Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Michael Jordan Alpha-Star 39.0 High 33.6 6.9 6.3 3.5 ≈ 25.6 Team focal point on both ends. Led the league in scoring, carried the Bulls’ offense, and anchored the defense with steals and perimeter D. The offense ran through him; he was the go-to in clutch moments all season.  MVP, All-NBA 1st, All-Defensive 1st, Scoring Title
Scottie Pippen Co-Star / Two-Way Wing 38.4 High-Medium 16.5 6.7 5.4 3.8 ≈ 16.2 A two-way workhorse: handled ball, facilitated offense, stretched defense, disrupted passing lanes. His all-around contributions (rebounds, assists, steals) made him the secondary engine of the team.  All-NBA 2nd, All-Defensive 1st
Horace Grant Starting Big (Defensive Anchor) 34.4 Medium 13.4 7.9 2.8 2.3 ≈ 12.2 Provided interior toughness, rebounding and rim protection. As a dependable defensive big he helped anchor Chicago’s front court — especially valuable given Jordan and Pippen often operated on the perimeter.  —
Bill Cartwright Starting Center (Role C) 30.4 Medium-Low 11.4 6.5 2.0 1.0 ≈ 10.2 Offered veteran presence, size and rim protection around the basket. His steadiness inside helped give the Bulls interior stability when front-court rotation took over, especially against bigger lineups. —
John Paxson Role Guard / Floor-Spacer / Off-Ball PG 28.8 Medium-Low 10.0 1.5 4.1 1.1 ≈ 8.3 Served as the veteran ball-handler and three-point/off-ball threat. His presence allowed primary creators more freedom, and his stability helped in late-game situations. —
Stacey King Bench Frontcourt/Energy Big 21.7 Low 8.9 4.7 1.1 1.2 ≈ 7.0 As a young big off the bench, King provided energy, rebounding and interior defense in his minutes. Useful as a change-of-pace and relief for starters. —
Craig Hodges 3-Point Specialist / Spot Shooter 16.7 Low 6.5 0.8 1.7 0.5 ≈ 5.5 Offered outside shooting and floor spacing, giving the Bulls a perimeter scoring outlet beyond the stars. His shooting helped spread defenses and open lanes for others. 3-PT Contest Winner (season long pedigree) 
B.J. Armstrong Bench Guard / Secondary Ball-Mover 15.9 Low 5.6 1.3 2.5 0.7 ≈ 5.0 Contributed as a backup guard: handled some playmaking duties off the bench and provided rest value for starters. Gave coach flexibility with rotations.   
Will Perdue Backup Center / Defensive-Rebounder 11.5 Low 3.8 2.8 0.6 0.5 ≈ 4.3 Role-player providing interior defense and rebounding in limited minutes. Offered necessary depth in the frontcourt rotation. —
Ed Nealy Deep Bench Reserve 10.9 Low 2.3 3.0 0.6 0.4 ≈ 3.2 Minimal role; provided occasional rebounding/defensive depth when starters rested. —
Charles Davis Minor Rotation Wing 8.1 Very Low 2.5 1.5 0.3 0.4 ≈ 2.4 Very limited minutes; depth wing option mostly for garbage or mop-up minutes. —
Clifford Lett Marginal Bench Guard 7.0 Very Low 1.0 0.0 0.3 0.0 ≈ 1.3 Very minor bench role; seldom factored into regular rotations. —
Jeff Sanders Deep Bench Forward 5.9 Very Low 0.9 1.3 0.3 0.1 ≈ 1.3 Minimal impact; rarely used. —
Jack Haley Deep Bench Big 5.3 Very Low 2.3 1.6 0.4 0.1 ≈ 2.2 Very limited minutes; little influence on season outcomes. —
