Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Michael Jordan Alpha-Star 40.2 High 32.5 8.0 8.0 3.7 ≈ 26.1 The clear engine of the team — primary scorer, primary playmaker, and main defensive disruptor (steals + perimeter D). He carried a very large offensive and defensive load and was the focal point in clutch moments throughout the season.  MVP, All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team, Scoring Title
Scottie Pippen Co-Star / Two-Way Wing 33.1 High-Medium 14.4 6.1 3.5 2.7 ≈ 13.3 Emerging as a top-tier two-way wing: contributed across the board — scoring, rebounding, facilitating and defense. His versatility allowed him to guard multiple positions and help shoulder secondary creator/front-court resources.  —
Horace Grant Starting Big (Defensive Anchor) 35.6 Medium 12.0 8.6 2.1 1.9 ≈ 12.3 Provided much-needed interior presence: rebounding, rim-protection and physicality. As a starting power forward, he helped stabilize the frontcourt and allowed perimeter players more freedom.  —
Bill Cartwright Starting Center (Role C) 29.9 Medium-Low 12.4 6.7 1.2 0.8 ≈ 10.6 Veteran center: brought size and stability in the paint, defended the rim, and offered experienced half-court play. His role underpinned the Bulls’ interior rotation and provided a physical presence against bigger frontcourts.  —
Sam Vincent Starting / Ball-Handling Guard (Secondary) 24.3 Medium-Low 9.4 2.7 4.8 0.9 ≈ 8.9 As a primary ball-handler (when starters rested) and secondary playmaker, he helped sustain offensive flow off the bench or in smaller-lineup sets; his assist rate suggests he facilitated when starters needed rest.  —
Craig Hodges 3-Point Specialist / Spot Shooter 22.7 Low 10.0 1.7 2.8 0.9 ≈ 7.7 Served as outside-shooting and floor-spacing threat. His perimeter shooting offered the team an extra dimension, especially in a period where 3-point shooting was less emphasized — valuable in spreading defenses and opening lanes for stars.  3-Point Contest Winner (season long pedigree) 
John Paxson Role Guard / Floor-Spacer / Off-Ball PG 22.3 Low 7.3 1.2 3.9 0.8 ≈ 6.6 Provided back-up point-guard minutes, stability, and shooting — especially in less-pressured moments. Valuable in preserving tempo and spacing when starters rested or in sub-lineups.  —
Brad Sellers Bench Forward / Stretch Big 21.7 Low 6.9 2.8 1.2 1.3 ≈ 6.1 Provided front-court depth and moderate shooting/rebounding off the bench. Useful in lighter front-court rotations or when resting starters; modest but functional role. —
Dave Corzine Backup Center / Rotation Big 18.3 Low 5.9 3.9 1.3 1.0 ≈ 6.1 Served as reserve center — offered interior minutes when starters rested, contributing modest rebounding and inside defense. —
Charles Davis Minor Rotation Wing 11.1 Very Low 3.8 2.3 0.6 0.3 ≈ 3.5 Occasionally used as depth — limited minutes and impact, likely utilized in low-leverage or mop-up situations. —
Anthony Jones Deep Bench Guard (Spot Minutes) 8.1 Very Low 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.4 ≈ 2.2 Minimal impact; used sparingly, served as extra guard depth when needed. —
Ed Nealy Deep Bench Forward 7.2 Very Low 0.8 1.8 0.5 0.3 ≈ 2.2 Rarely used; provided occasional front-court depth and garbage-time minutes. —
Will Perdue Reserve Center / Future Development Piece 6.3 Very Low 2.2 1.5 0.4 0.3 ≈ 2.2 Very limited minutes; likely developmental or situational — negligible impact on main rotation but added depth. —
Jack Haley Deep Bench Big / Spot Minutes 5.7 Very Low 2.2 1.4 0.2 0.2 ≈ 2.0 Used rarely; marginal role — possibly for matchup-specific minutes or garbage time. —
Dominic Pressley Mop-Up / Emergency Guard 5.7 Very Low 0.7 0.3 1.3 0.0 ≈ 1.0 Extremely limited usage; likely only used in blowout or low-leverage situations. —
David Wood Marginal Bench Depth 1.0 Negligible 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 ≈ 0.0 Practically no impact — negligible minutes and no measurable statistical production. —
