as far as benefits from overusage... I did an experiment with Shaq (6 points, 30ish usage), Mailman (6 points, 30ish usage) & Lebron (8 points, 34% usage).

Turnovers didn't go down... they were just as high as ever.  The difference was that none of them took as many fgas as they did IRL (and no where close to FTAs)... so I over payed for increased turnovers.  Makes zero sense, eh?

(fg% was a wash, by the way.  Saw no bumps there, either)

Ha yeah, that does make zero sense but doesn't surprise me too much. I think the way turnovers are calculated is just kinda...broken. Draft a low to team and run uptempo, the turnovers will just rise into the 18-20 range eventually. Not sure the 2 turnover per game difference is worth drafting low-to players (although katernberg's team turned it over 23 times per game with Durant/Stockton/Maxwell last season, so probably shouldn't be ignored totally).

I like those last three picks alot, felonious. Iguodala is a great PG for that squad. Pip/Iguodala will hide Redd's def too.

regardless of usage tiers low TO guys might not take enough shots individually to avoid aggregate individual penalties game by game especially given the fact that the sim can easily distribute 30 attempts to Donyell Marshall and 12 to Lebron and there's nothing you can do about that?

thanks - It seems I picked the right draft for the 'who needs a PG?' philosophy/approach

so, will my team even win 30 games?

"(although katernberg's team turned it over 23 times per game with Durant/Stockton/Maxwell last season, so probably shouldn't be ignored totally)"

oh sh!t...didnt even realize he had the stockton/durant combo last season....5 topg for durant?....sure hope i dont see a repeat of that....12-13 does have lower top48 at least...not sure if the tov% is better though

Logain gets an Incomplete again with no 4th or 5th round picks.

Close to 3/4 of your team should be done thru this round. Not looking good for quite a few of you and others have shot up the board. No surprise who is at #1 LOL. Only question is who is going to be the runner up. It's pretty close right now for 2nd. One thing is for certain, LTB has by far the worst team in the league.

lol - aside from putting your own team first (although I suppose it's a good thing to think your own team is the best) and a team with Allen Iverson in 3rd, I don't think the top of the rankings are all that bad.
LOL

Best comment on this thread. You are right about all of them, except your team and an Iverson team. LOL

Still don't believe me...

98 you have 4 guards, what's your secret?
5/15/2013 8:19 AM
First of all, 98, thanks for the gift of low expectations.  One of the elixirs of life.  And I'm flattered to be one of your new crushes on these boards.

My vision for my team fragmented when Shawn Kemp turned into Carlos Boozer.  My squad will be strong on the boards, have decent 3s and efg% and take reasonably good care of the ball, but interior defense is woeful for this league and I'm light on FTAs.  But I've still got money to spend.  The 12-13 crop of player seasons is having an interesting effect on this draft and I'm very curious to see which long-time mainstays go undrafted.
