Hypothetical: Value of a player that averaged a 5x5?

Let's assume that he has eligibility at all positions, and also averages
47% FG%
77 FT%
1.8 TOV
0.8 3PTM

Where would you draft this guy in a standard 9 cat Roto? In H2H?

I put it in BBM and the player would be a little more valuable than Durant numbers wise. Early first round in both settings. It's an Ibaka type player but in 2 cats. That player is really only bad in points and would have no impact either way in percentages.

first round because although he may suck royally in pts, he's not going to hurt you in %s, is ok in rebs & asts, and will easily win you stls and blks.

5 spg and 5 bpg?? I would use the #1 overall pick on that player. Doesn't hurt you in anything, and pretty much guarantees two category wins every matchup.

That would almost be unfair. He could literally win two cat single handedly every week. Sure there might be teams that could beat you in defensive stats if they focus their team around them but you'd spend the rest of your draft collecting players to dominate in %, pts, 3s or Reb.
