Team Impact Spotlight

Player Name Role Tier MPG Usage Tier PPG RPG APG STK (SPG+BPG) Impact Index* Notes Awards
Clark Kellogg Primary Two-Way Anchor 34.1 High 20.1 10.6 2.8 2.2 17.8 As a rookie, Kellogg led the team in both scoring and rebounding — one of the few rookies in NBA history to average 20+ PPG and 10+ RPG. He notched 20+ points in 48 games and 10+ boards in as many; exemplified inside scoring and rebounding punch while showing hustle on defense.  All-Rookie First Team (1983) 
Herb Williams Starting Big & Rim Protector 32.2 High-Medium 16.9 7.5 3.4 2.9 15.3 As the veteran center, Williams provided steady scoring and solid rebounding, while anchoring rim protection — his block numbers ranked among the team’s best. He saw a heavy role as starter (74 GS) and served as the primary big-man presence.  none listed
Billy Knight Secondary Scoring Wing 28.3 High-Medium 17.1 4.1 2.4 0.9 12.3 Knight offered consistent scoring from the wing, providing a reliable 17 PPG — valuable given the team’s lack of offensive balance. His FG% was strong for his volume, indicating efficient shot selection and dependable shooting.  none listed
George Johnson Frontcourt Glue / Energy Big 28.0 Medium 11.6 6.6 2.7 1.5 11.2 Johnson offered solid frontcourt depth, contributing rebounding, moderate scoring and some playmaking. His role seems to be as a complementary big — helping out on rebounds, pushing for second-chance opportunities, and spacing the floor inside.  none listed
Clemon Johnson Reserve Big / Spot Starter 23.8 Medium-Low 9.7 6.3 2.3 2.0 10.1 In limited minutes (51 GP, only 7 starts), Johnson made the most of his time: contributing solid rebounding and also producing defensively (blocks + steals). Provided interior presence off the bench.  none listed
Butch Carter 3-and-D / Supporting Guard Wing 21.2 Medium-Low 10.5 1.9 2.4 1.2 9.5 Carter’s lower scoring load masked his value as a role player — he added perimeter scoring, some defense (steals), and secondary ball-handling/assists. A useful “3-and-D + secondary ball-handler” piece off the bench/staggered lineups.  none listed
Jerry Sichting Facilitator / Playmaker Guard 31.2 Medium-Low 9.3 2.0 5.6 1.3 9.6 As the team’s main distributor (led team in assists per game), Sichting served as the floor-general. His scoring was modest, but he created offense, pushed tempo, and added some perimeter defense with steals.  none listed
Russ Schoene Spot Minutes Forward / Bench Depth 16.8 Low 7.8 3.3 0.9 0.9 6.4 Played limited minutes; contributed occasional bench scoring and some rebounding. Likely a depth piece, giving starters rest while maintaining modest production.  none listed
Brad Branson Deep Bench Forward 11.0 Low 5.5 2.8 0.7 0.8 5.3 In minimal minutes, Branson was low-usage and likely a situational bench big. His per-game production was modest, but he offered some interior rebounding and spot minutes. none listed
Marty Byrnes Reserve Wing / Situational 18.0 Low 4.9 2.4 2.2 0.6 4.6 Byrnes’s role appears limited — likely a situational wing sub. He offered spot minutes, modest scoring, and occasional ball-movement / defense.  none listed
John Duren Third-String Guard / Depth 17.5 Low 4.5 1.3 2.4 0.9 4.6 With low usage and scoring, Duren’s contribution was marginal — perhaps used sparingly for back-ups, garbage time, or to spell the starting guards. none listed
Jose Slaughter End-of-Bench Guard 8.2 Very Low 3.6 1.1 0.8 0.7 3.1 Very limited role and minutes, minimal impact on offense or defense; likely used only sporadically.  none listed
Guy Morgan Deep Bench / Rookie Depth Guard 5.8 Very Low 1.9 2.1 0.9 0.3 2.6 Hardly used — minimal minutes and negligible statistical impact; essentially a deep-bench/reserve guard.  none listed
