Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG+BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Dave DeBusschere Core All-Around Anchor 37.1 High 18.2 11.8 2.8 n/a (pre-steal/block tracking) 16.4 Led the team in rebounding by a wide margin and produced a career-high scoring & rebounding season while also serving as player-coach for much of the year; his two-way play and leadership made him the de facto backbone of the Pistons — “the top player” on a weak club.  AS (All-Star) 
Dave Bing Primary Scoring/Playmaking Guard 34.5 High 20.0 4.5 4.1 n/a 14.3 As a rookie, Bing immediately became the team’s top scorer and play-maker, shouldering much of the offensive burden; his 20.0 PPG and 4.1 APG made him the offensive focal point.  ROY-1 (Rookie of the Year) / NBA All-Rookie 1st Team 
Ray Scott Interior Secondary Option 32.8 Moderate-High 14.7 9.0 1.9 n/a 12.8 In limited games (45), he still managed a strong rebound rate and solid scoring — a useful inside complement, especially when DeBusschere or the other bigs rested.   
Eddie Miles Secondary Scoring Guard/Swing Contributor 29.9 Moderate 17.6 3.7 2.2 n/a 11.8 As the second guard/scorer behind Bing, Miles provided scoring punch and veteran stability; his 17.6 PPG helped offset the team’s overall offensive struggles.   
Joe Strawder Backup/Spot Big 27.3 Moderate-Low 9.5 10.0 1.0 n/a 10.3 Gave decent interior rebounding and steadying presence off the bench — valuable depth at center when starters rested or during mismatches.   
Tom Van Arsdale Wing/Supporting Guard-Forward 27.0 Moderate-Low 12.2 4.3 2.4 n/a 9.5 Contributed as a complementary wing scorer and secondary ball-handler; provided perimeter shooting and spacing on a team often thin on wing scoring.   
John Tresvant Reserve Forward/Role-Player 22.8 Low 9.9 7.1 1.3 n/a 9.1 Offered rebound support and occasional scoring; a reliable role-player when called upon, especially for front-court minutes.   
Ron Reed Depth Forward 20.1 Low 8.5 6.8 1.3 n/a 8.3 Provided occasional front-court minutes and rebounding, though with limited usage and impact; useful for specific matchups or rest periods.   
Wayne Hightower Spot Big / Occasional Front-Court Depth 19.4 Low 8.6 5.7 1.0 n/a 7.7 Saw limited action (29 games), but brought extra size and front-court depth — helpful in periods of injury or heavy workload on starters.   
Reggie Harding Young/Developing Big 18.5 Low 5.5 6.1 1.3 n/a 6.5 As a younger center with limited offensive output but reasonable rebounding, Harding represented a developmental piece; potential limited by modest usage.   
Chico Vaughn Deep Bench Guard 13.3 Low-Very Low 4.3 1.3 1.5 n/a 3.5 Played only sparingly; his limited minutes and production made him a very minor rotational piece.   
Dorie Murrey Reserve Forward/Spot Contributor 8.9 Very Low 2.8 2.9 0.3 n/a 2.5 Minimal playing time and modest production; served as bottom-of-rotation depth.   
Bob Hogsett Garbage-Time/Fringe Roster 3.1 Very Low 2.3 0.4 0.1 n/a 1.4 Appeared in very few games, offering negligible impact — effectively a roster footnote.
