Wemby is currently #1 in LEBRON WAR, a stat that accounts for minutes played to measure aggregate impact.

He’s #1 in LEBRON, #2 on offense, and #1 on defense.

Luka is #2 overall and #1 on offense. Strip away the optimization and look just at Overall Talent and Luka is #1.

The lineup of

Luka
Reaves
Thybulle
LaRavia
Kessler

Has the 4th best stable net rating in the NBA so far this season. 10th on offense and 9th on defense.

The same group but with Williams in for LaRavia is 9th.

Denver has #3 and #10. No other teams have 2 lineups in the top 10.

Boston’s been impressive so far. We’ll have a new projected standings page up at BBall Index shortly and Boston’s currently profiling as a 59.7 win team and the #1 seed.

They started as a 57.0 projected win team to start the year (and the #1 seed)
