What do the best fantasy stat sites now do? 

Post#1 » by Fencer reregistered » Wed May 14, 2008 5:19 pm

I haven't played fantasy basketball for a few years now (since the LBJ/Wade rookie season, to be precise). So I'm out of touch.

Back then, stats sites were very primitive. You could get facts, and maybe sort player lists according to various stats. You could get splits and trends on a player-by-player basis. That was about it. I kicked but by being quicker at doing arithmetic in my head and noticing trends in Yahoo stats, and by having a simple linear-weighting formula based on various stats' distributions, with no kind of back-testing to validate their usefulness.

Are things much different today?

Thanks!

Before I set about trying to cause much better sites to exist, I'm curious as to what there already is ...

www.basketballmonster.com is a very good website for rankings; I recommend it.

I heard basketballmonster.com is pretty good.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this site yet...
