Just saw that 82games updated their Simple Rating. I've been waiting on those since Kanter had his run of big minute games. He jumped to the front of the pack at +6.6. Hayward also had a solid boost up to +5.1.
Jefferson still has the worst on/off net at -8.6. Best are Kanter, Carrol, Burks. And that seems to be validated with Marvin's game looking far more energetic and productive with the move to the bench and fewer minutes on the court with Al. Nash talked this week about how getting handling the ball more, but particularly getting more shots, can really change how involved in the game a guy is. He said even for himself, shooting more helps him stay in the flow, but he also recognized that for other guys so that is why he wouldn't shoot excessively. Jefferson is somehow sucking the life out of most units he plays with, even though some of his efficiency and production numbers would say he's playing okay.
