1) Seth - I loved him when he was with the Mavs before, so this "new JET" thing makes me quite happy. Would love it if folks would stop bagging on his defense. He isn't that bad if he doesn't get switched onto a big guy.
2) THJ - One of the year's three biggest surprises. It's the shooting.
3) Maxi - He's gone downhill over the past month or so, but his performance against Zion - love it.
4) WCS - Yes, you read that right. RC just needs to lay it down and give the man his minutes. He's already effective. Get him used to the system, and he's functionally a far-upgraded healthy Powell. Yes, I really do believe that based on what I've seen.
5) Brunson - His value is best perceived in his absence. He's definitely caught up to Wright.
6) DFS - I have to downgrade him below the two above based on his 3-point shot falling off, especially with the observation that he does that every year.
7) Wright - He has been contributing a bit more in the past few games. I was ready to stick a fork in him. In any event, even if he plays to his potential the rest of the way and in the playoffs, it's to get him back up to neutral-or-better trade value. We need Brunson more, tbh.
8) Boban - Still can't get out of that spot duty role, which is more than a little bit silly given how successful and productive he is when he does play.
9) JJB - He will definitely play a role in the playoffs.
10) Lee - Has contributed a bit lately. Still not a guy you want to ride a lot of minutes.
11) MKG - Disappointing so far, but he hasn't gotten much real burn.
12) Jackson - Playing a bit better, but I hope that that's just to raise his trade value. We need better players at the end of the bench as well as one or two upgrades in the starting lineup.
13) Cleveland - Might as well trade him to Cleveland.
14) Reaves - Might as well be Big Country Reaves.
Agree with almost everything. I would switch DFS with WCS. The #7 and below are guys that we should either look to trade or not resign (except the 2-way players).
