    NOOOO. I was thinking Bosh would last until my next pick. Apparently he's big again.

    I think I am going to reach a bit...but he offers things that will compliment King James. I choose Kevin Martin.

    I think Big E is in Germany, so he's probably asleep. I'm heading out in a bit so I'll send my picks to dots and Eat it

    Fuuuuuuuuuck I had a list of 4-5 players I reasonably expected to be available when it came back to my pick and they are all gone now. -_-

    This draft is fairly chalk. Out of 29 picks compared to ESPNs default only one expected player wasn't picked: Rajon Rondo (26) and only one unexpected player was picked: Chris Bosh (34).

    It doesn't usually get all that interesting until the middle rounds; everybody has a fairly similar opinion of all the high end guys.

    The best are when its a draft like this, not online using a ESPN Draft Room or whatever, and some awesome guy just gets forgotten until the end of round 2 or 3

    It came down to Rondo or Bosh for me. I took a flier on Bosh because according to Yahoo's big board he ought to be center eligible. I probably should have gone with Rondo in hindsight.

    I don't know where he will end up, but I figure if he goes to the Warriors, Rockets or Nets, as rumored, he'll have plenty of playtime ...

    So I'll take Tyson Chandler

    And yes ... I live in Germany. East Coast US is like 6 hours behind me, West Coast is 9 hours. So anyone on the West Coast just cleared midnight, whereas I am already back at work on monday morning :).

    How is FT % determined in this league? Say I have a two-man team with a guy that goes 20/20 in a game, and then a dude that goes 1/2. Is my overall FT % 75%, or is it 21/22 for 95%?

  • Options
    TheBigEasyTheBigEasy Registered User regular
    As far as I remember, it is the latter .. so you should have 95%. I think all FT's of your team are totalled up. Could be wrong though ...

    But thinking some more about it. I am almost certain it is so ... this is Head-to-head, so all stats are totalled up and then weighed against your opponent that week.

  • Options

    I was just wondering because the format on the matchup pages only has room for FT %, not FTM/FTA.

    It makes absolute sense to do it as a total, I just wanted to make damn sure.

  • Options

    You're right, TBE, it's 95%. All %s are weighted by attempts.

    This draft is fairly chalk. Out of 29 picks compared to ESPNs default only one expected player wasn't picked: Rajon Rondo (26) and only one unexpected player was picked: Chris Bosh (34).

    ESPN default is either 8- or 9-cat, isn't it?

    Since we have the additional rebounding category, It should help Bosh's value.

    Plus some of the ESPN projections seem like voodoo.

    I'm going to blame last year's regression on him being too busy with the Twilight movies to focus on basketball. TELL ME WHAT I'M TALKIN 'BOUT DOC.

    Damn, I was counting on having a little more time to figure out my next pick. I have some ideas, just going to take a bit to narrow it down.

    I've been pretty quick with my selections, so give me a bit.

    I'm going to have to agree. Especially considering the vast potential of material out there for Nash

    Team Alligator Fuckhouse calls upon Brook Lopez to challenge Pau Gasol for the title of goofiest looking big dude in the league.

    You don't like that, Brook?

    Not exactly stating your case here, Mr. Lopez.

    And here's to hoping he either benefits from having DWill giving up some pretty assists all season long, or gets dealt to Orlando and becomes the only game in town.

    Very tough choice, it was between like five different similar dudes, all of them with questionable team or injury situations.

    The bench for that team should have DJ Mbenga on it at least twice.
