Nobody really stands out.  This is a team effort with random guys from the bench coming through vs different teams

Biggest disappointment so far has been Tyler Zeller.   Maybe Evan Turner

How is Turner, who has been in 5 of the Celtics' 6 best lineups, possibly a disappointment? Turner's exceeded my expectations this year.

I agree with that. He's playing his role well, his defense is WAY underrated and while his counting stats may not be as good as they were at the end of last season, I think overall he's been better than I expected. It sure seems like we wouldn't want to move him right now unless we were getting another play-maker with ISO ability in return. He can make some really dumb plays (though by my un-exact eye test he's making less of those than last year) and he should be fined 10,000$ every time he shoots a 3 but other than that he's been playing within his means to good effect.

Most surprising to me is that putting him on the floor with IT has actually worked out pretty well. I thought that was gonna be a disaster.
