|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derrick Coleman | Primary Interior Offensive Engine (1.1) | 34.0 | High (1.2) | 19.8 | 9.5 | 3.2 | 2.3 | 91.87 | As New Jersey’s main interior creator, Coleman was asked to generate offense from the post and face-up areas while also carrying a substantial rebounding and defensive load. Bill Fitch’s team was built around his frontcourt talent, and contemporary coverage described Coleman as one of the young pieces driving the Nets from 26 wins to a 40-win playoff team. Washington Post season preview | — |
| Dražen Petrović | Primary Perimeter Scoring Engine (1.1) | 36.9 | High (1.2) | 20.6 | 3.1 | 3.1 | 1.4 | 74.45 | Petrović became a genuine featured scorer rather than a specialist, using movement, pull-ups and three-point shooting to stretch defenses well beyond the arc. His 44.4% three-point accuracy ranked second in the NBA, while his breakout season also earned him 22 votes for Most Improved Player, the runner-up finish in that award race. Los Angeles Times coverage of the Most Improved voting | Nets MVP (1992); Most Improved Player voting: 2nd (1992) |
| Mookie Blaylock | Two-Way Lead Guard (1.1) | 35.4 | High (1.2) | 13.8 | 3.7 | 6.8 | 3.0 | 68.80 | Blaylock was the defensive pressure point and primary organizer of the backcourt, combining aggressive point-of-attack defense with enough playmaking to keep the offense moving. Fitch leaned heavily on him while the rookie Anderson struggled to establish himself, and Blaylock’s 2.4 steals reflected how disruptive he could be at the point of attack. Washington Post report on the Nets’ guard situation | — |
| Sam Bowie | Starting Two-Way Center (1.05) | 30.7 | Medium (1.1) | 15.0 | 8.1 | 2.6 | 2.3 | 64.68 | Bowie provided a surprisingly broad offensive role for a traditional center, operating as a scoring option while also screening, passing and protecting the rim. The Washington Post preview specifically identified him as one of New Jersey’s key returning pieces, and his combination of size and interior skill helped give Coleman room to work at power forward. Washington Post 1991-92 Nets preview | — |
| Chris Morris | Starting Two-Way Wing (1.05) | 31.1 | Medium (1.1) | 11.4 | 6.4 | 2.6 | 2.8 | 53.59 | Morris operated as the Nets’ versatile wing connector, doing useful work as a rebounder, cutter and secondary ball-handler rather than simply spacing the floor. His importance to the rotation became particularly clear when tensions with Fitch over substitution patterns became public late in the season; Morris was one of the players Fitch relied on heavily despite the friction. Washington Post report on the Nets’ late-season tensions | — |
| Chris Dudley | Rebounding and Rim-Protection Specialist (1.0) | 23.2 | Medium (1.1) | 5.6 | 9.0 | 0.7 | 2.7 | 36.00 | Dudley was the dirty-work center, providing offensive rebounding, physical screens and interior defense without needing touches. His value was especially apparent when Bowie was unavailable; contemporary reporting noted that Dudley stepped into the starting center role during an injury absence and helped preserve the Nets’ defensive structure. Los Angeles Times game report on Dudley’s role | — |
| Terry Mills | Stretch Frontcourt Scorer (1.05) | 20.9 | Medium (1.1) | 9.0 | 5.5 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 38.35 | Mills gave New Jersey a mobile scoring forward who could rebound and pull larger defenders away from the basket. When Coleman was injured, Fitch moved Mills into the starting lineup and he responded with 25 points and 14 rebounds against Detroit, showing why his offensive versatility mattered to the rotation. Los Angeles Times report on Mills replacing Coleman | — |
| Kenny Anderson | Developing Lead-Guard Creator (1.0) | 17.0 | Medium (1.1) | 7.0 | 2.0 | 3.2 | 1.1 | 26.60 | Anderson’s rookie season was more developmental than featured, with his late arrival and Bill Fitch’s preference for Mookie Blaylock limiting his workload. The Washington Post noted the tension surrounding Anderson’s playing time, while also identifying the rookie as a major part of the Nets’ future rather than an immediate offensive centerpiece. Washington Post report on Anderson’s rookie season | — |
| Tate George | Defensive Utility Guard (1.0) | 14.8 | Low (1.0) | 6.0 | 1.5 | 2.3 | 0.6 | 20.80 | George was a flexible reserve guard who could handle either backcourt spot and occasionally make a defensive play that changed a possession. His most memorable regular-season contribution came during New Jersey’s shot-blocking record against Denver, when he blocked Chris Jackson’s layup to establish the league mark. Los Angeles Times report on the Nets’ 22-block game | — |
| Rafael Addison | Fourth-Quarter Scoring Reserve (1.0) | 15.5 | Low (1.0) | 5.8 | 2.2 | 0.9 | 0.8 | 19.40 | Addison supplied scoring punch from the wing without requiring a large offensive role, making him particularly useful when injuries disrupted the rotation. During a road win over Detroit, he joined Tate George in providing a fourth-quarter scoring burst that helped New Jersey overcome a late deficit. Los Angeles Times report on Addison’s fourth-quarter impact | — |
| Jud Buechler | Emergency Wing Shooter (1.0) | 14.5 | Low (1.0) | 4.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 15.00 | Buechler’s season was almost entirely a depth assignment, with his Nets appearance limited to two games. He was essentially an emergency wing option behind Morris and Addison, and independent season-specific reporting on his brief New Jersey stint is extremely limited. | — |
| Doug Lee | Deep-Rotation Shooting Guard (1.0) | 6.7 | Low (1.0) | 2.6 | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 8.20 | Lee occupied the deepest regular-season guard role, providing short bursts of perimeter depth when the rotation required another body. His limited minutes and low possession share made him a situational option rather than part of Fitch’s core rotation, and contemporary independent coverage of his 46-game Nets stint is extremely limited. | — |
| Dave Feitl | Emergency Interior Reserve (1.0) | 5.1 | Low (1.0) | 2.4 | 1.8 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 9.20 | Feitl functioned almost exclusively as interior insurance behind Bowie and Dudley. His role was dictated by roster availability rather than offensive design, and the Nets briefly waived and then re-signed him during the season, underscoring how fluid the bottom of the frontcourt rotation was. | — |
| Team Totals | New Jersey Nets (1.0) | 241.2 | — | 105.4 | 47.6 | 23.6 | 16.5 | — | The 1991-92 Nets were built around a young, unusually varied core: Coleman’s inside-out scoring, Petrović’s perimeter shooting, Blaylock’s two-way point-guard play and Bowie’s interior skill gave Bill Fitch enough firepower to turn a 26-win team into a 40-win playoff club.

| Derrick Coleman | Primary Interior Offensive Engine (1.1) | 40.5 | High (1.2) | 22.3 | 11.3 | 5.3 | 2.8 | 110.09 | Coleman’s role was enormous, with New Jersey repeatedly leaning on him to create from the interior and make plays when possessions broke down. The Washington Post noted that he played through painful back spasms during the Nets’ Game 3 comeback, reinforcing how central his inside scoring, rebounding and passing were to their only win of the series. Washington Post playoff coverage | — |
| Dražen Petrović | Primary Perimeter Scoring Engine (1.1) | 40.8 | High (1.2) | 24.3 | 2.5 | 3.3 | 1.3 | 82.90 | Petrović was the Nets’ premier perimeter shot-maker, attacking from the wing with a mixture of movement shooting, pull-ups and aggressive drives. His 40-point Game 1 immediately showed the scoring burden he could shoulder, while later retrospective reporting has emphasized how his technical skill and relentless attacking style made him unusually difficult for defenders to handle. AS retrospective on Petrović’s playing style | — |
| Chris Morris | Starting Two-Way Wing Creator (1.05) | 33.8 | Medium (1.1) | 18.8 | 5.0 | 1.3 | 3.6 | 66.30 | Morris gave New Jersey its most explosive secondary wing offense, and Game 3 was the clearest example: he scored 28 points on 12-of-14 shooting while adding five rebounds and five steals. That performance came within a series where his athleticism allowed him to attack Cleveland’s defense without needing the ball on every possession. FOX Sports Game 3 report | — |
| Mookie Blaylock | Defensive Lead Guard and Playmaking Hub (1.05) | 37.0 | High (1.2) | 9.5 | 4.0 | 7.8 | 4.3 | 64.51 | Blaylock’s playoff job was less about scoring than controlling the game from the point while applying pressure defensively. Bill Fitch had already chosen him over rookie Kenny Anderson as the starting point guard, and that trust carried into the postseason; his defensive activity was particularly valuable when the Nets needed to disrupt Cleveland’s ball handlers. UPI Archives report on Fitch and Blaylock | — |
| Sam Bowie | Starting Interior Connector (1.05) | 28.0 | Medium (1.1) | 9.3 | 4.8 | 2.3 | 1.6 | 41.58 | Bowie remained a starting interior piece, but his playoff value was broader than his scoring. He could operate as a passer from the high post, occupy Cleveland’s bigs and provide size around Coleman; later independent discussion of the Nets’ era specifically remembered his 1992 playoff performance as a physically demanding stretch despite the team’s early exit. Hoops Analyst retrospective on the Coleman-Petrović Nets | — |
| Terry Mills | Mobile Frontcourt Scoring Reserve (1.0) | 19.3 | Medium (1.1) | 6.8 | 6.0 | 2.0 | 0.8 | 31.20 | Mills was the mobile frontcourt change-up, coming off the bench when New Jersey needed another forward who could rebound and move the ball. His role became particularly useful against Cleveland’s size because he could play alongside or behind the traditional centers without requiring post touches. Independent individual playoff coverage is limited, so the broader series reporting provides the clearest context for his reserve role. Washington Post season-ending Nets coverage | — |
| Chris Dudley | Backup Rim-Protection Specialist (1.0) | 19.3 | Medium (1.1) | 3.5 | 6.3 | 0.8 | 3.0 | 27.20 | Dudley was the physical defensive counterpunch off the bench, supplying rebounding, screens and interior resistance while the primary scorers carried the offense. His 2.5 blocks per game in the series underline how much his minutes were tied to protecting the paint, and contemporary coverage specifically singled him out as an underrated part of New Jersey’s Game 3 comeback. Los Angeles Times retrospective NBA coverage | — |
| Tate George | Reserve Ball-Handling Spark (1.0) | 11.0 | Low (1.0) | 3.8 | 0.0 | 2.0 | 1.1 | 13.80 | George provided short bursts of backcourt organization rather than a sustained scoring role. His playoff minutes were limited, but contemporary reporting captured his enthusiasm about reaching the postseason after New Jersey’s long absence, describing the playoff atmosphere as noticeably different for the young Nets. Washington Post Nets playoff coverage | — |
| Rafael Addison | Situational Wing Scorer (1.0) | 9.0 | Low (1.0) | 5.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 12.00 | Addison’s role was extremely matchup-dependent, with only one playoff appearance as New Jersey relied heavily on its primary five-man group. His lone outing was essentially a spot-scoring assignment, and the limited contemporary record makes it difficult to establish a more detailed playoff-specific role without overstating the evidence. Limited independent playoff coverage was available. | — |
| Kenny Anderson | Developmental Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 8.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.7 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 0.3 | 10.00 | Anderson entered the playoffs as a talented rookie whose role remained restricted behind Blaylock. Contemporary reporting had already highlighted the tension surrounding his playing time, with Fitch publicly defending Blaylock’s play at point guard; Anderson therefore functioned as a developmental reserve rather than the lead creator expected to emerge later. UPI Archives report on the Nets’ guard situation | — |
| Dave Feitl | Emergency Center Depth (1.0) | 3.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 6.00 | Feitl was strictly an emergency interior option, appearing for a brief stretch when New Jersey needed another center-sized body. There is very little independent contemporary reporting devoted to his individual playoff role, so stronger conclusions about his tactical responsibilities would be speculative. Limited independent playoff coverage was available. | — |
| Doug Lee | Deep-Rotation Guard (1.0) | 3.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2.00 | Lee occupied the deepest perimeter role in the playoff rotation and was used only for brief stretches. His assignment was essentially to provide another guard when the primary rotation needed relief, with limited independent contemporary reporting available on his two-game playoff appearance. | — |
| Team Totals | New Jersey Nets (1.0) | 240.0 | — | 101.8 | 40.8 | 25.8 | 18.6 | — | New Jersey’s first playoff appearance since 1986 revolved around Coleman and Petrović carrying the offense, Blaylock directing the backcourt and Morris providing athletic secondary scoring. The Nets won Game 3 after rallying from a 10-point deficit with Coleman, Petrović, Blaylock and Dudley central to the comeback, but Cleveland closed the series 3-1.
