| Shake Milton | Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) | 34.7 | High (1.2) | 24.9 | 4.9 | 4.9 | 1.6 | 95.83 | Milton functioned as Delaware’s main scoring initiator, combining pull-up creation with enough passing to keep the offense moving when possessions stalled. His two-way assignment allowed him to carry a much larger offensive load in Delaware, and his 24.9 points ranked fourth in the G League. Who is Shake Milton?

| DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell | Explosive Scoring Wing (1.1) | 29.0 | High (1.2) | 24.5 | 4.5 | 4.0 | 2.5 | 93.72 | Akoon-Purcell’s two-game sample was built around aggressive scoring and downhill pressure rather than a complementary role. The small sample makes the projection uncertain, but his combination of wing scoring, playmaking and defensive activity gave Delaware a genuine two-way creator during those appearances. | |
| Demetrius Jackson | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 35.0 | High (1.2) | 18.9 | 4.6 | 7.4 | 1.6 | 85.80 | Jackson operated as a full-time lead guard, with the offense leaning on his ball control, pick-and-roll decisions and ability to create shots for others. The 7.4 assists underline how heavily Delaware relied on him to organize possessions, although the high turnover rate shows the risk that came with that responsibility. | |
| Jonah Bolden | Versatile Frontcourt Creator (1.05) | 31.0 | High (1.1) | 15.3 | 11.8 | 3.3 | 2.3 | 75.54 | Bolden gave Delaware a modern big-man skill set, functioning as a rebounder and interior defender while still initiating some offense from the frontcourt. His frequent movement between Philadelphia and Delaware meant the sample was fragmented, but when assigned he immediately occupied a major role.

| Cameron Oliver | Interior Scoring Forward (1.05) | 26.6 | High (1.1) | 15.5 | 9.2 | 1.8 | 3.3 | 68.84 | Oliver was a physical frontcourt scorer who combined efficient finishing with relentless rebounding and shot-blocking. His 2.2 blocks per game and 9.2 rebounds made him more than a scoring option, while a fractured ankle ended his season in January. | |
| Rashad Vaughn | Primary Wing Shot Maker (1.05) | 29.3 | High (1.2) | 17.0 | 4.1 | 2.9 | 1.0 | 63.00 | Vaughn became a more aggressive perimeter scorer after arriving in Delaware, leaning heavily into three-point volume and attacking opportunities that were less prominent earlier with Texas. He also showed enough positional flexibility to start at power forward when Delaware’s roster was depleted. Rashad Vaughn: Registers third double-double this season | |
| Haywood Highsmith | Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) | 32.3 | High (1.1) | 12.2 | 6.8 | 2.5 | 1.7 | 53.59 | Highsmith played like a connective forward rather than a pure scorer, supplying rebounding, defensive activity and opportunistic shooting while staying heavily involved in the rotation. His strong rookie G League season earned a two-way contract with Philadelphia in January. | |
| Norvel Pelle | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.05) | 22.8 | High (1.1) | 11.1 | 8.6 | 1.2 | 3.3 | 55.90 | Pelle’s value centered on deterrence around the rim: he altered drives, cleaned the defensive glass and finished plays efficiently around the basket. His 3.0 blocks in the supplied data capture the defensive identity that ultimately earned him All-Defensive recognition and third-place finishes in both Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player voting. Delaware Blue Coats’ Norvel Pelle Named to 2018-19 NBA G League All-Defensive Team | G League All-Defensive Team (2019); 3rd in G League Defensive Player of the Year voting (2019); 3rd in G League Most Improved Player voting (2019) |
| Jared Brownridge | Movement Shooting Specialist (1.05) | 29.1 | High (1.2) | 15.9 | 2.1 | 2.2 | 0.8 | 52.92 | Brownridge was Delaware’s classic spacing weapon, constantly creating value through three-point volume and off-ball movement. He attempted 9.6 threes per game while still shooting 39.7% from deep, making him particularly important when the Blue Coats needed the floor stretched around their creators. | |
| Amir Johnson | Veteran Interior Stabilizer (1.05) | 25.5 | Low (1.0) | 14.0 | 6.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 43.05 | Johnson’s two-game assignment was less about development and more about getting a veteran big back into game shape. He willingly accepted the unusual G League stint, bringing screening, interior finishing and veteran organization to a young Delaware group. Sixers’ veteran Amir Johnson opts to play for Delaware Blue Coats | |
| Matt Farrell | Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.05) | 27.0 | Medium (1.1) | 10.8 | 3.2 | 5.6 | 0.8 | 47.12 | Farrell served as a secondary ball-handler who could settle the offense and manufacture advantages from the pick-and-roll. His 5.6 assists show that his influence extended well beyond his own scoring, particularly as Delaware rotated several different scorers through the lineup. | |
| Justin Patton | Mobile Rim-Running Big (1.05) | 18.5 | Medium (1.0) | 8.7 | 5.6 | 1.6 | 2.9 | 39.48 | Patton’s limited Delaware stint was centered on length, finishing and rim protection. Philadelphia repeatedly moved him between the NBA roster and Delaware as frontcourt injuries created depth issues, so his role was developmental but still clearly built around interior defense and athletic finishing.

| D.J. Hogg | Stretch Frontcourt Shooter (1.05) | 24.4 | Medium (1.0) | 10.6 | 3.8 | 1.3 | 1.8 | 36.75 | Hogg’s offensive value came primarily from stretching the floor as a forward, with 6.2 three-point attempts per game creating space for Delaware’s guards. He was more of a perimeter-oriented frontcourt piece than a traditional interior scorer. | |
| Ryan Anderson | Rebounding Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 18.3 | Medium (1.0) | 7.6 | 8.6 | 1.2 | 0.8 | 36.40 | Anderson supplied physical rebounding and interior presence without demanding many possessions. His 8.6 rebounds in only 18.3 minutes point to a specialist role built around second chances, screening and frontcourt toughness. | |
| Jarred Vanderbilt | Energy Rebounding Forward (1.0) | 16.3 | Low (1.0) | 7.3 | 7.8 | 0.5 | 1.5 | 34.20 | Vanderbilt’s four-game assignment was a glimpse of the activity that would later define his defensive reputation: aggressive rebounding, disruptive hands and constant movement. The small sample supports the role more confidently than any projection of sustained offensive production. | |
| Cory Jefferson | Stretch Four Reserve (1.05) | 23.9 | Medium (1.0) | 9.2 | 5.1 | 0.9 | 0.9 | 33.81 | Jefferson was used as a veteran scoring forward with enough perimeter range to pull opposing bigs away from the paint. His Delaware stint was brief, ending in January before he continued his season overseas, which limited his opportunity to settle into a larger role.

| Keenan Evans | Secondary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) | 23.8 | Medium (1.0) | 8.5 | 3.0 | 3.3 | 1.2 | 33.60 | Evans arrived in Delaware after beginning the season with Grand Rapids and functioned as another capable guard who could create off the bounce without monopolizing the offense. His ability to handle and attack helped stabilize a backcourt that changed repeatedly during the season. | |
| Zhaire Smith | Defensive Development Wing (1.0) | 22.6 | Medium (1.0) | 7.2 | 3.0 | 1.5 | 0.9 | 25.20 | Smith’s G League stint was primarily about rebuilding his rhythm after a serious medical setback rather than maximizing offensive production. His athleticism and defensive instincts remained the foundation of the role, while the modest shooting numbers reflected a player still finding his footing after an extended absence. Zhaire Smith: 10 things to know | |
| Kyle Randall | Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 16.3 | Low (1.0) | 4.6 | 1.4 | 2.1 | 0.6 | 17.40 | Randall provided experienced ball-handling depth and kept the offense organized when the primary creators rested. His low-usage profile made him more of a stabilizing rotation guard than a scoring threat. | |
| Terrence Drisdom | Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) | 12.7 | Low (1.0) | 4.0 | 1.9 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 16.00 | Drisdom’s short Delaware stint was built around perimeter defense, energy and opportunistic offense rather than a large scoring workload. With only nine appearances, the sample is too small for broader conclusions, but his defensive activity was immediately useful in limited minutes. | |
| Michael Bryson | Situational Wing Reserve (1.0) | 12.3 | Low (1.0) | 5.0 | 1.8 | 0.3 | 0.8 | 15.80 | Bryson was primarily a situational perimeter option, providing spacing and occasional scoring in a crowded Delaware wing rotation. His four-game sample makes a larger role difficult to establish with confidence. | |
| A.J. Davis | Short-Term Frontcourt Depth (1.0) | 15.0 | Low (1.0) | 1.5 | 3.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 10.00 | Davis joined Delaware late in the season after playing in Australia, so his two appearances were essentially a brief depth assignment. His role was limited, with rebounding and positional size more relevant than offensive responsibility. | |
| Lenjo Kilo | Emergency Rotation Big (1.0) | 2.0 | Low (1.0) | 1.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 3.00 | Kilo’s two-minute sample amounts to an emergency rotation appearance rather than a sustained role. There is not enough contemporary season coverage to support a broader evaluation beyond that limited stint. | |
