|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isiah Thomas | Alpha – Primary Ball‑Handler / Engine | 37.0 | High | 18.4 | 3.8 | 9.4 | 1.9 | 16.8 | Team’s floor‑general: main playmaker, primary initiator of offense and transitional defense. | MVP‑13, AS |
| Joe Dumars | Beta – Two‑Way Perimeter Scorer/Defender | 34.4 | High‑Medium | 17.8 | 2.8 | 4.9 | 1.7 | 13.1 | Steady secondary scorer and reliable perimeter defender; balanced scoring with respect for team structure. | DPOY‑3, AS, NBA3, DEF1 |
| Bill Laimbeer | Beta – Interior Anchor & “Stretch” 5‑Man | 33.0 | Medium | 12.1 | 9.6 | 2.1 | 1.3 | 12.6 | Provided paint protection, rebounding, and spacing via mid‑range/inside shooting — key to controlling boards & floor balance. | |
| Dennis Rodman | Beta‑Plus – Energy Defender & Rebounding Workhorse | 29.0 | Medium‑Low | 8.8 | 9.7 | 0.9 | 1.3 | 10.4 | While not a primary scorer, he delivered elite rebounding and defensive activity — often guarding multiple positions. | DPOY‑1, AS, DEF1 |
| Mark Aguirre | Gamma – Wing Scoring/Rotation Shooter | 25.7 | Medium | 14.1 | 3.9 | 1.9 | 0.6 | 10.3 | Mid‑season addition to boost scoring; brought perimeter/wing scoring and floor spacing to complement inside/outside balance. | |
| James Edwards | Gamma – Backup Frontcourt Scorer / Rotation Big | 27.8 | Medium‑Low | 14.5 | 4.2 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 10.1 | Provided inside scoring and front‑court depth off the bench — valuable for rest periods of starters. | |
| Vinnie Johnson | Gamma – Sixth Man / Instant-Offense Guard | 24.0 | Low‑Medium | 9.8 | 3.1 | 3.1 | 1.1 | 8.5 | Served as a spark plug off the bench — capable of instant scoring bursts when starters rested or offense stalled. | |
| John Salley | Gamma – Defensive Big / Rim Protection Off‑Bench | 23.3 | Low | 7.2 | 5.4 | 1.1 | 1.7 | 7.7 | Athletic rim‑protector and shot‑blocker off the bench — helped maintain defensive toughness when starters rested. | |
| Gerald Henderson | Role‑Min – Deep Bench Guard | 7.3 | Low | 2.3 | 0.7 | 1.3 | 0.2 | 2.1 | Very limited minutes; unlikely to significantly impact outcomes over full season, used sparingly in mop‑up / garbage time. | |
| William Bedford | Role‑Min – Deep Bench Big | 5.9 | Low | 2.8 | 1.4 | 0.1 | 0.5 | 2.4 | Minimal playing time; mostly depth insurance at center when rotations deepened or injuries occurred. | |
| Dave Greenwood | Role‑Min – Deep Bench Forward | 5.5 | Low | 1.6 | 2.1 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 2.6 | Very limited role; likely used to eat occasional minutes in blowouts or rest periods, without major impact. | |
| Stan Kimbrough | Role‑Min – Third‑String Guard / Emergency Backcourt | 5.0 | Low | 1.6 | 0.7 | 0.5 | 0.4 | 1.6 | Spot‑minutes guard, likely used in rare occasions; negligible season‑long impact. | |
| Scott Hastings | Role‑Min – Bench Forward / End‑of‑Bench Depth | 4.2 | Low | 1.1 | 0.8 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 1.6 | Deep bench forward, minimal minutes — depth piece only. | |
