| Karl Malone | Starter/Star (1.10) | 40.3 | High (1.20) | 29.0 | 11.8 | 3.3 | 2.1 | 121.18 | Utah’s attack still flowed through Malone on nearly every important possession, with Jerry Sloan trusting him to punish single coverage and force help defenders into difficult choices. Season coverage regularly described his relentless conditioning and physical style as the tone-setter for one of the league’s toughest frontcourts, while the Stockton pick-and-roll remained the offense’s defining action. (Diario AS) | All-Star (1991); All-NBA First Team (1991); 5th in MVP Voting (1991) |
| John Stockton | Starter/Star (1.10) | 37.8 | High (1.20) | 17.2 | 2.9 | 14.2 | 3.1 | 98.42 | Stockton dictated pace without dominating the shot count, keeping teammates involved while reading defenses several passes ahead. Writers covering the Jazz frequently highlighted how his patience and precision allowed Utah’s half-court offense to stay remarkably consistent, with the Malone partnership remaining the league’s model pick-and-roll combination. (Diario AS) | All-Star (1991); All-NBA Third Team (1991); NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1991); 12th in MVP Voting (1991); 7th in Defensive Player of the Year Voting (1991) |
| Jeff Malone | Starter/Star (1.10) | 35.7 | Medium (1.10) | 18.6 | 3.0 | 2.1 | 0.8 | 59.53 | Rather than creating offense from scratch, Jeff Malone thrived as Utah’s dependable perimeter scorer. Opponents couldn’t ignore him when doubling Karl Malone, and independent reporting often praised his polished mid-range game for giving the Jazz a reliable secondary option late in possessions. (Reddit) | None |
| Thurl Bailey | Key Contributor (1.05) | 30.3 | Medium (1.10) | 12.4 | 5.0 | 1.5 | 1.7 | 47.00 | Bailey embraced a sixth-man role without changing his aggressive scoring mentality. His ability to attack slower defenders and provide instant offense off the bench drew praise throughout the season, giving Utah valuable lineup flexibility whenever the starting frontcourt rested. (Basketball Reference) | 6th in Sixth Man of the Year Voting (1991) |
| Mark Eaton | Starter/Star (1.10) | 32.3 | Low (1.00) | 5.1 | 8.3 | 0.6 | 2.9 | 37.18 | Eaton’s influence extended well beyond the box score. Even as his offensive responsibilities declined, opponents consistently adjusted driving lanes because of his rim protection, allowing Utah’s perimeter defenders to pressure the ball with greater confidence. (Diario AS) | None |
| Blue Edwards | Starter/Star (1.10) | 26.0 | Medium (1.10) | 9.3 | 3.2 | 1.7 | 1.4 | 37.03 | As a rookie starter, Edwards supplied athleticism that complemented Utah’s veteran core instead of competing with it. Contemporary coverage noted his willingness to defend multiple positions and run the floor, helping balance a lineup built around experienced stars. (Basketball Reference) | None |
| Mike Brown | Bench (1.00) | 17.0 | Low (1.00) | 4.8 | 4.1 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 20.40 | Brown filled the backup center role with physical screens, rebounding and interior defense rather than scoring. Independent reporting rarely focused on him individually, reflecting a season spent reinforcing Utah’s frontcourt depth behind Mark Eaton. (Basketball Reference) | None |
| Darrell Griffith | Bench (1.00) | 13.4 | Low (1.00) | 5.7 | 1.2 | 0.5 | 0.7 | 16.20 | Griffith had shifted from franchise cornerstone to veteran reserve, yet coaches still valued his shooting experience and locker-room presence. His role became increasingly situational as Utah’s younger wings earned larger opportunities. (Basketball Reference) | None |
| Delaney Rudd | Bench (1.00) | 10.7 | Low (1.00) | 4.0 | 0.8 | 2.6 | 0.4 | 15.60 | Rudd quietly stabilized the second unit by protecting possessions and keeping the offense organized. Independent coverage was limited, but his steady ball handling made him a trusted backup behind Stockton throughout the regular season. | None |
| Tony Brown | Bench (1.00) | 11.6 | Low (1.00) | 3.4 | 1.7 | 0.6 | 0.2 | 11.80 | Brown appeared mostly in a reserve wing role, providing defensive effort whenever injuries or matchups required extra depth. Contemporary independent reporting on his season was limited outside of rotation updates. | None |
| Pat Cummings | Bench (1.00) | 6.5 | Low (1.00) | 3.8 | 1.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 10.20 | Cummings appeared in only a handful of games, leaving very little independent season coverage. His role was strictly experienced frontcourt insurance during a deep veteran campaign. | None |
| Andy Toolson | Bench (1.00) | 10.0 | Low (1.00) | 2.9 | 1.4 | 0.7 | 0.3 | 10.60 | Toolson earned occasional starts but spent most of the year as developmental wing depth. Available independent reporting centered on his outside shooting potential rather than a consistent rotation role. | None |
| Walter Palmer | Bench (1.00) | 3.0 | Low (1.00) | 1.4 | 0.8 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 5.20 | Palmer’s opportunities were brief, and contemporary independent reporting is scarce. He served primarily as emergency frontcourt depth behind Utah’s established big men. | None |
| Chris Munk | Bench (1.00) | 2.6 | Low (1.00) | 1.2 | 1.3 | 0.1 | 0.3 | 5.80 | Munk saw only limited minutes, resulting in very little season-specific independent coverage. His appearances came almost exclusively in low-leverage situations as developmental depth. | None |
| Dan O’Sullivan | Bench (1.00) | 4.0 | Low (1.00) | 1.0 | 0.8 | 0.2 | 0.0 | 4.00 | O’Sullivan remained outside the regular rotation for most of the year. Independent reporting from the season is minimal, reflecting his role as a young reserve center. | None |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 241.2 | — | 104.0 | 40.7 | 27.0 | 13.5 | — | Utah finished 54-28 during the 1990-91 regular season behind the established Stockton-Malone partnership, pairing elite half-court execution with one of the NBA’s most disciplined defensive systems.

| Karl Malone | Starter/Star (1.10) | 42.6 | High (1.20) | 29.7 | 13.3 | 3.2 | 2.2 | 127.51 | Utah’s offense continued to orbit around Malone’s power game, but Portland’s aggressive help defenders forced him into tougher looks than he typically saw in the regular season. Even so, reporters covering the series noted that he never backed away from contact and repeatedly carried the scoring load while also dominating the glass. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| John Stockton | Starter/Star (1.10) | 41.4 | High (1.20) | 18.2 | 4.7 | 13.8 | 2.4 | 102.64 | Stockton controlled Utah’s rhythm from the opening tip, probing until Portland committed extra defenders before delivering passes into scoring areas. Game coverage consistently highlighted his calm decision-making under pressure, even as the Trail Blazers made every possession increasingly physical. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| Jeff Malone | Starter/Star (1.10) | 39.0 | Medium (1.10) | 20.7 | 3.9 | 3.2 | 1.1 | 69.58 | Working as the Jazz’s secondary scorer, Jeff Malone punished defenses whenever attention shifted toward Karl Malone. His pull-up jumper and off-ball movement gave Utah another dependable half-court option, and several key baskets came after curling off screens rather than isolation plays. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| Blue Edwards | Starter/Star (1.10) | 26.8 | Medium (1.10) | 10.1 | 3.1 | 1.8 | 1.0 | 38.72 | Edwards filled the difficult assignment of defending athletic wings while adding transition energy. Although a late turnover in Game 2 drew attention, coaches continued trusting him because his length and activity fit Utah’s preferred defensive matchups. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| Mike Brown | Bench (1.00) | 24.8 | Low (1.00) | 9.6 | 7.3 | 0.6 | 0.4 | 35.80 | Brown quietly delivered some of Utah’s most valuable reserve minutes. His rebounding effort stood out during the Portland series, and contemporaneous reporting specifically credited him with helping the Jazz reverse the battle on the boards after falling behind early. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| Thurl Bailey | Key Contributor (1.05) | 25.3 | Medium (1.10) | 7.6 | 3.6 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 30.72 | Bailey remained Jerry Sloan’s first scoring option off the bench, though Portland’s length limited his usual offensive rhythm. Even so, his versatility allowed Utah to play bigger lineups without sacrificing mobility, and he was regularly trusted in late-game situations. (Los Angeles Times) | None |
| Mark Eaton | Starter/Star (1.10) | 28.3 | Low (1.00) | 4.3 | 6.2 | 0.6 | 1.5 | 27.06 | Eaton’s impact came almost entirely at the defensive end, where his size discouraged drives despite Portland’s quick frontcourt. His block numbers dipped, but the series coverage still reflected how often opponents adjusted their shot selection around him. | None |
| Delaney Rudd | Bench (1.00) | 6.4 | Low (1.00) | 2.7 | 0.2 | 1.9 | 0.3 | 10.20 | Rudd stepped in briefly to spell Stockton and keep Utah’s offense organized. Independent postseason reporting devoted little attention to his individual play, illustrating how his responsibility centered on maintaining structure rather than changing games. | None |
| Darrell Griffith | Bench (1.00) | 3.0 | Low (1.00) | 3.3 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 8.00 | Griffith’s postseason opportunities were limited as younger perimeter players handled most wing minutes. Contemporary coverage mentioned him mainly as an experienced veteran available when extra shooting or leadership was needed. | None |
| Tony Brown | Bench (1.00) | 7.3 | Low (1.00) | 2.3 | 0.8 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 6.80 | Brown appeared only in short stretches, leaving very little independent playoff analysis. The available reporting places him firmly in a situational reserve role behind Utah’s established backcourt rotation. | None |
| Walter Palmer | Bench (1.00) | 3.0 | Low (1.00) | 1.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 3.00 | Palmer was used sparingly and generated almost no independent postseason coverage. His appearances were limited to emergency frontcourt depth behind Utah’s veteran big men. | None |
| Andy Toolson | Bench (1.00) | 2.0 | Low (1.00) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2.00 | Toolson saw only brief minutes, so contemporary playoff reporting on his contributions is scarce. His role remained developmental while Utah relied on its experienced rotation in meaningful possessions. | None |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 240.0 | — | 105.1 | 43.0 | 26.2 | 10.2 | — | Utah reached the 1991 Western Conference Semifinals before falling to Portland in five games, with the series remembered for the Jazz’s rebounding surge and several tightly contested finishes despite the eventual defeat.
