletic forward whose minutes came mostly from defensive energy and transition activity. Wright used his length to contest shots and occasionally spark fast breaks.  
Hilton Armstrong Bench [1.0] 13.3 Low [1.0] 2.8 3.4 0.9 0.8 15.80 Reserve big whose responsibilities focused on rim protection and rebounding. Armstrong’s offensive touches were limited to put-backs and simple finishes.  
Sean Marks Bench [1.0] 5.4 Low [1.0] 0.7 1.6 0.1 0.2 5.20 Veteran depth center used sparingly to provide size and positional defense in brief frontcourt appearances. NBA Champion 2003
Jason Hart Bench [1.0] 4.3 Low [1.0] 0.5 0.5 1.3 0.6 5.80 Emergency point guard who appeared in only a few games, primarily tasked with basic ball movement and defensive pressure during limited minutes.
