Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier* MPG Usage Tier† PPG RPG APG STK (SPG+BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Orlando Woolridge “Primary Scoring Wing” 32.1 High 20.7 5.0 3.0 1.4 (0.7+0.7) ≈ 15.1 Primary offensive option outside of the struggling roster — provided the bulk of scoring punch, spacing and reliable shooting for a poor-win team. 
George Gervin “Secondary Scorer / Vet Wing” 25.2 High 16.2 2.6 1.7 0.9 (0.6+0.3) ≈ 10.7 The veteran scorer added consistent scoring leadership and offensive stability during a season where the Bulls lacked cohesion. 
Sidney Green “Two-Way Forward / Rebounder” 28.8 Medium-High 13.4 8.2 1.7 1.4 (0.9+0.5) ≈ 12.3 Provided interior toughness, rebounding and modest defensive presence; valuable as a dependable forward-big man amidst roster turnover. 
Quintin Dailey “Scoring Reserve / Spot Starter” 20.7 Medium 16.3 1.9 1.9 0.7 (0.6+0.1) ≈ 10.4 Showed scoring punch in limited minutes — a useful scoring spark off the bench, though overall impact limited by role and minutes. 
Gene Banks “3-and-D / Role Wing” 26.1 Medium 10.9 4.4 3.1 1.1 (1.0+0.1) ≈ 9.7 Added some perimeter shooting (no threes attempted often, but shot efficiently inside FG) and defensive/versatile wing depth in a thin roster. 
Dave Corzine “Backup Center / Rotation Big” 25.5 Medium-Low 9.6 6.5 2.2 1.2 (0.4+0.8) ≈ 9.8 Provided size and some inside presence off the bench — helped moderate the deterioration of front-court depth in a struggling season. 
Kyle Macy “Primary Point Guard / Facilitator” 29.6 Medium 8.6 2.2 5.5 1.1 (1.0+0.1) ≈ 8.7 Handled ball-distribution and control — with limited scoring load, but maintained some stability in a transition season. 
Charles Oakley “Energy Forward / Defensive Forward” 23.0 Medium-Low 9.6 8.6 1.7 1.3 (0.9+0.4) ≈ 10.6 As a rookie (on this roster), provided toughness and rebounding — foundational defensive-rebounding building block for the future.  All-Rookie First Team
John Paxson “Backup PG / Spot Creator” 20.9 Low-Medium 5.3 1.3 3.7 0.7 (0.7+0.0) ≈ 5.5 Offered backup guard play, some facilitating and perimeter spacing — modest impact in limited role minutes. 
Jawann Oldham “Reserve Center / Depth Big” 24.5 Low 7.4 5.9 0.7 3.1 (0.5+2.6) ≈ 8.5 Served as depth at center — contributed occasional rim-protection and rebounding, though inconsistent on offense. 
Mike Holton “Trash-Time Guard / Reserve” 18.6 Low 7.1 1.2 2.0 1.0 (1.0+0.0) ≈ 5.6 Brief spurts of play, but largely minor-league role; occasional ball-handling and bench depth but limited impact. 
Rod Higgins “Deep Bench Wing” 16.2 Very Low 4.6 1.4 1.0 1.4 (0.8+0.6) ≈ 4.7 Minimal minutes; fringe rotation status — seldom impacted games in any major facet. 
Mike Smrek “Garbage-Time Center” 10.7 Very Low 2.8 2.9 0.5 0.8 (0.2+0.6) ≈ 3.5 Very limited role; near-end of bench with sparse floor time — negligible influence overall. 
Tony Brown “Deep-Reserve Guard” 13.2 Very Low 4.5 1.6 1.4 0.6 (0.5+0.1) ≈ 4.0 Spot minutes only — largely low-impact depth, seldom in meaningful rotations. 
Billy McKinney “Marginal Reserve Guard” 9.2 Very Low 2.4 0.6 1.4 0.2 (0.2+0.0) ≈ 2.3 Minimal minutes; effectively negligible contribution across all statistical categories.
Ron Brewer “Rare-Use Backcourt Reserve” 4.5 Very Low 1.8 0.0 0.0 0.0 (0.0+0.0) ≈ 0.9 Played very little — essentially a deep-bench guard without measurable impact.
