Team Impact Spotlight
| PLAYER NAME | ROLE TIER | MPG | USAGE TIER | PPG | RPG | APG | STK | IMPACT INDEX | NOTES | AWARDS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chris Paul | Starter / Star [1.1] | 38.0 | High [1.2] | 18.7 | 4.2 | 10.7 | 2.3 | 94.83 | Ball-dominant playmaker who dictated the Hornets’ entire offensive rhythm, leaning heavily on pick-and-roll orchestration and mid-range pull-ups. Paul’s court vision powered one of the league’s most efficient half-court attacks, and he again finished among the NBA leaders in assists while pairing it with disruptive perimeter defense. | NBA All-Star 2010 |
| David West | Starter / Star [1.1] | 36.4 | High [1.2] | 19.0 | 7.5 | 3.0 | 1.6 | 81.03 | Face-up scoring power forward who served as Paul’s primary partner in the two-man game. West lived in the mid-range and elbow areas, punishing defenders with jumpers and strong post positioning while quietly adding playmaking out of double teams. | |
| Emeka Okafor | Starter / Star [1.1] | 28.9 | Medium [1.1] | 10.4 | 9.0 | 0.7 | 2.2 | 54.27 | Interior anchor whose contributions leaned toward physical defense and rebounding rather than offensive volume. Okafor controlled the glass, blocked shots around the rim, and finished efficiently on dump-offs created by Paul’s penetration. | |
| Darren Collison | Key Contributor [1.05] | 27.8 | High [1.2] | 12.4 | 2.5 | 5.7 | 1.1 | 54.68 | Rookie guard who unexpectedly carried a starting workload when Paul missed significant time. Collison pushed the pace and proved comfortable running the same pick-and-roll system, posting strong assist numbers and several high-scoring games during that stretch. | 4th in NBA Rookie of the Year Voting 2010 |
| Marcus Thornton | Key Contributor [1.05] | 25.6 | High [1.2] | 14.5 | 2.9 | 1.6 | 1.0 | 50.40 | Aggressive scoring guard whose green light off the bench changed the team’s offensive tone. Thornton attacked defenders with pull-up jumpers and confident three-point shooting, giving New Orleans a microwave scorer capable of heating up quickly. | 10th in NBA Sixth Man of the Year Voting 2010 |
| Peja Stojaković | Starter / Star [1.1] | 31.4 | Medium [1.1] | 12.6 | 3.7 | 1.5 | 0.9 | 45.01 | Veteran perimeter sniper who stretched defenses with deep shooting range and quick off-ball movement. Even late in his career, Stojaković’s spacing opened driving lanes for Paul and the guards. | |
| Darius Songaila | Key Contributor [1.05] | 18.8 | Medium [1.1] | 7.2 | 3.1 | 0.9 | 1.0 | 28.26 | Skilled reserve big who provided reliable half-court scoring from the bench. Songaila leaned on short jumpers and crafty post footwork, helping stabilize the frontcourt rotation when starters rested. | |
| Devin Brown | Starter / Star [1.1] | 24.8 | Medium [1.1] | 9.7 | 2.8 | 1.5 | 0.9 | 36.05 | Veteran wing inserted into the starting lineup for much of the season, mainly tasked with defensive assignments and spot-up shooting. Brown filled a utility role while the team navigated injuries in the backcourt. | |
| James Posey | Key Contributor [1.05] | 22.5 | Low [1.0] | 5.2 | 4.3 | 1.5 | 0.7 | 24.57 | Defense-first veteran who functioned as a glue guy on the wing. Posey guarded multiple positions and spaced the floor from the corners, relying more on experience and positioning than scoring volume. | NBA Champion 2006; NBA Champion 2008 |
| Morris Peterson | Key Contributor [1.05] | 21.2 | Low [1.0] | 7.1 | 2.7 | 0.9 | 0.6 | 23.73 | Rotation shooter used to provide spacing around Paul’s playmaking. Peterson’s offense largely came from catch-and-shoot threes and transition looks while he handled secondary wing defense. | |
| Bobby Brown | Bench [1.0] | 14.9 | Medium [1.1] | 6.6 | 0.8 | 2.1 | 0.4 | 21.78 | Scoring-minded backup guard whose role leaned toward instant offense. Brown attacked off the dribble and looked for pull-up jumpers when the second unit needed a spark. | |
| Aaron Gray | Bench [1.0] | 10.9 | Low [1.0] | 3.6 | 3.8 | 0.8 | 0.9 | 18.20 | Physical reserve center who handled the gritty work—screens, rebounds, and interior defense. Gray’s efficiency came from simple finishes around the basket rather than self-created offense. | |
| Julian Wright | Bench [1.0] | 12.8 | Low [1.0] | 3.8 | 2.1 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 14.40 | Athletic forward whose minutes came mostly from defensive energy and transition activity. Wright used his length to contest shots and occasionally spark fast breaks. | |
| Hilton Armstrong | Bench [1.0] | 13.3 | Low [1.0] | 2.8 | 3.4 | 0.9 | 0.8 | 15.80 | Reserve big whose responsibilities focused on rim protection and rebounding. Armstrong’s offensive touches were limited to put-backs and simple finishes. | |
| Sean Marks | Bench [1.0] | 5.4 | Low [1.0] | 0.7 | 1.6 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 5.20 | Veteran depth center used sparingly to provide size and positional defense in brief frontcourt appearances. | NBA Champion 2003 |
| Jason Hart | Bench [1.0] | 4.3 | Low [1.0] | 0.5 | 0.5 | 1.3 | 0.6 | 5.80 | Emergency point guard who appeared in only a few games, primarily tasked with basic ball movement and defensive pressure during limited minutes. | |
