Fantasy Basketball: Historical Look at Rookies

September 22, 2021 | Historical Look at Rookies | 8 Comments

by:

Rookies. The shiny new toys. The next generation of stars. We all get pumped and excited for the next batch of players every season, but do we overrate them for fantasy? Since 2000, a rookie has never finished in the top 10 for fantasy in 9-cat leagues. Only three have finished in the top 20, nine in the top 50, and 48 in the top 100. That’s out of 624 eligible players (only looked at first-rounders). I’m not saying to eschew drafting rookies, as the allure of the unknown is intoxicating, but be price conscious. Below is a sheet with all the rookies since 2000. The columns should be self explanatory, but if there are any questions, just holler in the comments.

Hey Son. Wondering if you could offer a coupleof quick opinions.

Basic 9 cat keeper league. Can only protect keepers for 2 drafts. Consolation round determines top half of draft, so i have 1st overall. (All picks last 3 rounds last year is my excuse for not winning the league haha)

1. I have to choose between JJJ and Lowry as my 3rd keeper. Brow and KAT (soon to be Harden) are the other two. JJJ normally better keeper (imo) but pg is thin position and….

2. Pg13 is back in draft because someone can’t protect him and a trade didnt happen. So i have to choose between him and Zion.

Thoughts?

That’s a tough one, as I can envision taking either path. Assists can be tough to hunt for, so the prudent thing would probably be to keep Lowry. With that said, JJJ has so much upside and you’d dominate the big man cats….and you’d be able to absorb FG% busters like Rozier and Rubio. Plus, Teague seems to be undervalued this year. I probably side with the latter option, but if don’t hate the former one. Comes down to your personal philosophy.

Thanks Son. Didnt think of absorbing the fg% of later pgs. Ill also admit that being a fan of the world champions makes it harder. (Subtle how i threw that in there eh lol)

Every draft is it’s own entity. As for particular trends this year, I don’t think it’s changed too much from years past. Dimes and bigs get drafted early. Bertans and Duncan get drafted pretty early due to the tres.
