No timestamps! Watch it all or nothing!!!

What an undertaking. I am looking forward to it.

Good stuff, Chewie. Just watched thru my team's bit, will check the rest out later. I have to somewhat agree with your take, and wish I could take back the Gasol pick. Marc will probably get the least play, (1 backup season), out of my whole roster. Biyombo's also got 1 spot set, still have an opening for Gasol or Bismack.... Not thinking 4-5 PO teams, but 3 teams and 1 cheeky championship is in play in my mind. Thanks for putting in the time and effort. GL, all.

Great stuff, Chewy! Thanks for making this.

My builds are pretty much:

PG:
Harden/Westbrook x5
SG:
Vince/(Westbrook/Crash) x3
Crash/(Westbrook/Vince) x2
SF:
Horace x5 with various backups
PF:
A big mashup of Claxton’s best season, Kessler’s only season, Favors’ 2 best seasons, Daugherty’s 2 best seasons, KOQ’s best season and Mason’s best season
C:
Tyson x5 with various backups

I am about half way through the first video and I want to reserve my commentary until I am all the way through, but it is really fun and refreshing to get such intelligent insight from a fresh point of view.

really nice job, Chewy! Really cool hearing you talking about this stuff. We share a lot of the same philosophies, and where we differ, as Rob said, it's always good to get a fresh perspective.

I actually did what you were talking about with Zach LaVine & Jason Kidd last season for the very reasons you said. Won't be able to do it as much this season because TMAC is playing a ton of minutes.

My teams are done; I'm trying one more last second build before putting them in this evening. I'm going to end up using 4 Worm SF seasons or possibly 5 depending on how this thing turns out. I drafted a ton of SF/PF/C eligible dudes to make the defense work out - the rebounding is pretty elite - so starting Chuck at PF where he has 100% efficiency and is a large chunk of the offense makes sense.

My initial readout that I posted however long ago was flawed: I didnt' realize I had used Gafford's 901 minute season twice. That was before round 12, so no big deal, but that was part of the reason I was crushed when Rob took Eubanks, as he would have slid in PERFECTLY there. McDyess was the backup to that, and someone else the backup to them who also got drafted but I can't recall at this moment. So I just grabbed more center minutes. Jesus, Oliver Miller turns the ball over a ton.

These teams are way dirtier than I typically build for Savage: Probably the most turnovers (and definitely the most fouls) that I've drafted in a long, long time. But the boards are DELICIOUS.

Last night I did the obvious and just watched my section. Today I started from the beginning, and I just wanted to say: fantastic work. Beautiful spreadsheet. Thanks for making this.

I hope I don’t win anytime soon, because you guys have raised the bar for the eval standard and it’s gonna be a lot of work to keep up

(Now let’s get those last 3 teams in and kick this thing off)

Please trade Harden soon Daryl.

I always enjoy the Savage sentence.

The last couple of these turned out poorly for DH. LOL

I'll get my teams in by tonight. Been on a family vacation and just got home...

Good job chewy!

Great stuff chewy! Trying to listen to bits and pieces when I can. What’s the deal with player percentages being at 99.9 or 99.4 etc. decimals don’t come up when you search position effectiveness.

Used to be available but hasn't been updated in a while which is why you don't see it on the new seasons.

Finished the whole thing, nice work my man. Our general logic for populating the best seasons seems to work pretty similarly, lots of overlap although yours seems to weight with a heavier preference towards defense and lower fouls while mine weighs heavier towards a preference of high positional flexibility, free throws made, block and steal rates.

Really enjoyed seeing your process, I can definitely tell you are a data analyst by trade.

Interesting. If I sort 98.5% pg will it filter out some 98% PGs? Or does it no longer keep this data and all 98% PGs will get taken out. I’ve noticed some players that show 100% aren’t that on defense.

I believe it does filter using the decimal place.
