Ben- love the in-depth analysis and comparisons to previous drafts. Really enjoy reading these and appreciate the effort.

Thanks Sly, love doing these but they do take some time. Done through round two, will finish through round 4 tomorrow.

Our commish can't even update PG1 in the time it takes you to bust out these awesome Evals.

"Garnett does everything. Unfortunately doing everything in this case includes missing a ton of shots."

Psh - you must have me confused with someone whose go-to Garnett season isn't 05-06. I think 52.9% efg and 81% ft is just fine for this cap.

great job behhoidal with the evals!  Always makes the league more interesting. 

I give Ben a pat on the back for these. Keep them up! Love it.

Which "Kyle"  14-15 season are you most looking forward to drafting next year?

the one with 71 efg? sadly his usage is only going to be in the 1 point tier

I'm interested to see how benhoidal fills out that crazy high salary team he's working on. Not sure if he's using 97-98 Duncan or 06-07, but he's in a pretty substantial salary crunch either way. Add in a pretty expensive low usage guy like Barry, and you've got some problems. He still needs plenty more usage, backcourt defense, etc. - might be some ugly bums filling out the rest of that roster.

My team will at all times be between 125 - 145 AST%.

... I'll start the ODL 52nd season thread tonight, since I'll most likely have the 1st pick...

Actually if I can nab my two players in the 6th that I want, I will have good minutes, plenty of usage and decent backcourt defense without any scrubs! Although a lot is riding on my two players being available.

well, ended up with: not great, but acceptable def, pretty good efg%, lots of 3's and dimes and boards.don't foul too much and t.o's are about average. looks and feels like a playoff team to me, but what do i know. game on! 17,432 mins  2.5m left

Gonna have okafor coming off the bench with his 19% usage. with oakley and davis starting, team usage is 109%. don't really like going over the 110% mark too often. we'll see how that plays out.

Ben: Anthony Davis at 41 is not a reach and by no means is he a marginal rebounder. There is only one other player season in the entire database who is at least 99% at SF with as many minutes, efg% orb% and drb%: 91-92 Dennis Rodman.

Not to mention his low to% combined with his 25usg% at 52Efg%. I think he is a steal at 41.

My favorite thing about him is the low to%. Combine that with his rebounding at SF and he's a big plus on possessions.
