love this! do it even if rift wants to do evals? the more the merrier!

I probably will, I just didn't want to step on any toes OR discourage rift from writing evals if he wanted to.

Who would have thought bill russell was third best player in the draft, he was edged out by the second best player, Deandre Jordan.

Keep in mind the scores factor in minutes played too. Per minute wise Russell has only the 15th highest score among big men (PFs and Cs). Also, when I look at the scores I don't like to compare players to other players regardless of position, I compare them to other players who will play their position. So For example, Lebron's per minute score (Dork score) is 23.07, while Russell is 23.57. Does that mean draft Russell over Lebron? Of course not. I prefer to compare players to others who will play their position in the Sim. As I mentioned Russell is 15th among big men, but Lebron? He is number 1 among guards in the sim (PG/SG). He is has +2.14 points over the next guard (which is Luka per minute btw).

Here what I think of ARC

Looking back Haliburton & Jrue could have been my backcourt with DRob
That would have been sweet! Oh well went with 75-76 Dr. J SF
51.6 efg% @ 29U% at bit too low. but solid everywhere else 100 D.
25-26 Jamal Murray adv% have some Steph vibes but fall short w/ 43D & 48.3 FG%
his 563 3FGA is curryesk TO% is very low & 57.3 efg% is good w/ 28U%. Plus
I can play him at 1 or 2 w/ Tyreke.
17-18 Tyreke Evans with back up both Murray at 1 or 2 and will also sub in
for Dr. J at 3 when needed. Good versatilty but 52.3 efg% is below average in this
league. 28 U% matches both DrJ & Jamal.
23-24 Caruso & 93-94 McMillan will fill out backcourt. both lo U% & 90D+ will
help cover Jamal weakness. Bogut & Hartensein tandem Robinson. lo U% w/ 60+ efg%
and good creb with both. Feeling good about front court.
Robinson Caruso should be in playoff race. 25-26 Murray is a question mark and
we'll see how he shares the ball with The Good Doctor. Like I said a Holiday/Haliburton backcourt
was there for the taking in this draft and I missed them and maybe any chance for a chip.
"It's So Easy To Slip"
GL and so many well built teams!

This is great. Sorry, but I just don't have time to do evals.

Reminder of what these scores DON'T factor:

• If your team meets the minimum usage points and has optimal cumulative usage

• If your team has the minimum amount of assist% as a team on the floor at a time not to be penalized

• Blocks. This is mainly for 2 reasons. 1. I have determined how much weight to give it. And. 2. Even if I do add it to the formula it won’t have much weight. I have noticed that Def rating matters much more to lowering an opponent's FG% than Blk%, and a blocked shot does not automatically mean a changed possession, unlike a steal or a rebound.
  
  Also, these scores aren't perfect, I am sure I have different factors that could be weighed differently to make this formula more accurately measure a teams likelihood of success but I think they do a decent job. If your total Dork score is high and you don't have usage or assist% issues, then your team is likely to be good.
