From 82games.com, I looked at the product of PER differential and minutes played. This is to make a measure of whom Corbin is playing too much or too little.

So far, Jefferson, Tinsley, and Kanter are hurting us by beig in the game too many minutes. However, as a measure of how bad we are, many of the alternatives are even worse. Gobert a better PER than Kanter, but has trouble staying on the floor from fouls. Williams and Rush would be worse than Jefferson. Only Harris seems to warrant more minutes.
 
I don't know if these numbers mean much 8 games in (especially regarding Williams and Rush), but the table is well formatted and the concept intriguing. I give this thread a "Bobby Hansen" on a scale of CJ Miles to Karl Malone.
 
Good thread.

Jefferson shoots Tinsley bad this year. I'm not worried about it with Marvin and Rush coming back. Kanter is a little more concerning given pre-season hype, but I think he just needs more time.
