LeBron way ahead of everyone.
Taj Gibson 2nd? Didn't see or know.
Duncan 3.
Ariza 4? Didnt know that either.
Leonard 6th.
Westbrook 11th. This check was prompted by hearing someone say Westbrook had a historic or near historic playoffs.

Re: 2014 playoff performances according to ws/48
The Playoff Summaries thread never had a final recap. If it had, it would look something like:These are players with at least 1.00 eWins total. From 1st round eliminees, only Dwight and Millsap are represented.
Only 16 others were even half as good as Westbrook.

According to ew/g, due to its implicit weighting of usage and the rest.
Re: 2014 playoff performances according to ws/48
eWins values production relative to opponents'.
From that link to 85 players who averaged 24 mpg, we get curious comparisons between WS and eWins.
Most overrated by WS/48, relative to eWins:The underrated-by-WS (on the right) group has much greater magnitude of difference. The whole group of 85 avg -.012, and a total deficit of -4.92 WS.
Apparently less credit is going to top players, and more to bench players.
(eWins gives credit for % of minutes vs opposing starters.)

Re: 2014 playoff performances according to ws/48
Comparing the left and right sides of your first table in last post, I am pretty sure the right side has a higher average usage rate than the left. The left side might also have more guys with above average individual defensive contributions whereas at some of the ones on the right might over-benefit from being the impact of teammates on the overall opponent scoring level.
