How much is the individual possession penalty? IMO, if it's just a little, I'd take the superior eFG%.

Cumulative Usage would be between 95-100 so just below the 100 mark

In lower cap leagues, I tend to build teams with 97-98% usage. I can't say for sure, but i dont think you see a dip in efg% until 95% or lower. However, anything less than 100% will increase TOs. That's what I've seen with my own teams in the $47M anti-statefarm leagues.

I've seen teams be very successful w high efg and just in the high 90s but also probably still sitting above the 10pt floor

I don't even consider the usage point metric anymore; it's virtually impossible to build a 100% usage team, and not hit the usage point floor.

Kind of. But not necessarily. I'd say I'm the exact opposite. I just make sure i have 10 usage points on the floor with every 5 man combination possible. And then go back and make sure the total is above 95%. (Basically)

Player	Position	Usage%	eFG%	3PM	OReb%	DReb%	Ast%	Tov%	Def	MPG

06-07 Shawn Marion	SF	19.5	56.1	80	6.6	21.1	5.2	8.8	89	37
12-13 Larry Sanders	PF	17.0	50.6	0	11.3	24.2	5.4	11.6	92	24
71-72 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	C	29.1	57.6	7	12.2	21.9	10.7	11.8	73	44
21-22 Jarred Vanderbilt	SG	10.9	59.0	2	11.2	22.3	5.8	14.8	64	23
15-16 Marvin Williams	SF/PF/SG	16.8	55.4	152	5.6	17.3	6.2	7.1	73	29

Well I was able to build exactly what I was going for. My Ast% is low but I feel like it is the lowest priority for me everytime I draft.
My rebounding is about average is maybe below average for this league BUT I am going to have a big rebounding advantage at the 2 spot.
My defense is good but not GREAT.
This team really shines with efficiency however. Super high efg with low TOs, which lately, is how I like to build my team.
Overall this was a low stress team to build and I think I have a shot to at least make the playoffs.... or at least I did until I said I did.

kind of hoping Christie would drop to me but there are other fish in the sea

a fun real-world anecdote: a conversation between 2 of Larry Bird's teammates - ex Toronto Blue Jay to former Minnesota Golden Gopher, "hey pass the ball, I'm open" Golden Gopher says "hey I shoot 60% from right here, you'd have to shoot like 46% from out there to make this pass worthwhile"

Actually, it's 40%.
40% from 3 = 60% from 2.

I almost picked a PF/C thinking Christie would probably go undrafted... I'm glad I went ahead and took him. I really needed his D

Sam, individually I like the guys you drafted, but your team passing is going to make your shooting suffer. Who is your backup for Billups.

well Mr Ex-Blue Jay wasn't hitting at that rate and certainly not enough of it to make up the difference and we all know McHale was never that bright - it's OK Mr. Ex-Blue Jay would eventually get the better of him

His starting lineup has an assist% of 57.1... Literally plenty

You pay a penalty if your assist% is 57.1.
