The San Antonio Spurs have seemingly soared past their brief early-season hiccup and returned to a familiar place near the top of the Western Conference.
However, simple results don't tell the entire story.
"We're not playing well, but the good thing is we're getting wins," Manu Ginobili said after San Antonio improved to 16-4, per Paul Garcia of Project Spurs. Since then, the team has rattled off a 5-1 mark and sits at 21-5 for the season.
Part of San Antonio's struggles still stem from the expected adjustment period for a roster restocked with new players. But soon, the Spurs will need to eliminate their issues on a more consistent basis.
Since roles differ across the team, players are not all graded on the same scale. For example, judging Kawhi Leonard and Bryn Forbes using the same criteria would not be fair. Expectations based on previous production and current role serve as the by-player guide.
