NBA winners and losers

I was struck while watching the Sixers that they have a number of guys who have been given a new opportunity and have done well.

Thinking more broadly:

1. Guys who have really made a statement this year include Capella and rookies Simmons, Mitchell, Sabonis and Tatum

2. Guys who have really done well after being given another chance include Baynes, Bellinelli, Ilyasova, JJ Reddick, Rondo

3. Guys who definitely went downhill include Bogut and Delly (sadly)

Who have I missed?

Whiteside went downhill big time

I'm gonna need Baynes to stop getting dunked on. There is no empty space left on my walls thanks to all the posters he has been on this season.

JJ Redick "given another chance"? A team paid him $20,000,000 to leave a good team lol

That's what you get for involving yourself with the Kardashians.

From the remaining pool of teams;

Winners: Jrue Holiday, Lebron (dispelled those 'not clutch' naysayers), Tatum

Losers: Demar (you can't have games like that when you're a $138m player), Brett Brown (should be playing Fultz), Serge Ibaka (7ppg and 5rpg on 30% shooting in the Cavs series)

Brett Brown a loser for not playing Fultz? No.

I would question the rest brown has given Simmons and embed this series as they both look tired(Simmons especially). Fultz has shown a different style to Simmons and TJ and could be useful for small minutes.
Holmes, fultz and Johnson could all help out if only for 5 mins to mix up the roster and make Boston try something different defensively.
