Extremely slow drafting day

[Deledio2Conca]

What's with it? All 3 leagues have had I think 1 pick between them. Seems as though each draft has hit the most inactive person there! lol

BTW gridlocked I'm not picking on you here, the person before you took a while however.

A thread dedicated entirely to bitching about how shit slow people are drafting in the 3 different fantasyNBA leagues? Ridiculous! We should have one such thread per league.

Just to shit you guys Im gonna take my full alloted 48 hours to select my next player.

And then Ill pick a player who's gonna get injured. McGrady's mine fellas. And you can keep your hands of Grant Hill as well.

I thought Raffrox's keeper league had a pretty decent day - 7 picks all up so far.

Why just before your pick does it take 23.5 hours to reach you but immediately after 8 people draft in 14 mins.

It is a conspiracy I tells ya.

And why when you are sitting around all day with spreadsheets and mock drafts coming out of your butt, you have to wait. The moment its your pick. it's dinner time with visitors arriving and your partner wants to use the computer!!

how have you made the spreadsheets and what do you put on them. just players names and 06/07 stats?

pffft. that's for chumps - I've projected each individual game in the upcoming season in terms of probabilities for every potential pick, based on their last 5 seasons, then averaged it and factored in the risk of injury.

No-one gives away their fantasy system, do they? It's like, the unwritten law.

Nothing too scientific. nba.com has FSPI index ( http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...arsExp=-1&splitDD=0&sortOrder=9&statType=FSPI ) so I cut and pasted these figures into an excel spradsheet and made it so I can take away / add cats depending on the league set up. It took me 10 miutes and has no basis on any kind of fact.

Happy to share my (dodgy) tips.

Thats what makes fantasy bball so good. Everyone has their strategies and favourites.

nah mate, was just making sure you understood the cut-throat nature of the game lol...I do something pretty similar to raffrox.

There are a couple of different ways to compare categories, but no matter how you do it the results are pretty similar I think - and then you add your own estimates of a player's likelihood to get injured and likelihood to improve.

And then you pray he doesn't do a Brand.

im offended and have reported your post

fantasy comes down to a few things:

1. luck with injuries
2. a general knowledge of the players/game (dont need to be an expert)
3. time to study
