Post#1 » by BernardC » Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:20 am

roaster being: PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN
and cats are: FG% FT% 3PTM 3PT% PTS REB AST ST BLK TO

so how many 3pts, pts, reb, ast, st, blk in a week would be competitive?

Competitive stats are all relative to how the rest of the draft goes. If you are trying to be better than most in each catagory: 1.) you won't achieve it 2.) you'll end up in the middle of the pack anyways.

I guess my advice would be to focus on guys with good %'s that do a little bit of everything, as well as taking anyone who falls way below their value. At the end of the draft, take a risk on some rookies or specialists who will get you 1 stat and nothing else (most commonly something like Turiaf and blocks, or steve blake and assists).

Overkill can be a good thing, because than you can trade someone who is a steal or block machine for someone of higher value, and your loaded stat won't be as effected.

Excellent advice. Drafting Turiaf in the last round is something I try to do in every draft.

In fact, here is an article I wrote about that very thing:

Good article. You left out some guys (I still like Steve Blake for asts and Jeff Foster for rebounds), but the information is really useful.

On a per player, per game average somewhere near 16 points, 6 boards, 3.5 assists, 2 tos, 1 three, 1 steal, 48%/78% with around .8 blks should be competitive. I have no idea about 3PT%.
