The 1967–68 Indiana Pacers relied on Roger Brown as their leading offensive force, while Bob Netolicky and Freddie Lewis provided consistent secondary scoring and all-around production. Larry Staverman contributed additional perimeter offence, and the frontcourt supplied strong rebounding support. Indiana’s statistical profile reflected a balanced, team-oriented attack with multiple scoring options, effective ball movement, and solid rebounding, although its overall defensive production was less dominant than its offence.

Here is the Indiana Pacers 1967–68 Roster and Regular Season Player Statistics. This was the franchise’s inaugural season in the American Basketball Association (ABA).

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG+BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Roger Brown Alpha – Primary Scorer & Go-to Wing 39.1 High usage (scoring load) 19.6 8.5 4.3 ? (19.6 + 8.5 + 4.3 + STK) ÷ 2 → high As the veteran wing, he was the main offensive driver, generating volume scoring and playmaking — a go-to in crunch moments. In the era web-history of this team (the Indiana Pacers), his scoring and leadership were central.  MVP-7, AS (All-Star)
Freddie Lewis Alpha – Lead Guard & Secondary Scorer/Playmaker 38.4 High usage (balancing scoring + assists) 20.6 5.8 2.4 ? very high As the main backcourt guard, he shouldered much of the scoring and facilitated additional offense — a primary ball-handler and shot-maker, complementing the wing scorer. Known for steady, clutch guard play in this era. AS (All-Star)
Bob Netolicky Beta – Starting Frontcourt All-Arounder 33.6 Moderate-High usage (frontcourt scoring + rebounding) 16.3 11.5 1.0 ? high A dependable PF in the frontcourt, supplying strong rebounding and interior scoring. Historically, he was part of the core frontcourt alongside hall-class big men on the Pacers.  AS (All-Star)
Reggie Harding Beta – Backup Center / Rotation Big 33.6 Moderate usage (inside scoring & boards) 13.4 13.4 2.1 ? solid As a center in limited games, offered size and rebounding presence. Provided interior minutes when starters rested.  
Jimmy Rayl Gamma – Rotational Guard / Off-ball Shooter/Facilitator 29.6 Medium usage (spot scoring + occasional facilitation) 12.0 3.2 2.8 ? moderate Likely used as a secondary guard — spot-up shooting/off-ball scoring, and occasional facilitation — rather than primary playmaker.  
Ollie Darden Gamma – Role Frontcourt / Energy Rebounder 26.6 Medium usage (support scoring + rebounds) 12.0 6.8 0.9 ? moderate Provided frontcourt depth, offering some scoring and rebounding — more of a support role rather than focal point.  
Bobby Edmonds Delta – Bench Wing / Spot-Up Scorer 18.6 Low-Medium usage (bench scoring) 8.0 5.2 0.4 ? low-moderate A rotational wing, likely coming off the bench for spacing/scoring bursts when starters rested.  
George Peeples Delta – Backup Center / Low-Usage Big 18.5 Low usage 6.0 5.8 0.4 ? low Served as backup center, primarily providing interior minutes, size, and occasional scoring/rebounding.  
Jerry Harkness Delta – Reserve Guard / Situational Ball-handler 17.5 Low usage 7.0 2.7 1.8 ? low-moderate As a reserve guard, likely used for bench minutes, ball-handling relief, and situational plays rather than as a primary offensive option.  
Matt Aitch Delta – Fringe Rotation Frontcourt 14.2 Low usage 5.6 3.6 0.4 ? low Minimal role — likely spot minutes for rest, garbage time or specific matchups; limited impact on offense/defense.  
Jimmy Dawson Delta – Deep Bench Guard 13.7 Very low usage 5.6 1.0 1.5 ? low Deep bench guard, probably spot-sub minutes or end-of-game mop-up time.  
Ron Bonham Delta – Limited Wing/Forward Role 10.1 Very low usage 5.8 1.4 0.3 ? low Very limited minutes — likely used sparsely for depth, occasional shooting or matchup-based usage.  
Ron Kozlicki Delta – Fringe Wing/Forward 9.6 Very low usage 2.9 1.9 0.4 ? very low Marginal role — minimal statistical contribution; likely end-of-bench reserve.
