PER and BPM, with minutes, are converted to Wins at the same scale as WS and eWin, summing to league games played this season. Equivalent wins that would have accrued with career rates (in current minutes) are subtracted to arrive at improvement in each stat. Column 1 is the average of the 4.
Next 10 : Dosunmu, KyGeorge, ANembhard, Reaves, MChristie, Barnes, ABlack, Marshall, DMitchell, JulChampagnie

Those having a relatively bad year, near the end of the line, or just not what they used to be -- but still getting major minutes:

All-Star Break, season at 2/3.
As described in previous post, Wins more or less than what career rates would have produced in this year's minutes.
Team by team, players who are plus or minus .50 in extra wins.
Rookies are included, relative to historic rookie-season averages at their draft position. These are indicated by R (and draft rank) in the (mostly empty) column that includes last-year teams for players who have changed teams.
Undrafted rookies: Rtw = two-way contract. Rx is unspecified.
e484 at the far right is last season -- not career.

Zubac and Jackson are no longer with the teams shown, but still not significant time with new teams.

The gainers look bigger than the losers, and in fact the whole league of returning players sums to around +40 eWins.
We may attribute this to rookies getting beat up for most of their minutes, and some major players from last year who aren't competing this year:

These 1000-minute guys sum to 48 eWins last year and about 1.21 team minutes total. Scaled to 82 games, just about a 40-win team.
They are almost all guards!
