Here are my thoughts:
- Not really too much has changed; Evans and Johnson are still playing really well; Jack, Calderon, and Andersen are playing okay; and the four horsemen are still stinking up the joint (although DeRozan somewhat less so)
- But Weems has improved and - in limited minutes - so has Dorsey. Wright has regressed in limited minutes
- None of that is surprising, given past histories and preseason numbers
- One thing the take into account: using the automated positions, Barbosa is listed as a PG - which makes him look worse than he really is - and has Jack playing more time at SG - which makes him look better than he is. Kleiza is also listed as a SG for part of his minutes, which (very scarily) means he's actually been worse than what we see here
- At -0.9 wins produced Bargnani "leads" the league. Just thought I'd put that out there
- At -0.6 wins produced, Kleiza is close behind Bargnani at "7th" (and remember, he's actually played even worse than those numbers indicate)
- Reggie is now 30th in total wins produced, right around Kobe Bryant (27th)
- Raps have played a little bit better than their record suggests, with 3.6 wins produced and only a 2-8 record to show for it
- The bigs who should be getting playing time: Evans, Johnson, Dorsey, and Andersen
- The guards/smalls who should be getting playing time: Jack, Calderon, Weems, and...uhhhh...either Wright (not really a small, but we're dealing with lemons here) or DeRozan
Coming up soon: team stats for week three.
