19-20 Ingles as a PF, sure. 33Def, though? The guy's not a stopper, but he's always been at least average. By WiS metrics he's always below-average. Not as bad as the Russell rating discrepancies, but disappointing.
It is specifically because he is listed as a PF. They appear to use adjust the weight of certain metrics in their defensive calculations by position.

Yeah, that does make sense for this season. But I was referring to his whole career. He hits 50 once in the WiS system, feels like he should be 10-15% higher in every year. So, 50-55Def for most seasons. With him as a PF this season, 45 seems about right. Not a big deal, though. Not like he's one of the best defenders in league history, getting mostly 70s...

It's true. From what I've seen, Ingles is an above average defender who can lock people down. The low defensive ratings don't really seem to mesh with the reality

Joe is a significantly better defender than John Collins IRL

In other news, I didn't expect this, but 19-20 Favors is going to start. ~1400ish minutes but it's his best rebounding and shooting season.

ben is still only 100% at pg...what a joke

Probably going to fix it when the All-D teams come out again

I needed the 19-20 players just for the minutes! otherwise I'd have 3 players with only 4 seasons. Anybody have more than four 19-20 players?

3rd round pick Nikola Jokic gives me 5th season
5th round pick Jimmy Butler a top 5 season
8th round pick Kyle Anderson gives me 5th season
9th round pick Larry Nance Jr. gives me 5th season

I'd like to stop bickering. Here's what I'm going to need:

1. No more GIFs in my general direction. They're disrespectful and you know it.
2. Criticize the pick, not the person making the pick.
3. Ben should apologize (to everyone) for being insensitive during a pandemic, but I'm not counting on it.
4. If you come at me, I've been a good sport about it for years. I will fire back. Clearly, a few of you don't have any issues with coming at me, so I long as I don't fire back at you. Maybe it will make you think twice. If I express an opinion and you mock it, I will come back at you. Fair?
5. Please don't talk about my team. I just want to draft and play. Let me make my own choices, and don't harp on whatever explanations I give to other people. Don't validate or invalidate my explanations; they were asked of me, and they were harmless, unlike pick times during a pandemic.
6. Let's just all draft and have a good time, eh? That's what I've always wanted, so long as the above can be followed to some extent
1.

2. That's what happens. You take the criticism personally. I don't like the Westbrook pick. I said as much. What I didn't say was, "There goes bds with another insane pick! That guy never wins anything and this is why! What a loser!!"

3. You're an absolute idiot who is commenting on something without all of the information. Like, for real, get a ******* clue.

4. Like, that's always been fair. I don't know why you thought it wasn't. I'm not afraid of your firing back. Nobody is. You don't have a lot of ground to stand on.

5.

People are going to talk about players, teams, and draft decisions in a draft league. Grow some thicker skin or stay out of the commentary thread. Also, you imbecile, if you continue to bring your team up - in a commentary thread, mind you - PEOPLE WILL RESPOND AND TALK TO YOU. You seriously have to be the dumbest mother ****** in the history of this website.

6. That's what we do. You are the one that comes in butthurt and crying, taking things personally that aren't personal. This post? Yeah, it's been personal. It's personal because you keep wanting to make everything personal, so let's get personal.


Also, you don't get to make the rules. The simplest thing to do is to stay out of the commentary thread, and if that fails, stay out of draft leagues.

I don't know if I've ever seen a situation summed up so well.
