Re: Post Draft Fantasy Basketball Thread
Best and worst values by round:
Round 1 Best value - Yao Worst Value - Okafor Round 2 Best - Big Al Worst - Manu Round 3 Best - Billups Worst - Rip Hamilton Round 4 Best - Odom Worst - Rondo Round 5 Best - Jermaine O'Neil Worst - Ricky Davis Round 6 Best - Felton / Darko, and I also like my Devin Harris pick Worst - Korver / Curry Round 7 Best - Marvin Williams / Tyrus Thomas Worst - Luther Head Round 8 Best - Diaw Worst - nothing really jumps out Round 9 Best - Troy Murphy Worst - Adam Morrison Round 10 Best - Grant Hill Worst - everything's pretty reasonable Round 11 Best - Outlaw / Maxiell / Dorell Wright Worst - Marcus Williams Round 12 Best - Brewer / Carroll Worst - none Round 13 Best - Stack / Amir Johnson Worst - Balkman / Juwan Howard Round 14 Best - Reggie Evans / Louis Williams / Ike Diogu Worst - Damien Wilikins Round 15 Best - Turiaf / Steve blake Worst - Taurean Green Round 16 Best - Mike James / DJ Strawberry / Brezec Worst - Jaric / Antoine Walker Round 17 Best - Fesenko / O'Bryant Worst - nothing's unreasonable at this point in the draft

[ QUOTE ] What "system" are you talking about? I see people say "the system" all the time when talking about the Suns, but they run a basic fastbreak and pick and roll offense. Barbosa(or Nash when hes out there) seem to be the ones creating the system with their fast paced play. I think that Barbosa would be fine in any offense that allowed him to fastbreak which is about 1/2 of the teams in the league. [/ QUOTE ] When a player joins the Nash Suns, his fantasy production jumps about 20%. When a player leaves the Nash Suns, his fantasy production drops about 20%. Most of that is due to %s and TOs. Joe Johnson was a fantasy god in Phoenix ($12.3M production his last year there)...his scoring has increased considerably, but his %s tumbled and his TOs climbed for a net halving of his value (approx.) from Phoenix to Atlanta the past couple of years ($6.6M/yr). Quentin Richardson was serviceable for his 1 year with Phx/Nash ($4.5M production)...he's been a blank the past two years in NY ($1.5M/yr production). Raja Bell joins Nash/Phx and he goes from $1.4M production in Utah to an $8.8M/yr production in Phx. Or maybe those things are all just a random coincidence and Phoenix plays the same as every other team in the NBA. [/ QUOTE ] Fair points. What do you think make that "system" then? Is it Nash? Is it the coaching? Combonation?

Re: Post Draft Fantasy Basketball Thread
I think Phoenix plays more uptempo than any team in the league, as a result they both score more points (110 a game to lead the league last year - more than 10 more than the league average) and score on a relatively high percentage of their shots. As a result, they have inflated bulk stats (more opportunities for nearly every stat on a per-game basis). Their TOs are proportionately lower than other teams for reasons I don't fully understand. *shrug*
Basically, they run, run, run with Nash leading the way and everyone who gets significant minutes benefits, at least from a fantasy perspective - or at least that's how it seems to me. The book on the Suns (7 Seconds or Less) basically claims that both D'Antoni and Nash want to put up a shot as quick as possible, which at least explains some of it from an organizational perspective. Interesting read, btw.

Keep an eye out on the leauge message board in the next day or two for the always insightful and controversial league preview. Hint: Some of your teams aren't as good as you think they are.

Re: Post Draft Fantasy Basketball Thread
I like how in sergz's post my picks show up in 25% of the worst and 0% of the best. I clearly have the worst team and yes I am being completely serious, I had a horrible draft.

I'm sure lots will disagree, and that's part of the fun. And no, I do not think I am the best, or 2nd best, or even 3rd best team in the league.
