That division draft was rough. There seemed to be a lot of different combinations that I wasn't used to seeing. GL guys. I do think that after more owners see the value of Karl Anthony-Towns he will start being drafted higher than the 5th round. If it doesn't work out and sly's team crushes its my fault for not drafting Jamaal Tinsley in the 5th round and then picking my starting PF in the 6th round.

I really didn't quite know what to think of jhsukow's team. Dumars and Buse are really good defensive players but low on assists and in rebounding. But they don't turn the ball over or foul much. That's the highest EFG% that I think that I have ever seen with Wilt, Amare and McHale up front.

The Dumars I'm using is definitely short on ast, but the Buse is 26.1. I'm trying to be mindful of fouls and TO's (more so)

Does anyone have any thoughts about my team?
I think if Vince Carter is on the court at all with Shaq that is bad news. He will more than likely make the usage to high whenever he is on the court and he will be taking valuable shots away from Shaq. I think you will struggle to rebound against some teams, but you have a decent ast% without a legitimate ball distributor. That said what do I know XD
My plan is not to have VC on the court much at all with Shaq. At the most 7 minutes per game.

I get the "suck" bit that C. is doing, so I don't mean to sound defensive, but I do have some thoughts on my team and how it ended up.

-We will get beat on the boards, but I'm hoping to win the TO battle. If opposing teams grab four more rebounds than my guys, but we turn the ball over 6x's less, that's a "+".
-Did I "overpay" for McHale? Sure. Would I do that trade again? Every time.
-Ersan Ilyasova is an A- Donyell Marshall...(just kidding)

I have enough usage points on the court at all times. So I am confused by the evaluation. Porter = 2, Korver = 1, Ibaka = 2, Davis = 6, Jabbar = 6

106.6 cumulative starters.
102.6 with Ward in and Porter out.

no backup has significant differences in usage points or usage.

34.9 OReb%
82.5 DReb%
117.4 combined.

there are two penalty floors - one for team penalty which is the 10 points thing but the other penalty floor is the individual penalty which kicks in when your individual players start taking more shots than they did IRL - divide your attempts drafted by your minutes drafted - that's your base attempts per minute - when you multiply that number by 5 players by 48 minutes do you get somewhere near the 95-100+ attempts your team will likely put up in a game?

also in this league I like board %s of 40+/90+ (my team is 38/98 on the boards but also my team is only good for about 90 attempts per game so we're in the same boat on that front)

overall my team will has 7626 real life attempts fyi. I had money to spare, nothing was wasted and all minutes fill, no overages on guys.

money to spare/minutes to spare is not a good thing

positions to fill, money left to use.

90.22 is the number btw.
2845 fta's

90 is slightly less than what you'll be putting up in uptempo mode so "maybe not enough attempts to escape the individual penalty" is probably correct - don't feel too bad, I'm in the same boat, just means slightly increased likelihood to turn it over and a slight nerf on FG% - overall maybe not that significant
8/24/2016 11:18 AM
I never play uptempo, but I see what you're saying.

Can I get the suckage factor on this? I'm thinking the poor efg% is going to boost the suck rating, but the rebounds, asts, decent d will offset the suck. Too much usage though will tack some suck back on.
