A Simons is about the same on BpM as last season. But his raw team +/- is 12 pts worse than team average and 24 pts worse than his subs.
Jaylen Brown +/- numbers are almost as bad. Boucher's are somewhat worse.
The big minute lineup units look quite good but there must be significant trouble lower down.
And there is.
6 most used lineups average +24pts / 48 min. The remaining 66 lineups average -9.4.
"Flexibilty", "creativity", "warfare" deception is not working on average in the dink lineups and not close.
Modestly more pairs are negative than positive. Simons - Brown is -38pts / 48 min. at 15 minutes per game and the worst of non-trivial minute lineups.
