Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK Impact Index* Notes Awards
Artis Gilmore Core Anchor 34.1 High 18.5 10.2 1.7 3.3 16.85 As the team’s center, Gilmore was the defensive and rebounding backbone — elite rim protection and inside scoring. His efficiency (very high FG%) made him a cornerstone even if the team struggled.  AS
Reggie Theus Primary Creator‑Scorer 34.6 High 18.4 3.8 5.8 1.3 14.65 Led the team in scoring and playmaking — heavy usage load. Provided perimeter offense and shot creation that the roster lacked elsewhere.
Dave Greenwood Two‑Way Forward 35.5 High‑Mid 14.6 9.6 3.2 2.0 14.70 As a rookie (see award), Greenwood handled heavy minutes, delivered solid rebounding and complementary scoring, and contributed defensively (blocks + steals). Helped carry load when other starters lacked.  All‑Rookie First Team
Ricky Sobers Secondary Ball‑Handler / Combo Guard 24.2 Mid 11.8 1.8 3.8 1.1 9.25 Worked as secondary guard with modest scoring/creation load — provided backcourt depth and facilitated when Theus sat. Turnover‑heavy under high usage but valuable off the bench. 
Dwight Jones Role Big – Spot Minutes 26.2 Mid‑Low 10.0 6.5 1.5 1.1 9.55 Contributed as a front‑court option off the bench. Offered some rebounding and interior presence, but usage and playmaking role were limited.
Ronny Lester Backup Lead Guard 30.0 Mid‑Low 11.6 2.8 4.8 1.3 10.25 Served as a backup point guard; offered some ball‑handling and playmaking relief to starters, though not a major scoring option. 
Larry Kenon Front‑Court Depth 17.3 Low 7.2 3.0 1.1 0.6 5.95 Provided limited minutes but offered occasional front‑court scoring and size; more of a role spec than core contributor. 
Orlando Woolridge Young Wing/Reserve 15.8 Low 7.3 3.0 1.1 0.6 5.50 Saw spot minutes, likely in developmental or energy‑offense role. Modest per‑game production but provided some scoring punch in limited minutes.
James Wilkes Rotation Wing 15.1 Low 5.5 2.8 1.1 0.8 5.10 Minimal offensive role; likely valued more for defense or hustle plays than statistical production.
Coby Dietrick Reserve Big (Deep Bench) 13.5 Low 3.0 2.5 1.2 1.1 3.95 Spot minutes at center/power forward, providing front‑court depth, but little impact beyond modest rebounding and occasional defensive stats. 
Ray Blume Third‑String Guard 11.1 Low 4.6 0.8 1.4 0.5 3.65 Minimal role; likely used sparingly for spot minutes or garbage time, limited overall impact.
Tracy Jackson Deep Bench Reserve 10.8 Low 4.5 1.3 0.6 0.4 3.40 Occasional minutes, low usage — a reserve guard/wing providing depth but no clear impact beyond baseline rotation backup.
Jackie Robinson Very Limited Spot Use 9.7 Very Low 3.3 1.0 0.0 0.0 2.15 Played only a few games — likely used in very limited or garbage‑time situations; no meaningful impact.
Roger Burkman Marginal Bench 5.0 Very Low 0.8 1.0 0.8 1.0 1.75 Very limited sample; negligible contribution overall.
