Trevor Ariza Starter / Star [1.1] 32.9 Medium [1.1] 10.8 5.2 3.3 2.3 52.51 Defensive-minded wing whose value came from guarding top scorers and creating transition chances with steals.

Greivis Vásquez Key Contributor [1.05] 25.8 Medium [1.1] 8.9 2.6 5.4 1.0 41.35 Emerging playmaker who often energized the offense off the bench. Vásquez used his size and patience in pick-and-roll sets to find cutters and bigs, hinting at the larger role he would take in future seasons.  
Carl Landry Key Contributor [1.05] 24.4 Medium [1.1] 12.5 5.2 0.9 0.6 44.74 Reliable scoring big off the bench who attacked defenders with physical post moves and mid-range jumpers.

Jason Smith Key Contributor [1.05] 23.7 Medium [1.1] 9.9 4.9 0.9 1.5 39.73 Versatile frontcourt option who mixed mid-range shooting with rim protection. Smith’s mobility allowed him to space the floor offensively while still providing shot-blocking help defensively.  
Al-Farouq Aminu Key Contributor [1.05] 22.4 Low [1.0] 6.0 4.7 1.0 1.4 27.51 Defense-first wing whose role revolved around energy, rebounding, and guarding multiple positions. Aminu’s offensive involvement was modest, but his activity helped stabilize lineups defensively.  
Gustavo Ayón Key Contributor [1.05] 20.1 Low [1.0] 5.9 4.9 1.4 1.9 29.82 Underrated passing big who contributed across the stat sheet. Ayón’s court awareness allowed him to facilitate from the high post while also providing solid rebounding and defensive activity.  
Jerome Dyson Bench [1.0] 20.0 Medium [1.1] 7.4 2.1 2.0 1.4 28.38 Short-term backcourt contributor who played aggressive, attacking basketball in limited games. Dyson looked to push the pace and create offense with quick drives and active perimeter defense.  
Darryl Watkins Bench [1.0] 19.6 Low [1.0] 4.6 5.4 0.6 1.8 24.80 Physical interior reserve who focused on rebounding and rim protection. Watkins provided toughness around the basket in brief rotation appearances.  
Solomon Jones Bench [1.0] 17.8 Low [1.0] 5.5 3.7 0.6 1.0 21.60 Depth center used mainly for interior defense and rebounding in short stints. Jones provided size when the frontcourt rotation needed relief minutes.  
Xavier Henry Bench [1.0] 16.9 Medium [1.1] 5.3 2.4 0.8 0.8 20.46 Young wing whose minutes often came with the second unit, where he looked to attack off the dribble and create transition chances. His role focused on energy scoring rather than playmaking.  
Lance Thomas Bench [1.0] 15.0 Low [1.0] 4.0 3.0 0.3 0.4 15.40 Hustle forward who earned minutes through defense and rebounding effort. Thomas rarely handled the ball offensively but contributed through physical play and activity on the glass.
