HeatingUp Impact Index: Regular Season Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Tim Duncan Starter/Star 39.1 High 21.1 11.9 2.7 3.2 102.70 Franchise cornerstone from day one, Duncan operated as a polished two-way power forward rather than a typical rookie. His low-post scoring, defensive timing and elite rebounding immediately transformed San Antonio into a 56-win team, and his 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks gave the Spurs a reliable focal point on both ends. (Wikipedia) Rookie of the Year 1998, All-Star 1998, All-NBA First Team 1998, NBA All-Rookie First Team 1998
David Robinson Starter/Star 33.7 High 21.6 10.6 2.7 3.5 100.06 Anchoring the middle as “The Admiral,” Robinson balanced scoring efficiency with elite rim protection. His ability to finish inside, clean the glass and erase mistakes defensively gave San Antonio one of the league’s strongest interior combinations alongside Duncan. (Wikipedia) All-Star 1998, All-NBA Second Team 1998
Avery Johnson Starter/Star 35.7 Medium 10.2 2.0 7.9 1.3 50.14 Running the offense at a deliberate pace, Johnson functioned as the team’s primary table-setter. His 7.9 assists reflected how often he organized possessions and fed the Spurs’ twin-tower frontcourt while limiting unnecessary offensive chaos. (Wikipedia)
Sean Elliott Starter/Star 28.1 Medium 9.3 3.4 1.7 1.1 37.27 Before a knee injury cut his season short, Elliott filled an important wing-scoring role. He spaced the floor, provided secondary shot creation and gave the Spurs a needed perimeter option around their dominant interior stars. (Wikipedia)
Vinny Del Negro Key Contributor 31.9 Medium 9.5 2.8 3.4 0.8 38.19 Working mostly as a complementary guard, Del Negro supplied efficient perimeter shooting and steady ball movement. His ability to play on or off the ball helped stabilize the backcourt around Johnson’s playmaking. (Wikipedia)
Jaren Jackson Key Contributor 27.1 Medium 8.8 2.6 1.9 0.8 32.34 Functioning as a floor-spacing specialist, Jackson stretched defenses with perimeter shooting and led the Spurs in made three-pointers. His shooting created valuable room for San Antonio’s frontcourt-heavy attack. (Wikipedia)
Chuck Person Key Contributor 23.9 Medium 6.7 3.3 1.4 0.7 27.03 Even late in his career, Person remained a designated long-range threat. Much of his offensive value came from forcing defenses to respect his perimeter shooting and opening driving or post-up opportunities for teammates.
Will Perdue Key Contributor 18.9 Low 5.0 6.8 0.7 0.9 28.14 Serving as a physical reserve big, Perdue focused on rebounding, screening and interior defense. His strong work on the glass allowed San Antonio to maintain size and toughness when the starters rested.
Monty Williams Key Contributor 18.3 Low 6.3 2.5 1.2 0.8 21.60 Williams brought energy and defensive versatility off the bench. His offensive role was modest, but he consistently filled gaps and provided dependable wing depth throughout the season.
Cory Alexander Bench 13.5 Low 4.5 1.3 1.9 0.8 17.00 Alexander handled backup point guard duties and injected some pace into reserve units. His quickness and willingness to attack gave the second unit a different look from the starting backcourt.
Malik Rose Bench 8.1 Low 3.0 1.7 0.4 0.5 11.20 Rose played with physicality beyond his minutes, attacking rebounds and competing inside. As a young reserve, he showed flashes of the hustle-oriented role that would later define his career. (Wikipedia)
Carl Herrera Bench 8.9 Low 2.9 1.6 0.4 0.5 10.80 Herrera’s contributions came primarily through frontcourt depth. He supplied spot minutes, physical defense and veteran stability when called upon.
Reggie Geary Bench 11.0 Low 2.5 1.1 1.2 0.8 11.20 A defense-first reserve guard, Geary focused on ball pressure and keeping the offense organized. His offensive usage stayed limited, but he provided useful depth behind Johnson.
Brad Lohaus Bench 11.3 Low 2.1 1.3 0.6 0.3 8.60 Lohaus saw limited action but offered a different skill set as a floor-spacing big. His willingness to shoot from outside added occasional lineup flexibility.

Tim Duncan Starter/Star 41.6 High 20.7 9.0 1.9 3.2 91.87 Operating as San Antonio’s primary interior scorer, Duncan looked remarkably poised for a rookie in a deep playoff run. His footwork around the basket, defensive rotations and ability to deliver 20.7 points with 2.6 blocks gave the Spurs a dependable two-way anchor throughout the postseason.
David Robinson Starter/Star 39.2 High 19.4 14.1 2.6 4.5 106.13 Functioning as the defensive backbone of the frontcourt, Robinson controlled games with rebounding and rim protection. Even when his scoring efficiency dipped, his 14.1 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game consistently tilted possession battles in San Antonio’s favor.
Avery Johnson Starter/Star 38.0 High 17.3 1.4 6.1 1.0 67.06 As the lead playmaker, Johnson pushed far more scoring responsibility than usual while still directing the offense. His efficient 60.4% shooting and steady decision-making helped connect the Spurs’ perimeter and post attack during the playoff run.
Jaren Jackson Starter/Star 35.4 Medium 10.2 4.3 1.6 0.7 40.74 Working mainly as a floor-spacing wing, Jackson’s value came from stretching defenses beyond the arc. The shooting percentages were inconsistent, but opponents still had to account for his high-volume three-point attempts.
Vinny Del Negro Key Contributor 31.4 Medium 10.7 2.7 3.2 0.9 38.89 Playing a complementary backcourt role, Del Negro blended secondary ball-handling with efficient shot selection. His ability to score without dominating possessions fit neatly alongside Johnson and the Spurs’ star big men.
Will Perdue Key Contributor 21.2 Low 4.0 6.7 0.1 1.7 26.25 Serving as the physical reserve center, Perdue focused on screening, rebounding and protecting the paint. His playoff minutes were often about maintaining the team’s interior presence when Robinson rested.
Chuck Person Key Contributor 21.8 Medium 5.8 3.0 0.8 0.4 23.10 Used primarily as a veteran shooting specialist, Person spent much of his floor time creating spacing. His willingness to launch from deep helped open driving and post-up opportunities despite limited overall usage.
Monty Williams Bench 5.6 Low 2.4 1.2 0.2 0.0 7.60 Filling a small reserve role on the wing, Williams provided energy and defensive effort in short stretches. His contributions were less about volume and more about maintaining lineup stability.
Malik Rose Bench 3.6 Low 2.0 1.4 0.2 0.2 7.60 Bringing his trademark hustle off the bench, Rose attacked rebounds aggressively and played with noticeable physicality whenever he entered the game.
Reggie Geary Bench 6.6 Low 1.3 0.3 0.9 0.1 5.20 Geary’s minutes came largely in relief duty, where he concentrated on ball pressure and basic playmaking rather than offensive production.
Carl Herrera Bench 5.0 Low 0.4 0.8 0.2 0.0 2.80 Used sparingly in the frontcourt rotation, Herrera provided veteran depth and physical defense in limited postseason appearances.
Brad Lohaus Bench 2.5 Low 0.0 0.5 0.3 0.3 2.20 Lohaus saw only brief action, serving as emergency frontcourt depth while offering occasional floor-spacing potential from the big-man position.
TEAM TOTALS 242.8 91.8 43.6 17.3 12.7 419.44 San Antonio’s playoff identity revolved around the Duncan-Robinson frontcourt, which dominated the glass and protected the rim, while Avery Johnson orchestrated an offense built around interior efficiency and half-court execution.
