Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it.

Dude.

To lighten the mood in here. I do have a big money bracket pool I'm in with UNC, Arizona, Michigan State, and Xavier in my final four

I love responses to evaluations. If the evaluations are done correctly, you get the other owner off their game and cause them to reach for a need. Evaluations should be a skewed brutal assessment.

I always tried to be honest in mine and never intentionally mislead anyone. I do feel like sometimes the evaluator gives too much advice (just about any advice is too much), though. The parity of this league is likely high in part because of the detailed analysis and commentary that used to occur during and after the draft by several people.

And then there's just unintentional bad advice...

you are the king of too much advice!!! things have gotten so much more difficult since you decided to start all the sharing

I couldn't care less if you agree with me. I didn't invent the sim, but my grasp of its workings & mechanics is almost unrivaled. I have helped many owners understand many aspects of it, including the topic in question. I have as many championships (73) as teams you've played in (73).

But since you really, really want the attention:

The seasons I'd use for the trio he's drafted, I'd have 66.5% cumulative drb% with 22% orb%. I have plenty of ast%, so I can afford to get wings that don't necessarily pass as much, opening many guys that rebound more to me. There's no way those two guys (as well as the rotation guys I will draft) aren't giving me at least 10/30, so now we're talking 32%/96.5% minimum. That's not quite as high as I would typically aim for, but it's not far off, and it's certainly not below average, and it's certainly enough to win this league.

But I don't know who he's going to draft (he's apparently using a different Kidd than I would, so even more boards). He might end up with 41/114. He might go lower. I don't know who he's going to pick, much less the other 23 owners, so I'm not going to make some asinine projection saying that 2, 12 or 22 teams will out rebound him, and simply don't care who you think will or won't.

(although Ben will almost assuredly be near the top with the start he's had & knowing the way he builds teams. I feel comfortable making that prediction)

I'm taking 05-06 Kidd so it's 3/18 creb and 90d and f--- the 48 efg for just 2 pts of usage (as opposed to the 55% efg for 1 pt) - I'm already at 60%+ asg so that's taken care of, I have two-way 90 Ds on the wing and block and Serge is a 98 at 3 positions - I've got 10.5k minutes and 19.8m to spend, 14 pts of usage on board so just need to supplement at the backstop positions and could use some threes prolly - that would be my evaluation.... {but what do I know?}

(and P.S. DREB is currently 86% with 4 drafted and that's if I even start the Joker and dont just have him as a super sub and bring on even more boards and D ;})

I have no idea how you can assume any of that but you do you

How could I not? I know who’s left, I know who your bigs are, and I know your budget. Also, I have a good idea who’s using which seasons.

just.....chill.

I know there's no tone in texts and such but... there's no fire here, it's all chill, I just disagree with you --- be peace bro

I like where I’m at. I can still absorb a big salary and build a bench.

Ibaka was necessary, but now I’m worried about your scoring.

because 14 pts of usage with one more position to draft is not enough?

because you only have one player above 22 Usg%, you know Nets Kidd isn’t efficient, and we’re running out of guys that would still give you an edge in the passing department (and 70+ D). I believe you’re going to have to sacrifice.....unless a certain guy falls. Even then, I worry, because that guy’s usage isn’t so high.

I admit I didn’t expect this guy to fall so hard, and he would also give you an edge in rebounding, but.....if he’s not there, you have to prioritize.

Also, you’re light on 3’s either way

Jokic is actually a {23.5} 4 pt guy at efg 60% {and oh yeah, 20 as%!) - the more you know....

I haven't drafted about 78 minutes per game of wing play yet...?

It just gets better & better.

this cap is killing me. I'm not used to drafting for $47M. going to have to find some serious value out there soon. you guys had that eval right.

cut bait on usage and use partial seasons

my bad.

Ummm... everybody aim for 60% dreb and draft about 125% cumulative usage! defense doesn't matter!

(do you think it worked?)
