EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 Well gang, I'm starting up a separate fantasy league on Yahoo, or those interested in a rotisserie format. The league will hold a maximum of twenty teams, which, judging by the early interest, we should reach. If not, no harm. Here are the basics.... -Positions are PG, SG, SF, PF, C, UTIL. 3 Bench slots, and two IL slots. -Stats are points, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists, and FT%. There are a few missing stats, and I'll explain why. First off, field goal percentage tends to favor centers, rather than players who can actually shoot. Assist/Turnover Percentage was available, but I feel it is a junk stat. It doesn't accurately reflect any true skill. Turnovers themselves are just a function of who gets the ball most often. If anyone is wondering about other stats, just ask. I felt these six stats would get the basic premise accomplished, which is to make players form balanced teams. -Draft will be live on Yahoo, Tuesday Oct. 12 at 8pm ET. This allows everyone almost two weeks to get ready. -The league will vote on whether or not to veto trades. Here is the ID and password. First come, first served....

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 Uh, Al, I just wanted to let you know that the League doesn't get to vote on whether or not to veto trades. If someone wishes to veto it, they can do so. As always, I'm Crimson Storm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 No FG% thats crazy talk and the league needs 3 point shot made! So now there are no reasons why not to pick the ball hogs Kobe and AI since FG% will not penalize them for going 15-40 in a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 No FG% thats crazy talk and the league needs 3 point shot made! So now there are no reasons why not to pick the ball hogs Kobe and AI since FG% will not penalize them for going 15-40 in a game. Like I said, shooting percentage is skewed towards centers. Shaquille O'Neal usually shoots around 57%. Is he a great shooter? Fuck no. Free throw percentage is entirely unbiased, so I used that Three point shots count for three points each, and that's reflected in the points scored category. Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson are generally regarded among the better players in basketball. Why shouldn't players pick them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 I now must change my draft strategy to FIBA style since the commish loves the zone defense. Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson are generally regarded among the better players in basketball. Why shouldn't players pick them? They have a personality, that is why they are well liked or hated. It does not mean that they are the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
