Team Impact Spotlight
| Player Name | Role Tier | MPG | Usage Tier | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG+BPG) | Impact Index* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paul Westphal | Primary Offensive Architect | 32.6 | Elite (High Volume Creator) | 24.0 | 2.0 | 6.5 | 1.7 | 17.1 | Still the system’s offensive brain. Scoring efficiency (.535 FG%) paired with 6.5 assists underscores surgical precision. Carried playmaking load in clutch stretches. Defensive reads more positional than reactive. |
| Walter Davis | Dynamic Wing Finisher / Scoring Core | 30.8 | Elite (High Volume Finisher) | 23.6 | 4.7 | 4.3 | 2.2 | 17.4 | Electric two-way wing, combining high-efficiency scoring (.561 FG%) with creative playmaking. Adapted seamlessly to Westphal’s co-lead role. Slight uptick in rebounding shows evolving all-around presence. |
| Alvan Adams | Playmaking Interior Anchor | 30.7 | High (Balanced Offense) | 17.8 | 9.2 | 4.7 | 2.2 | 17.0 | Point-center prototype. Top-3 team passer, reliable rebounder, and defensive coordinator. Anchored ball movement from the post while maintaining efficient inside-out scoring. |
| Truck Robinson | Physical Interior Scorer / Midseason Injection | 29.1 | High (Post Usage) | 16.0 | 8.7 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 13.7 | Midseason addition changed interior dynamic — heavy post touches, strong rebounding. Efficiency good (.508 FG%) but chemistry still developing. |
| Don Buse | Defensive Quarterback / Control Guard | 31.0 | Moderate (Control + Defense) | 7.8 | 2.6 | 4.3 | 2.1 | 8.4 | Elite positional defender (All-Defensive 1st Team). Defensive STK impact (1.9 steals avg.) set tone early. Offense minimal by design — ball mover and tempo stabilizer. |
| Ron Lee | Defensive Spark / Transition Driver | 22.0 | Mid (Secondary Creator) | 9.8 | 2.6 | 3.1 | 1.7 | 8.6 | Aggressive, high-motor guard with elite defensive quickness. Offense streaky but energy and pressure reshaped pace off the bench. |
| Alvin Scott | Versatile Glue Forward | 21.4 | Low (Complementary) | 6.7 | 4.4 | 1.6 | 1.8 | 7.3 | Defensive Swiss Army knife — switchable, efficient, team-first. Provided spacing and rim defense from wing spots; underrated consistency. |
| Gar Heard | Veteran Defensive Anchor | 19.3 | Low (Support Role) | 6.3 | 5.6 | 1.0 | 1.7 | 7.3 | Veteran rebounding and rim protection. Still reliable defensively, though usage declined. Served as secondary mentor to Robinson and Adams. |
| Joel Kramer | High-Effort Role Big | 17.1 | Low (Rebounding Focus) | 5.9 | 4.1 | 1.1 | 0.8 | 5.9 | Hustle player and screen-setter. Efficient around rim (.489 FG%), added low-maintenance value in physical contests. |
| Marty Byrnes | Bench Wing Shooter | 17.1 | Low-Mid (Scoring Depth) | 6.8 | 2.3 | 1.4 | 0.3 | 5.4 | Solid reserve scorer with range. Not much defensive contribution (0.3 STK), but dependable rotation presence. |
| Mike Bratz | Bench Ball-Handler / Scoring Guard | 16.8 | Mid (Scoring Guard) | 8.1 | 1.8 | 2.3 | 0.9 | 6.6 | Productive sparkplug. Strong FT% (.818) and reliable jumper. Developed chemistry with second unit. |
| Bayard Forrest | Backup Center / Interior Distributor | 16.6 | Low (Defensive) | 4.0 | 4.2 | 2.2 | 0.9 | 5.7 | Excellent vision for a backup big. Defense-first mindset and smart outlet passing kept tempo balanced in bench minutes. |
| Ted McClain | Veteran Depth Guard | 12.9 | Low (Relief Minutes) | 4.6 | 1.9 | 1.7 | 0.5 | 4.4 | Late-career stabilizer with elite FT% (.913). Minimal scoring but solid presence in short stretches. |
