Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG+BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Roger Brown Alpha – Primary Scorer & Go-to Wing 39.1 High usage (scoring load) 19.6 8.5 4.3 ? (19.6 + 8.5 + 4.3 + STK) ÷ 2 → high As the veteran wing, he was the main offensive driver, generating volume scoring and playmaking — a go-to in crunch moments. In the era web-history of this team (the Indiana Pacers), his scoring and leadership were central.  MVP-7, AS (All-Star)
Freddie Lewis Alpha – Lead Guard & Secondary Scorer/Playmaker 38.4 High usage (balancing scoring + assists) 20.6 5.8 2.4 ? very high As the main backcourt guard, he shouldered much of the scoring and facilitated additional offense — a primary ball-handler and shot-maker, complementing the wing scorer. Known for steady, clutch guard play in this era. AS (All-Star)
Bob Netolicky Beta – Starting Frontcourt All-Arounder 33.6 Moderate-High usage (frontcourt scoring + rebounding) 16.3 11.5 1.0 ? high A dependable PF in the frontcourt, supplying strong rebounding and interior scoring. Historically, he was part of the core frontcourt alongside hall-class big men on the Pacers.  AS (All-Star)
Reggie Harding Beta – Backup Center / Rotation Big 33.6 Moderate usage (inside scoring & boards) 13.4 13.4 2.1 ? solid As a center in limited games, offered size and rebounding presence. Provided interior minutes when starters rested.  
Jimmy Rayl Gamma – Rotational Guard / Off-ball Shooter/Facilitator 29.6 Medium usage (spot scoring + occasional facilitation) 12.0 3.2 2.8 ? moderate Likely used as a secondary guard — spot-up shooting/off-ball scoring, and occasional facilitation — rather than primary playmaker.  
Ollie Darden Gamma – Role Frontcourt / Energy Rebounder 26.6 Medium usage (support scoring + rebounds) 12.0 6.8 0.9 ? moderate Provided frontcourt depth, offering some scoring and rebounding — more of a support role rather than focal point.  
Bobby Edmonds Delta – Bench Wing / Spot-Up Scorer 18.6 Low-Medium usage (bench scoring) 8.0 5.2 0.4 ? low-moderate A rotational wing, likely coming off the bench for spacing/scoring bursts when starters rested.  
George Peeples Delta – Backup Center / Low-Usage Big 18.5 Low usage 6.0 5.8 0.4 ? low Served as backup center, primarily providing interior minutes, size, and occasional scoring/rebounding.  
Jerry Harkness Delta – Reserve Guard / Situational Ball-handler 17.5 Low usage 7.0 2.7 1.8 ? low-moderate As a reserve guard, likely used for bench minutes, ball-handling relief, and situational plays rather than as a primary offensive option.  
Matt Aitch Delta – Fringe Rotation Frontcourt 14.2 Low usage 5.6 3.6 0.4 ? low Minimal role — likely spot minutes for rest, garbage time or specific matchups; limited impact on offense/defense.  
Jimmy Dawson Delta – Deep Bench Guard 13.7 Very low usage 5.6 1.0 1.5 ? low Deep bench guard, probably spot-sub minutes or end-of-game mop-up time.  
Ron Bonham Delta – Limited Wing/Forward Role 10.1 Very low usage 5.8 1.4 0.3 ? low Very limited minutes — likely used sparsely for depth, occasional shooting or matchup-based usage.  
Ron Kozlicki Delta – Fringe Wing/Forward 9.6 Very low usage 2.9 1.9 0.4 ? very low Marginal role — minimal statistical contribution; likely end-of-bench reserve.
