Send me some offers for my bigs guys. Gortat, Hawes, and Bosh are the most available. But basically any of my bigs are up for grabs. Mostly looking for point guards. | ||

Also, maybe I'm imagining things but I think playing on a winning team is a significant factor in picking players. It seems generally more difficult to have really off nights when playing on good teams and vice versa. I have a feeling that none of this actually matters or makes sense mathematically, which I hope is true, and would make me feel better about owning three Bucks players. Actually now that I think about it I think this makes sense in H2H with a playoff system but not in roto. | ||

One thing you really don't mind is 3 players on a team like the knicks or lakers (if they had 3 worthy fantasy players rofl). This is because they tend to play a lot of off day games (primetime Thursday nights for example). What that leads to is less wasted games on busy nights like Friday where nearly every team is playing. On the other hand you want to generally avoid 3 players on something like the Cavs because they will almost never get those unique games. 2 players on a team is usually never a big deal. Another thing you want to factor with multiple players on a team is how many playoff games they have at the end of the season. You don't want to heavily invest in a team like GSW too much. They only play 9 games in the default fantasy playoffs. On the other hand Atlanta plays 12 over the same period. So someone like Stephen Curry will get you similar production as Teague in the playoffs despite how much more valuable Curry is. Generally speaking, I will avoid drafting a player that has a terrible playoff schedule. Curry/Klay/Lee/Iggy were low on my priority list this year for that reason. This is most important for the big names that are anchoring your team. For a 10th round pick I won't even look at the schedule. Of course in Roto none of this matter. This is strictly H2H theory crafting. | ||

I'm also wondering how much do you guys determine who to pick up by actually watching the player play, as opposed to going by stats? So far this season I passed on T. Jones and Jordan Hill mainly because I wasn't too impressed by them last year and wasn't convinced they could be consistent, and that I didn't have league pass this year until recently. Of course there are a lot of cases where someone plays really well but don't really make that much of an impact fantasy wise. But this year I think if I did watch them play I would've picked them up sooner instead of trying to wait for a good run of stats. | ||

But numbers don't tell a complete story, especially for younger players. | ||

Anyways, I think I'm doing okay without Rose.. it's like my second time playing in a fantasy league so I don't really know what I'm doing. | ||
