17 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 29 minutes in a 120-105 win vs Grizzlies
Carroll has been the Raptors’ third or fourth best player this season, which is great. After his injury-riddled season last year, his progression is impressive, to say the least.
Devin Harris

0 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks in 11 minutes in a 94-87 loss vs Spurs
In his first game back from injury, Harris did nearly nothing. He will likely play an important role for the league’s worst team for the rest of the season.
Al Horford
Nov 30, 2016; Boston, MA, USA; Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (34) takes a shot while defended by Boston Celtics forward / center Al Horford (42) during the first quarter at TD Garden. Mandatory Credit: Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY Sports
9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 steals, 2 blocks in 32 minutes in a 121-114 loss vs Pistons
Horford’s lack of rebounding couldn’t have costed his team the game, right? Even though the Celtics were out-rebounded 52-33, it couldn’t have been the 113 Million Dollar Man’s fault.
Jeff Teague
Nov 30, 2016; Portland, OR, USA; Indiana Pacers guard Jeff Teague (44) moves to the basket against Portland Trail Blazers forward Ed Davis (17) during the second quarter at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. Mandatory Credit: Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports
25 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 0 steals, 1 block in 20 minutes in a 131-109 loss @ Portland
The Pacers were blown out, but not because of Teague’s offense. His 8 assists, to go with only two turnovers was nice, along with shooting 10-12 from the free throw line.
Lou Williams
Nov 20, 2016; Los Angeles, CA, USA; Los Angeles Lakers guard Louis Williams (23) is fouled by Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis (5) in the second half of the game at Staples Center. Bulls won 118-110. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in 28 minutes in a 96-90 win @ Bulls
Williams’ supreme talents have not recently been wasted by an up-and-coming Lakers team. This is extremely uplifting, as he is quite possibly the greatest sixth man to ever live and his greatness should never be wasted.
