Alright guys the great $20 goon league is up

https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/153685/invitation?key=035fd45fab5934e1&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=86057619535a39ec

Settings are 12 teams H2H 9 cat with FG%, 3P%, FT%, Points, Assists, Rebounds, Steals, Blocks, and Turnovers. I kinda want to do a 10th cat for double doubles but I'll leave that up to a vote.

Draft is set for Tuesday, October 17th at 9:30 pm EDT. That can also be up to a vote as we get more people in.

Looks like the questions of 3pt% for 3pt made as a scoring category came up. I'd prefer 3pt made. I'm also wondering if we should change the season to be 21 weeks instead of 23 weeks. I feel like the playoffs always become a total random crapshoot with the number of players that get shutdown the last 2 weeks.

Earliest I can do is weeks 21 through 23 as the playoffs with 8 teams in, I can change that to 6 if we want to reward byes.

I initially had it to 3 points made then changed it to percent to keep certain guys from being auto wins for that category but ill change it back for now.

Happy I got Lebron with that tenth pick now :)

I was really torn between Lebron and Harden at 5 and leaned towards Harden because he'll be there later in the season while Lebron will be getting random rest.

Our first round was kind of weird. Still can't believe the Giannas - KAT one/two combo. They'll both be monsters, but I kinda think you need a 3 point shooter or a defensive stalwart superstar in 9 cat leagues. Giannas will be fine even though he doesn't shoot 3's but KAT doesn't shoot enough 3's or get enough assists/defensive stats to make up for a Lebron/Durant/Harden production

DeimosRising posted:

He's going to play more minutes cause he's gonna play more games. There will be weeks where Durant and Lebron are sitting or half assing as their teams cruise to a top 2 seed and Towns is playing 35 minutes in 3 different games. Tanking a week cause old men on good teams get rest days and rest minutes can be a big deal. Reliability is a major factor

I can see the argument, plus KAT might suddenly become a lot better at getting those steals and blocks that separate big men into the elite category. He's still incredibly raw and has so much more room to grow even though he's already a 25/10 guy in the NBA as a center. I still would have went Harden or Westbrook at 2 if you're worried about people getting benched though.

Either way it's not that egregious. The original issue was that Movie Majick got Lebron with the 10th pick which definitely shouldn't have happened. I love Jokic and Davis but Lebron's much more valuable and reliable than both of them in 9 cat. Same could be said about Chris Paul now that he's getting a bit on the old side. Steph/Harden/Westbrook are all preference if you want more assists than what Lebron can bring or a guaranteed win in the 3pt made category. Durant/Giannis/Lebron just get so many points, assists, rebounds, 3's, blocks, and steals that they're like guaranteed playoff appearance guys if you take them.

Also this was a super stacked draft this year and any one of Cp3, Cousins, Davis, Leonard, Jokic, Kyrie, John Wall, or even fringe guys like Butler, Rudy, Whiteside, Kemba, Conley, or Paul George coulda snuck into the first round. It feels like every superstar can hit 3's and get steals now, even the centers.

i correctly picked the Greek Freak first so don't look at me

drat you for being smart. I really thought our draft woulda been like Westbrook - Lebron - Harden - Durant - Curry/Cousins - and then me getting Giannis. I had my entire draft planned around landing Giannis/Embiid and then nothing but 3's.

I'm still ok with Harden over Lebron since I get more reliable 3's, assists, and playing time, plus he gets steals and blocks, but drat I'd probably change my pick right now if I could.

Jam the ever living gently caress out of that depending on how many categories you have and who's on your bench.

Yeah you're exactly right. I mean obviously you want a guy who can do everything and fill every category but that trade only works out if Lonzo and Tyreke are taking spots from guys who would be fringe roster trash like what's going on in our league.

Speaking of which I'm really conflicted about that trade offer. Are you dead set on Drummond?

I think hold off. Lonzo and Tyreke are a wash vs a random smattering of Ingram, Tatum, and Mitchell. Like Lonzo's super underrated in 9 cat because of all the steals, blocks, and high assists and rebounds, but you're in a points league and a small one at that. Your teams already absolutely stacked and should just hold strong because I dunno how you get better besides doing some menial, non super-star trades.

Lonzo kills you in a 9cat because he makes you lose fg% and hurts your FTs. I figure in a points league (why do these exist, they're poo poo by comparison) Lonzo might actually be better?

I hate trying to win FG% and FT% because it really is a crapshoot. Same with turnovers, especially if you get a bunch of high volume guys that fill other stat categories. But you're right, Lonzo might actually be better in points league than 9 cat because of the downsides. I just love guys who can fill steals and blocks alongside assists and rebounds. Plus Lonzos averaging a block a game so far.
