Just for comparisation. THJ is still last in FG% and second last in TS%. Maxi for example has a better 3-point % despite his recent cold stretch.

Power rankings do include recency bias... how would you rank these 12?

They do but players jumping from last two first is a little bit to much for me. I would still have Kleber and Wright at 3/4. Probably followed by THJ. Powell and Seth are the "losers" of the last two weeks.

Why did Seth drop now? He played good, then got ill.

Right now it's Luka, Kleber, Zinger, all others aren't consistent enough yet to rank for me.

Wouldn´t say that Seth got any worse but THJ, Brunson and Wright all had a good week and the Mavs played their best basketball of the season without him.
I agree on your overall take that the three mentioned guys are probably the easiest to rank. KP despite his early struggles is getting better and even though he hasn´t played like the second best player on the team in the early games he is clearly the most talented behind Luka. Kleber always contributes. Even on a bad shooting night his defense is a valuable asset for the Mavs. We don´t need to talk about Luka. He is one pace to break all sophomore records and leads the MVP race.

Rest of the team has more question marks and we don´t know who is going to perform best on a given night.
Delon was probably the most consistent among them. THJ has both the best and worst games among those guys.

Only guys that really stands out as playing worse than he did last year is Powell. It´s painful to watch him on defense. He is getting bullied by players that are at least 5-6 inches smaller than he is and is completly outmatched against any real bigman.
