LaMarcus Aldridge Key Contributor 22.3 Medium 12.9 5.5 0.9 1.3 47.56 Skilled veteran scorer who reinvented himself as a reliable frontcourt option. Aldridge’s mid-range touch and efficient post scoring helped stabilize bench units throughout the season. NBA All-Star (7x career selection)

Joe Harris Key Contributor 30.2 Medium 11.3 4.0 1.0 0.6 39.02 Floor-spacing specialist whose season ended early because of injury. Before that, Harris still commanded defensive attention with his shooting gravity and quick-trigger perimeter game. NBA Three-Point Contest Champion (2019)
Patty Mills Key Contributor 29.0 Medium 11.4 1.9 2.3 0.8 37.42 Veteran guard who became a larger part of the offense than originally expected. Mills provided needed shooting, energy and leadership while appearing in all 81 games. NBA Champion (2014)
Cam Thomas Key Contributor 17.6 Medium 8.5 2.4 1.2 0.6 29.67 Instant-offense rookie who flashed advanced shot-making ability in limited minutes. Thomas often hunted his own offense and showed the confidence that would later define his breakout seasons. NBA Rising Stars Challenge (2022)

Paul Millsap Bench 11.3 Low 3.4 3.7 1.0 0.7 17.60 Veteran reserve whose role diminished as the season progressed. Millsap still provided experience and positional awareness in short frontcourt stints. NBA All-Star (4x career selection)

Shaquille Harrison Bench 11.5 Low 2.0 2.0 1.5 1.0 13.00 Defensive specialist who saw only a small sample of action. Harrison’s quick hands and disruptive style were his main contributions.  
James Ennis III Bench 7.0 Low 2.5 2.5 0.0 1.0 12.00 Wing depth option whose brief appearances featured active rebounding and defensive effort. His role never expanded beyond spot duty.

TEAM TOTALS   240.9   112.9 44.4 25.3 12.6 956.56 Brooklyn’s 2021-22 season revolved around the star trio of Durant, Harden and Irving, but injuries, availability issues and the midseason Harden trade constantly reshaped the rotation.

Kyrie Irving Starter/Star 42.5 High 21.3 5.3 5.3 3.1 92.14 Creative lead guard who opened the series brilliantly before Boston tightened its coverages.

Goran Dragić Key Contributor 19.8 Medium 10.5 4.5 1.5 0.8 39.19 Veteran creator who provided a surprising offensive spark off the bench. Dragić attacked gaps aggressively and supplied secondary scoring when Brooklyn’s stars faced heavy defensive pressure. 2022 NBA Playoffs
Patty Mills Key Contributor 18.0 Medium 6.3 1.0 0.0 0.3 17.94 Reserve shooter whose role centered on spacing and quick-trigger three-point shooting. Mills converted shots efficiently but struggled to influence the series beyond his perimeter scoring. 2022 NBA Playoffs, NBA Champion (2014)
Andre Drummond Key Contributor 15.0 Medium 3.8 3.0 0.8 2.1 22.64 Physical rebounder who started the series but saw his minutes reduced as Boston’s spacing and pace created difficult matchups. His best work came on the glass and around the rim. 2022 NBA Playoffs
Blake Griffin Bench 12.5 Low 4.0 2.0 2.0 1.0 18.00 Veteran big man who brought energy and toughness in limited appearances. Griffin’s willingness to dive for loose balls and absorb contact helped change momentum during short stretches. 2022 NBA Playoffs, NBA All-Star (6x career selection)

TEAM TOTALS   240.0   109.0 34.0 22.3 14.5 454.97 Brooklyn entered the 2022 first round with championship-level talent but ran into a disciplined Boston defense that controlled the series.
