2017-18 RCL Basketball Update: Week 17

“Champions keep playing until they get it right” (Billie Jean King)

The trade deadline offers weird results, with teams in both fantasy and reality changing rosters. The biggest moves over the past week in the RCLs involved those players that moved in real life; Larry Nance Jr., Jae Crowder, Rodney Hood, George Hill, Emmanuel Mudiay and D.J. Augustin.

I’m happy to announce the creation of a Champions League for next year, which will pit all of this year’s league winners and some Razzball writers against each other. I will keep you all informed as things progress.

NBA Player Rater: Week 16 and Year-To-Date Top 30

February 7, 2018 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 2 Comments

The Player Rater is a tool to evaluate the performance of a player with only one number. This is not a perfect tool and will not guarantee victory in fantasy, but this is useful to help improve and evaluate your team.

In each category of scoring, a number is calculated to represent the average total in that category. If a player has the average, his rating in that category is 0.00. The numbers represent how much a player is above or below the average.

If the rating is positive, that player is an above-average fantasy player in that category. If the rating is negative that player is below-average. The sum of all ratings in each category gives us a number (the PR), and then we rank the players accordingly.

I have not included turnovers, as the evaluation in PR is very controversial in my opinion, so if you’re in a league with turnovers, you must keep in mind this.

If you have any question let me know.

“Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” (Michael Jordan)

 

With the trade deadline, leagues can change in a flash. Boban Marjanovic can be an example of that, from an irrelevant place in Detroit, he can be a top 50 guy with the Los Angeles Clippers. On the other side, one of the great surprises this season, Tyreke Evans, a top 30 fantasy player, is a trade candidate and his value is likely to drop in a big way. Others like Willy Hernangómez, Marcus Smart, Lou Williams, and DeAndre Jordan are in the same situation.

“You never know who’s swimming naked until the tide goes out” (Warren Buffett)

This week researchers in China cloned two monkeys using the nuclear-transfer technique employed to make Dolly the sheep. Sadly, we can not clone a healthy version of DeMarcus Cousins. Before his injury, he averaged 25.6 points, 13 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. Only three players (Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in NBA history had ever averaged at least 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists. The impact in our leagues will be instantaneous and twelve of our teams never will be the same.

“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” (Benjamin Franklin)

Another week of fantasy, with the most exciting games so far this season. This week I learned how much you can you miss a player. I miss you Kawhi Leonard. I have Kawhi on three teams, one being an RCL, and they are my worst teams of all time. Curious.

I’m amazed by the quality of the owners in the RCLs. In our twelve leagues, some are more difficult than others, but the average level is very high. This week, I looked at the biggest surprise players this season, where they were drafted in RCLs, and compared that with the average draft position in general.

Player Actual Ranking General ADP Razzball ADP Highest position at Razzball Lowest position at Razzball
V. Oladipo 10  62  48 39 56
L. Aldridge 12  51 56 49 65
Jr.Holiday 17  64 50 41 63
G.Harris 22  90 63 45 74
L.Williams 26 74 79 68 86
T.Evans 35  152 142 127 Waiver x 8
J.Tatum 36 128 137 87 Waiver x 3
D.Mitchell 40 184 140 121 Waiver x 5
J.Richardson 47  161 114 88 138
L.Markkanen 50  148 140 132 Waiver x 6

2017-18 RCL Basketball Update: Week 13

“Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better” (Pat Riley)

With Week 13 in the books of history, fantasy basketball reaches a critical point this week. A lot of teams are looking up to 6th place and some may be thinking of throwing in the towel. This is a mistake. In a nine-cat league, two good weeks can make an apparently bad team into a monster, that can win a league. I remember last year when I won a Yahoo Fantasy Winner League and one of the ITL Satellite leagues. In both cases, I was out of the playoffs in week seventeen. The secret was working the waiver wire and buying low on the best players for the second half of the season (a constant in every fantasy season). I bought low on Chris Paul, Gary Harris, Khris Middleton, Marquese Chriss, and Nikola Mirotic, for example. This season these things will happen again, for sure.

“We don’t have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest” (Warren Buffett)

 

“History doesn’t repeat,” said Mark Twain, “but it sure does rhyme.” Mark Twain wasn’t talking about the NBA in particular but he could have been. Two of the best players have returned (Kawhi Leonard and Isaiah Thomas), and one of the best has fallen (James Harden). It seems this is our weekly ritual, and it’s had a high impact on the results for the last two weeks in our leagues.
