I went through roster player by player to see if there were counting statistic or eye-test trends to see who was actually playing well, compared to their last couple of years. I’ll start with who is performing evenly, then the guys who are trending downwards, and end with who’s trending up. Enes Kanter and Jabari Parker are not included in this because I don’t feel they should play more than they actually are.
Performing Evenly

Timelord is receiving way more minutes than in the past (32 per game compared to 19), but has not seen the type of major jumps in his counting stats you would expect from the extra playing time, except blocks, where he’s averaging a career-leading two and a half per game.
