Truck Robinson Power Core / Interior Workhorse 37.1 High (Post-Centric Offense) 19.1 9.7 2.4 1.0 16.1 Monster in the paint, carried rebounding load and consistent interior scoring. Durable and physical, setting tone nightly. Slightly less efficient from FT line limited upside.

Walter Davis Scoring Specialist / Wing Creator 21.5 Moderate-High (Shot Creation Focus) 14.4 1.9 2.9 0.9 10.1 Still an offensive craftsman when healthy. Limited minutes reduced rhythm, but scoring efficiency remained elite. Underrated playmaking flashes.
Rich Kelley Interior Facilitator / Secondary Center 23.4 Moderate (Low Scoring, High Passing) 7.9 6.1 3.6 1.7 9.7 Steady backup center who brought IQ and rebounding. Passed well out of the high post and protected the rim competently. A classic team stabilizer.

Larry Nance Athletic Prospect / Rim Pressure Forward 14.8 Low-Moderate (Emerging Scorer) 6.6 3.2 1.0 1.4 6.1 Young and springy, showed defensive flashes and finishing touch. Still developing but hinted at elite potential. A quiet breakout in the making.
Jeff Cook Utility Forward / Physical Rebounder 17.1 Low (Supportive Interior) 5.1 4.0 1.3 0.8 5.6 Glue guy who rebounded and defended bigger forwards. Struggled with efficiency but valuable for second-unit hustle.
Dudley Bradley Defensive Guard / Disruption Specialist 14.6 Low (Defensive Usage) 5.1 1.4 1.3 1.4 4.6 Known for quick hands and deflections. Offered strong perimeter defense off the bench, though limited offensively.

Craig Dykema Developmental Wing 3.2 Low 1.3 0.4 0.5 0.1 1.1 Rookie contributor in small bursts. Raw skill but solid shooting percentages hint at untapped potential.
John McCullough Depth Guard / Spot Shooter 2.9 Low 2.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 1.9 Brief stint, shot the ball well in limited appearances. Primarily a practice-court presence.
