Speaking of runs, SFs just went crazy.

I think I am the only team with 5 players right now.
Almost 500 3s, 35.3% ORB / 114.8% DRB / 150.1% CRB / 81.7% assist if I keep th3 5 as my starters.
Sounds like your trade strategies are working like a charm. Can you list those 5 players, I don't see where anybody is keeping track of rosters in either thread. How about just copy and paste your roster here with their advanced ratings?



Brad was listing rosters on page one of this thread, but he hasn't updated them lately.
Been traveling, but I’ll get it updated within a few hours.

His efg isn’t somewhat low it’s terrible for a player with a pretty high usage. You were doing well up until them. I think Haywood is decent at a couple things up 66 defense at 49efg is hard to make up.

What is CRB%?
oRB% + dRB% = cRB%
Thanks. That was my thinking but just wanted to make sure. I usually see it expressed at TRB%

I think most people want at least 55% eFG for a primary scorer. Also, he won’t be getting to the free throw line 8.4 times per game. 66 D is average at best for this league. 5.4 assist% is poor.

If you’re happy with him…..great! It’s good to be happy.

His TSP is .546 because of the free throws. A lot of those high eFG guys in the league are bad FT shooters. Haywood is certainly much better than whichever year of Bill Russell is gonna get used this season. Low eFG and low FT% for Russell. He'll be a better defender than Haywood, but not really that much better a rebounder. Haywood is 11.1% and 26.4%. Russell will be like 12% and maybe 31%, but an eFG of like 43% and a FT% of like 55%. And he'll be over $9M.

You could be right, he may have dominated that 1970s league because there were no modern guys with real high eFGs. But I'll take him and see. He played mostly C that season, but will be a PF for me. Durant will play the 2, where he is 99% in this season I have.

For a guy who is a top 20 player all time, nobody is very interested in Kobe in these leagues. His best eFG's are barely at 50, and his usage is always huge. I guess the low eFG with high usage scares guys away, despite great defense and some other pretty good numbers.

Savoy I think most people would rather have a player with 46 efg and 14% usage like Russell over Haywood who has 25% usg for 49 efg. High fts and ft% is very useful but most players never get close to there usual ft numbers especially once’s from the 60s/70s. The rebounding is good and the defense is mediocre.

I used him twice in the ODL(47mil)
Made the playoffs one time for sure, can't remember if I did a second time.
Here in the 52mil.. just so many more options of guys that have usage above 22.1(4 points, building towards 10 on the floor at all times) and efg above 54

The modern game with all the threes has ruined most old timers from being effective in these kind of leagues. Nobody even wants Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, etc. The instructions say that old timers get their shooting percentages normalized for the modern game, but I guess that's not true. A player shooting 48% in the early 60s was way above league average, but here he stinks.

I'd like to see leagues here have an option whether or not to even have 3 pointers. Especially the Decade League for the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Would change the whole thinking on many of the players that are coveted if we ran THIS league with no 3 pointers. Nobody would even want some of these players if there were no 3 pointers, and Curry would still be a very good player, but nowhere near what he is with 3 pointers legal. Without 3 pointers Curry would be less valuable than most of the top PGs of the 60s.

The league played for 30 yesrs with no 3 pointers. That should be an option for Private leagues at least.
