2017 and now 2018 Fantasy Basketball Discussion

Maystack · Post #41 » by **Maystack** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 9:40 am

I'm off to my most consistently good start since I started doing fantasy basketball. The only thing letting me down is FG%, though I think that's what I get for picking so many volume shooters. Wish Lillard would learn to hit some shots though.

Did a draft for my work league this last Thursday. 11-cat the extra two are free throw and field goals made.

I drafted 4th, and in hindsight maybe I should have taken Lebron, but with the two minute in between picks I was surprised that Durant wasn't taken top 3 and I hadn't considered that possibility as I felt top 3 would go Greek Freak, Harden, Durant, however Westbrook went 3rd.

Anyhow this is who I got and it's a H2H league with 10 people so I'm okay with not getting as many blocks.
PG. Kemba Walker
SG. Jaylen Brown
G. D'Angelo Russell
SF. Kevin Durant
PF. Jayson Tatum
F. Otto Porter
C. Serge Ibaka
Util. Steven Adams
Util. Gary Harris
Ben. Bradley Beal
Ben. DeMarre Carroll
Ben. Carmelo Anthony

Keep in mind this is H2H, so the only reason Melo is on the bench is just because he doesn't play today. I feel like I got the most fire power without even looking at anyone else's roster, while also shooting a decent clip for FG%. One guy did punt FT% as he took Drummond and DeAndre, and he should easily win every week in blocks versus whatever opponent (he also has Greek Freak and KP).

Good solid team but I think there's a lack of AST as well as the BLK you mentioned.

Lots of those mainstays provide very few assists - Tatum, Brown, Porter, Ibaka, Adams, Harris are all quite low. Even Kemba as your alpha PG doesn't typically have more than 7-8 a game.

I'd be trying to pry Rubio for Melo or Rubio for Harris + Jaylen, something like that.

Tfw you intentionally leave Dion Waiters on the bench in dynasty and you check the box score and he goes off for 33/5/4 with 3 steals

:evil:

Hey don't feel bad. I just came here to say that I accidentally left Towns, Rubio and Waiters on the bench and they went a combined 29-54 for 73 points, shot well from the line, had 19 boards, 8 3s, 11 assists, 8 steals and 3 blocks.

8 steals is huge too and that's something I desperately need in Premier.

Just an idiot. I usually set my lineup for like a week but I intentionally usually try to have all my worst players on the bench on the last day I set it, but somehow didn't do it.

Looking to sell some 3s for blocks/rebounds in Dynasty... for errr...... obvious reasons.

Westbrook killing my FT% in dynasty. Can't believe he's shooting 57% from the line.

Great, after Skal and Dejounte playing terribly for awhile, they sit on my bench in dynasty and go off for a combined 36 on, 12-14 from the line (86%). 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and a block. My start/bench philosophy this year leaves a lot to be desired.

It's a pretty good improvement from last year in Dynasty, for sure. Almost as big of a jump as Myiagi, but to the other side...

Btw, my rankings are slightly different. Gonna have to audit my formulas to see if smt is off

Maybe we ought to figure out a way to trade some FT% for steals in Premier.

I hate that team so anyone and everyone is available. Just trying to claw my way out of relegation.

Yeah, this has not been a good year for my squad. Losing Hayward was pretty big, the Bledsoe debacle and Rose getting injured (who could've known?!) hurt as well. I should have known Jeff Hornacek wouldn't play a young player like Willy Hernangomez. Then again, I'm too high on my young guys to give up on them, even though I probably should.

Gotta say I'm enjoying the downfall. Schadenfreude.
Just wasn't expecting Qwigglez rise and Kerrsed sudden fountain of youth for his oldies
