You have a potent 1-2 punch in the frontcourt, but with rebounding getting 2 categories, that makes it take center stage. Bigs get the biggest boost in value in this format. Carter and Collins are solid to round it out, but it would have been ideal to load up more on them. While rebounds don't look poor, it would be wise to get a few more people who get a good amount of them.
This team can definitely score and that's it's the biggest strength. And likewise, fg% looks to be the weakest cat. Threes and ft% look strong as well. Blocks look pretty good and steals have potential. It's a pretty good team, though, not among the elites.

The little prep and on the fly happens from time to time. I've done it in random last-minute leagues with settings I wasn't aware of were different as well. As far as how it worked out for you, it went pretty well. Fox lasted to you as your fourth and Morant as your 8th. Even in this size of leagues, they are tending to go earlier than that. Everyone else was pretty much in line with where they are going. RoCo and Isaac aren't the most efficient for this scoring setting but they are both oozing with defensive upside to make up for it. Efficient 3 and D players look like the best options for this setting. Getting 3 points for a 3 (tied for the most) would make me go hard after shooters. 3 point shooters are easier to find than defensive specialist, which makes that puzzling. Luckily you got Dame at 10 in this setting and also have a good amount of 3 point shooters. It might be a little lat enow but I would look to add Hart with the unknown status of Jrue for Sataransky. I like Garland, but in these settings, I'd look for a second option outside of the players you mentioned. This turned out to be pretty solid considering the circumstances.

There's a ton of talent on the WW, which is weird in a 12 team league. I'm confused with 3 keepers a season but you have 6 keepers? Are you adding 3 new keepers to your existing keepers each season? If there are 3 more keepers from the rest of the group Clarke is a no-doubter must-keep. McGee fits your team but his minutes aren't always going to be consistent. With that said PJW and White should not be on waivers right now and are instant adds. If it's not too late scoop them up, get them now. Potential keepers as well. I've said his name a lot previously, but Fultz is another pickup. As is Hart, if you have the room. Jrue's injury may turn out to be worse than revealed, and if not then you can find someone else. For players to drop I'd look into McGee and Warren first.

Thank you for all the kind words man and good luck this year! Sorry for the later reply. That stinks to miss out on the first week of the season. It shows you only have 2 keepers. Also, Mitch and Gallo for free is awesome. You got some good players around them, obviously paying up to get Harden. Bam, Turner, Bledsoe, Green, and Aldridge took up the rest of the cash. But that's an awesome collection of bigs. Aldridge in hindsight could have been a compliment to Harden instead, but he is still talented and helps with what you do. I'm a bit late but the WW is loaded. I'd drop Schroeder and Powell for people on the wire now. Warren and Mikal are trending down as well, but i'd hold depending on who's left. You could use more help in what Harden brings you. He'll give you a big head start in a lot of cats, but he doesn't have much help in some of them, mainly threes and assists. I see that you said streaming, and if you have space, then it's not a bad thing to consider either. Give yourself a weekly boost until you settle on those last spots. PJW, Brown, Herro, and Winslow would be my first targets on that list if they are still there. I'm sure there's going to be a few more people after the first couple days that you'll consider now as well, whether still available or that were dropped by other teams. You have a few spots that can be changed, but I'd go with the better long term guys first (ppl who look like musts) and then daily streamers (just 1 spot), but that also depends on how many pickups you get.

I'm less of a fan with Kemba that early than most, but he'll do what he does. Bam was a real get that late, and Gallo was basically free, wow. JV went late too. Winslow is another snag late. You have a ton of scoring which, and outside of Kemba and Harden (he gets a pass), the early scorers are efficient. Each point is 1 and the efficiency is going to help you get and keep a lot of points. For a points format, you got a lot of people that, well, literally score points. The whole roster is chock full of them. H2H I wouldn't like the lack of defensive stats, and still would like more since they are worth the most points, but this team will work here and your draft went very well. TT would be the only one I'd consider dropping and probably for Prince.

Santinoooooooo!

What’s good, and Guten abend!

Just drafted this 9CAT H2H team. What do you think? It’s got 2 IRS.

3 Harden
22 Siakam
27 Paul George! (Steal in round 3, no??)
46 Lowry (buff those assists!)
51 Thomas Bryant (really needed a C and he’s going big lately)
70 WCJ, not my favorite but kind of needed another C
75 Lonzo...extra assists and I think he’s fixed his shot
94 Brandon Ingram (I think this is his year, and Jrue has knee issues...)
99 Brandon Clarke (good even off the bench, add that to JV’s foot problems, and I’m all in)
118 Z-Co...needed another C and blocks/triples combo is nice
124 T. Prince...leading the Nets in minutes and well-rounded game
142 D Graham...this guy looks amazing...way better than Rozier honestly
149 Cedi Osman...opportunity knocks...

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!

I definitely agree with you that defensive stats (counting stats) are better and if it were 9 CAT I would definitely go more defensive. I, unfortunately was 1st pick (or lucy) so I got Kemba at 20th and Jrue at 21st. Seeing how the first few games has played out Tristan Thompson has been a beast with blocks and 3s! I was able to snap IT on my IL spot and was wondering if I should drop Gasol or Bogdan for him?

Santino,

Would love some feedback here. Drafted via auction yesterday -- 9 CAT H2H. Would love some feedback on the squad. Thanks for the help. Picked up T Prince on waivers this morning & looking to now drop Bridges as it looks like he's going to lose too many minutes to Oubre. Angling for Nunn & House off waivers tomorrow morning.

I know I am too good at blocks and have too many big men. If possible I'd like to know what guards or even SF should I target with some of my guys.

Thanks in advance!

I'm in a 12-team h2h league. 14 categories: fgm, fg%, ftm, ft%, 3ptm, 3pt%, pts, ast, orb, drf, st, blk, to, a/t ratio.

My original team was:

Lillard
Drummond

Kevin Love
Wendell Carter Jr
Rubio
Kanter
Marcus Smart
Joe Harris
Dinwiddie
Thaddeus Young

I've since replaced Kanter and Young with Huerter and Bazemore

Hey man, How's it going!?

This is going to be a good team when George gets back up and running. You have a very talented roster. With Collins going down, you can put him in the other IR spot and go get yourself another big man for whatever is out there. Holmes looks like the guy to grab right now. Other than that this is a well-rounded team that'll look to compete around the board, and your analyzations already have me covered! I liked your picks where you got them. Graham does look better than Rozier, who again, is still debatable on if he's good at basketball, I'd say no, but he'll still get his minutes. And Yes, George at 27 is too hard to pass up. Strong draft.

Missing the first week helps you in the case with two of your best players on IR. George is expected back fairly soon, but the depth of the Clips is strong enough to where they don't need to push him or play to return or play him heavy minutes when he does return. If you can weather the storm until both those guys get back and healthy, then this is going to be a dangerous team. Hopefully, Porter can get over his hip issue because that'll give you another valuable contributor. You can use another big man with Gasol playing sparingly and Lopez not know for rebounding. You have pretty much everything covered with a solid team as is and should stay above water, but those two are going to determine how far you ultimately go. You had to get quite a few bargains to put together this team in an auction.

For the keeper possibilities, yeah that trade makes sense. Though I'd rather have LBJ this year. it would depend on how the keepers work for me, like what picks do they take over or does it not matter? Clarke would make for an elite keeper if it is by rounds. Anyway, you have a strong team with those big three taking center stage. I'm going to assume 's graham' is supposed to be D graham. You have an insane amount of guard depth and will dominate in assists and treys with points and ft% being among the tops. What you'll have to get some help on is boards and blocks, especially after losing Bron, though your guards do offer a good amount of boards which helps. A little confused now looking at the second post as it looked as though you had IT and graham but now they are in free agency? They are both worthy of spots and fit well with your team (I also was counting them in). There are a lot of quality guys in free agency. With the now 11 man team, I would pick graham back up first. Followed by WCS to put on IR. He's the big you can certainly use. there's a handful of guys left to pick up and you can go with any, but I'd probably stick with IT and White for a potential trade. Eventually, you'll need some bigs, but the ones that'll help on the list are hurt. Kaminsky, Holmes, and Baynes may be options for you as well if available. I'd go with them over White for now.
