Hi guys,
I waited to post this to ensure the top guys were all off the board and the draft was well under way. I am not bitter I didn't get an "elite" PG - quite happy with my teams start!
I think we need to look at our stat format.
The use of a/to really sways this league to be PG heavy / unbalanced.
7 of first 11, PG - 64% of picks.
12 of first 33, PG - 36% of picks.
There are 5 positions on the floor and our league heavily favours one of them.
I understand folks don't like negative stats, like TO. I don't either.
Using BasketballMonster projections, these are the first round values using some different stat formats (PG focus):
1) No A/TO: 5 PG rd 1, 6 thru rd 2, 7 thru the top 33 picks (just shy of 20% - and 5 positions on the floor). A guy like Nash becomes the 40th ranked player - which is much more in line with reality than is 10th.
2) Keep A/TO, add Total Rebs: 5 PG rd 1, 7 thru rd 2, 10 thru the first 33 picks.
3) Keep A/TO, add Steals+Blocks: 6 PG rd 1, 9 thru 22 picks, 9 thru first 33 picks.
4) Keep A/TO, add Tot Rebs and Steals + Blocks: 4 PG rd 1, 6 thru 22 picks, 8 thru 33 picks.
Options 3 and 4 don't seem quite right to me. Bogut becomes a 1st round pick.
Option 2 isn't bad but wing men get the shaft (most).
Option 1 seems best, to me.
Here are the top 33 guys, in that format:
James, Lebron
Howard, Dwight
Durant, Kevin
Love, Kevin
Wade, Dwyane
Curry, Stephen
Rose, Derrick
Paul, Chris
Gasol, Pau
Stoudemire, Amare
Williams, Deron
Westbrook, Russell
Anthony, Carmelo
Nowitzki, Dirk
Aldridge, LaMarcus
Randolph, Zach
Lee, David
Bynum, Andrew
Bogut, Andrew
Jefferson, Al
Smith, Josh
Noah, Joakim
Horford, Al
Griffin, Blake
Ellis, Monta
Martin, Kevin
Bryant, Kobe
Bosh, Chris
Wall, John
Granger, Danny
Lopez, Brook
Gay, Rudy
Monroe, Greg
I'd like to open the discussion. So many PGs so early really seems like a flaw in our league. Get em and hoard em or risk losing. Hardly seems to take a lot of brain power and limits strategy IMO.
