Rate my team - NBA edition

[orangemonk]

I'm much better at fantasy baseball and football than I am basketball, but here's my auction team. $200 budget, 12 teams. Stats I'm lacking in? Anyone you think I went too high on or guys at the bottom that I could rid of? I took the Utah guys since Burke is out 8-12 weeks, I think one could provide some value while he's out. Same thoughts with Reggie Jackson while Westbrook is out.

[ArizonaKid]

Roto or H2H ?

Would have NEVER paid that much for Jennings.

Dragic is a steal but your best buy was Ilyasova For $2

Horford and Noah were solid buys, Rose will be worth it plus some.

U should have got Duncan, $14 is theft.

I would cut Burks there has to be someone better in the FA pool.

 

[Gorg]

A lot of injury risks on this team, which will kill you in H2H. Nelson probably shouldn't be rostered. Dragic is a steal at $9. I see him almost equal to Jennings, who is likely to miss some time to start the year.

 

[orangemonk]

H2H.
I probably overspent a little for Jennings but I don't feel like it hurt my team much later on when it came to bidding. I like his assist potential with the pistons pick and roll as I think dumars/cheeks will have him a little more disciplined.

Can't believe I got dragic for that and illysova for $3 blew my mind as I was prepared to bid into the mid teens for him.

Nelson I disagree with.. With 12 teams and 16 players / team, over half of the NBA is rostered. Almost anyone of note is on a team. The oladipo at point experiment can't last long. Nelson averaged 15/4/7 last year , and while he may not get that this year for two bucks in a deep league I think it's fine.

Appreciate the discussion either way as NBA is certainly not my forte.

 

[orangemonk]

Andre miller and Ramon sessions are the top 2 PGs that are available.

 

[ArizonaKid]

Thanks for posting those auction prices. I have never done an auction in hoops and am going to have to try one soon.

Agree on Nelson, for $2 you can't go wrong Even if he only plays 40 games.

Your FG% is gonna be hard to win With Jennings, Nelson, and Felton weighing you down. You will also have a hard time competing in blocks...Larry Sanders for $17 would have been nice. With that many PGs you may be hurting in TOs as well.

Strong in assists, steals, FT %, and 3s...rebounds gonna be ur make it or break it cat.

 

[orangemonk]

I thought sanders was a steal, just didn't have the bucks to spend at him at the time; so yeah I guess my homerism for Jennings did hurt a bit.

One thing is since it's head to head, and it's win or loss ( if you win the first week 9 categories to 1 your record would be 1-0) then it's ok to be short in some categories or punt them all together ... But yeah I am very PG heavy, that's something I may want to address. Honestly was just going for player value rather than trying to fit guys into scoring categories. League is pretty trade-friendly so hopefully can flip if I need to

 

[orangemonk]

got offered LaMarcus Aldridge and Nick Young for Al Horford and Alec Burks. Do I do it?

 

[Gorg]

got offered LaMarcus Aldridge and Nick Young for Al Horford and Alec Burks. Do I do it?

No. Aldridge injuries concern me. I think Horford has a better year, especially with ball hog, Josh Smith gone. Burks is an interesting deep sleeper who has way more upside than Nick Young.
