I like my league #2 team a lot, but I don’t like the owners that team shares a division with.

(18-19 Harden + 18-19 Gobert, although all of my teams are pretty balanced because I didn’t burn my best Donyell or Mourning or Pressey on that squad)

Which league is the one everyone is claiming is the stacked one?

I would say league 3 looks pretty stacked. Really wanted to switch my Omaha team over to there after I saw the lineups.

I put what I thought is my best team in world 3

I polled 23 co-workers and told them to put the numbers 1-5 in random order, given that the goal was to be different than everyone else. Team 3 had by far the lowest number of votes for first in sequence. Thought I’d put my best team there and clean up. Guess my co-workers don’t play WIS.

But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put your strongest team into league 3 or league 1? Now, a clever man would put his strongest team into league 3, because he would know that only a great fool would put his strongest team in league 1. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not put my strongest team in league 1. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not put my strongest team in league 3.

But you are from Minnesota, as everyone knows, and Minnesota is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not put my strongest team in league 1. Now, where was I? Yes, Minnesota. And you must have suspected I would have known your location, so I can clearly not put my strongest team in league 3.

You've beaten me in theme leagues before, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put your strongest team in league 1, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose to put my strongest team in league 1. But, you've also bested ash, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put your strongest team as far from ash's strongest team as possible, so I can clearly not put my strongest team in league 3.

****.
Yes.

Inconceivable!

Come on over to the new predictions thread and make some!

No! This thread must reach 100 pages!!

Okay, everything is properly weighted. Well, almost... the efg% is conservative because I took an extra step to correct the problem that assumes 100% cumulative usage when it's almost never that. So the efg% should be about right, but on the conservative side... ie it will probably be slightly higher. Tov% will also be higher, but tov% is always higher anyway so.

This is also going with set lineups, which I probably won't strictly adhere to, as I did draft my teams with the intent of doing some playing around based on matchups/situations.

Anyway, without further adieu:

team 1: 79.4 def, 52.9% efg, 58.6% ast, 12.5% tov, 42.6% orb, 87.6% drb

team 2: 69.9 def, 55% efg, 62.3% ast, 13.5% tov, 38.5% orb, 83.4% drb

team 3: 66.9 def, 53.7% efg, 52.4% ast, 12.3% tov, 38.9% orb, 88.4% drb

team 4: 66.1 def, 55.7% efg, 59.2% ast, 13.8% tov, 42.5% orb, 83.4% drb

team 5: 71.6 def, 53% efg, 57.7% ast, 11.4% tov, 33% orb, 84.5% drb

I've bolded the highest of the five teams.

Any predictions about favorites in each league? 5 might be the weakest.

the team number does not correlate to the league it's in, btw... just the position I worked on them in. Team 1 is in league 3... I forget which team is in which other league.

pexetera making a strong case for best post of the thread

Good work - now you just need to do the other 23 owners' teams!
