In a one-game sample, Thomas functioned as a remarkably active interior hub, combining rebounding, passing and defensive playmaking rather than simply occupying the paint. His 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and block showed the all-around defensive activity that later helped him earn NBA opportunities. |

As a primary scoring guard, Johnson-Odom attacked from the perimeter while also handling enough creation duties to keep the offense moving. He opened the season with 30 points, six rebounds and four assists, then produced a 28-point, nine-assist outing soon after, showing why the Lakers assignment gave the D-Fenders another high-volume creator.

Fortson was the team’s offensive organizer, constantly pressuring defenses with the ball and creating shots for teammates. His 14-assist performance and repeated high-scoring games reflected a guard trusted to control possessions, while his selection to the 2013 NBA D-League All-Star Game reinforced his standing as one of the league’s prominent floor generals.

Millsap brought a physical two-way presence to the wing, attacking the basket while supplying rebounding and disruptive defense. After returning to Los Angeles in December, he helped stabilize the rotation immediately, and his ability to contribute across several areas made him more than a conventional scoring forward.

Morris’ two-game assignment was essentially a concentrated ball-handling audition: he started both appearances and directed the offense while also attacking scoring opportunities.

Flowers played with a notably active defensive motor for a scoring forward, capable of stretching defenses while also attacking the glass and protecting the rim. His season-opening contribution included three steals and three blocks, and he later posted multiple double-doubles, illustrating how much of his value came from doing damage on both ends.

Hayward served as a scoring forward who could punish defenses from the perimeter while still functioning as a strong rebounder.

Almond arrived as an established D-League scorer and immediately supplied another isolation and perimeter scoring option. He had already built a reputation as a high-volume offensive player before joining Los Angeles, and the D-Fenders used him as a direct scoring threat rather than asking him to carry a large playmaking burden.

Sacre’s assignment role was built around size, finishing and interior rebounding. He was given starter-level minutes during his D-Fenders appearances, and the seven-game stint produced a clear contrast with his limited NBA role: in El Segundo he was asked to play through the paint and clean the glass rather than simply absorb spot minutes.

Jordan supplied the size and interior presence the D-Fenders lacked, with his seven-foot frame allowing him to anchor the paint while finishing around the basket. After arriving in February, he immediately showed the defensive value of that size with a 10-point, 12-rebound, five-block performance. (Los Angeles Times) |

Moon’s value came much more from disruption than shot creation. He covered ground defensively, generated steals and blocks, rebounded from the wing and could push the ball in transition, giving Los Angeles a veteran defensive playmaker even when his jumper was unreliable. |

Dupree operated as a veteran wing who could settle possessions, attack mismatches and contribute on the glass without demanding the offense revolve around him.

Famous was the physical interior option, using his size to create second chances and finish around the rim.

Andrews was a hustle-oriented big whose athleticism and rebounding mattered more than polished offensive skill. He returned to Los Angeles after an unsuccessful Italian stint and settled into a useful interior role, supplying physicality and effort while remaining limited as a scorer. |

Taylor functioned as a reserve guard capable of injecting pace and perimeter shooting without monopolizing possessions.

Dickey’s two-game sample points to a traditional reserve point-guard role, emphasizing organization and ball movement over volume scoring. With only two appearances, the evaluation is necessarily narrow, but the 3.5 assists in 27.5 minutes indicate that distributing the offense was his clearest responsibility. |

Brackins was used as a frontcourt depth piece with enough perimeter range to pull opposing bigs away from the lane. The nine-game sample remained modest, so his role was more about spacing and supplementary passing than carrying an offense. |

Stover’s identity was overwhelmingly defensive, with rim protection carrying far more weight than his offensive involvement.
