Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier (subjective) MPG Usage Tier (scoring / playload) PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
World B. Free “Primary Scorer / Iso Wing” 31.7 High Scoring Load 22.5 3.0 4.5 1.3 (1.1 + 0.2) 15.65 As the team’s go‑to scorer, Free carried most of the scoring burden. Known league‑wide for his high‑arcing jumper and aggressive 1‑on‑1 scoring — a flashy, take‑what‑you‑get style. Sometimes criticized as a “black hole” and for taking a lot of difficult shots.  —
Roy Hinson “Stretch/Combo Forward – Scoring + Rebounding” 30.8 Moderate–High 15.8 7.8 0.9 3.0 (0.7 + 2.3) 13.25 Big frontcourt contributor — strong rebounder and interior presence, was main rebound engine on the team. Provided efficient scoring and physicality inside. Rebounded especially well, helping anchor the glass at both ends.  —
Phil Hubbard “Two‑Way Forward / Secondary Wing” 29.6 Moderate 15.8 6.3 1.5 1.2 (1.1 + 0.1) 12.15 Reliable scoring and decent rebounding — often helped balance frontcourt minutes and spacing. Serviceable two‑way forward who provided some offense and moderate defense/rebounding.  —
Johnny Davis “Secondary Ball‑Handler / Facilitator‑Scorer” 25.3 Mid Usage (playmaking/scoring hybrid) 12.4 1.6 5.6 0.7 (0.6 + 0.1) 10.15 Served as a secondary guard: contributed as a helper in ball‑handling and playmaking, complementing the main guard. Offered modest scoring and solid assist numbers, giving the team a secondary creation option. —
John Bagley “Primary Operator / Lead Guard” 29.6 High Playload — Facilitator + Scoring 9.9 3.6 8.6 1.7 (1.6 + 0.1) 11.45 As the lead guard, Bagley provided the team’s main playmaking and ball distribution. High assist total shows he facilitated much of the offense. Also added defensive activity with steals.  —
Melvin Turpin “Backup/Rotational Big” 24.7 Low–Mid 10.6 5.7 0.5 1.6 (0.5 + 1.1) 9.70 Provided size and modest scoring/rebounding off the bench or in spot starts. Served as depth in the frontcourt; his minutes and production helped preserve frontcourt stamina for starters.  —
Paul Thompson “Role Wing / Bench Scorer” 21.7 Low–Mid 10.5 3.5 1.8 1.8 (1.2 + 0.6) 8.85 Came off the bench and provided some scoring punch and activity. Useful as a supporting scorer when starters rested; contributed a bit of all‑around game.  —
Edgar Jones “Deep Rotation Forward/Center” 17.2 Low 8.2 4.2 0.4 0.8 (0.4 + 0.4) 6.90 Limited minutes, but provided frontcourt depth — a role‑player in rotation, contributing modest rebounding and some defense when called. —
Ben Poquette “Bench Big / Energy Sub” 21.0 Low 6.7 6.0 1.0 1.3 (0.6 + 0.7) 7.50 Though not a primary option, Poquette gave the team rebounding and interior defense as a bench big. Helped provide stability in minutes when starters rested.  —
Lonnie Shelton “Spot Minutes Forward / Veteran Depth” 21.8 Low 6.4 4.7 1.7 1.1 (0.8 + 0.3) 7.35 Played limited minutes — offered occasional frontcourt toughness and veteran presence. Role mostly reserve, providing depth rather than core production.  —
Michael Wilson “Marginal Rotation Guard” 15.9 Very Low 7.0 1.6 2.2 1.2 (0.9 + 0.3) 5.40 Saw very limited minutes — occasionally used as a backup guard, added some playmaking but minimal impact overall.  —
Ron Anderson “Minor Rotation Wing” 14.4 Very Low 5.8 2.4 0.9 0.5 (0.3 + 0.2) 4.30 Sparse minutes, little offensive load — more of a fringe rotational piece. Minimal impact.  —
Mark West “Deep Bench Center” 13.6 Minimal 3.9 3.8 0.2 0.9 (0.2 + 0.7) 4.45 Very limited minutes — served as a deep‑bench big, mostly for garbage time or very situational use.  —
Geoff Huston “Marginal Guard Depth” 11.6 Minimal 3.3 0.1 2.9 0.0 3.15 Minimal involvement — spot minutes only, did not factor meaningfully into rotation or playmaking. —
Kevin Williams “Fringe Bench Guard” 9.0 Minimal 3.5 1.4 1.3 0.6 (0.5 + 0.1) 3.45 Very limited minutes and very small role — marginal bench guard who rarely affected games.  —
Campy Russell “Deep Reserve Wing” 8.0 Minimal 2.0 1.7 1.0 0.0 2.35 Practically no role — played few minutes, little production. Probably used only sparingly or in low‑leverage situations.  —
Robert Smith “Emergency Guard Depth” 6.9 Minimal 2.3 0.6 1.0 0.3 2.10 Extremely limited minutes — unlikely to have impacted games in any consistent way.  —
Butch Graves “Marginal Bench Guard/Small‑Sample” 2.8 Minimal 1.3 0.5 0.3 0.3 2.05 Played in very few games, almost no role or impact — sample size too small to draw meaningful conclusions.  —
