3. 16-17 players are here!
After a long wait, the 16-17 players have been released!!! This is the craziest single season I think I have ever seen in the database, but how will that translate to the ODL? Only one goes in the first round, but I'm guessing a few go in the 2nd. It's going to be hard to judge where some of these guys should go in their initial drafts.
I am considering the 16/17 version of Kawhi. Less rebounding, slightly lower shooting, similar Fs and TOs. Can defend PGs, 2 more points of usage, a tough more minutes, better assists.
I've drafted 2 16-17 players thus far... I will be using 16-17 Whiteside.. I agree with Benhoidal that the other 2 are better players- but 16-17 plays 31 mins/game at a decent salary... 16-17 is the best value for this league, imo.... I'm also using 16-17 Mike Conley... Only plays 28 mins/game- which is why he's a 4th rounder and not selected earlier... He will be drafted in the 4th or 5th in every ODL from here foward... 25 ast%, 26 usage%, 54+ efg% - 40+ 3pt% & 40+% of his shots are from 3, 61D, with low TOs & fouls. He's a slightly worse version of Terry Porter with more usage.... Or similar to Billups but with worse D, but better efg... He and 16-17 Kyle Lowry are very similar players and should be very close to each other on owners draft boards....
