I am calling relative talent how much of each player's skill manifests itself as the competition's talent level increases. Scale is 1 to 10 w 10 being the best:
 
Scoop - 10 - he goes good or bad as the case may be be & it seems his performance is irrespective of who he plays against. He can be great against anybody or vice versa. If anything, he seems to play better against better opponents pretty often.
 
Kris - 9 - if only he could play this well all the time against better teams all the time, but even though he doesn't necessarily take over big games consistantly he usually has solid numbers against all comers
 
Fab - 10 - he seems to be raising his game as the competition stiffens.
 
Brandon - 5 - He should be better than he is against all comers IMHO. Only rarely does he seem to really rise in big games
 
Dion - 4 - He didn't raise his game when he should have been the man when Melo was out & he only played so so yesterday. He should be somewhere between 8 & 10 in this category. I want to see him get there.
 
CJ - 7 - hard to really evaluate him in this respect since he is mostly playing as an under-sized PF. He doesn't get  intimidated, but you can't coach lack of size. However, he had great opportunities yesterday with wide open J's & in that particular game it did not happen for him.
 
James - 2 - I do not understand why it seems like he can't make a shot when it matters.
 
BMK - 3 - his lack of strength really holds him back against better opponents.
 
MCW & Rak - NA - They don't really seem to be in the rotation yet against better foes. I think MCW should be getting at least some first half minutes against anybody & I think Rak should be getting more of the backup minutes at the 5 spot as he seems to board much better than BMK.
