first year player need advice
joined my first auction keeper league this year. its a h2h pts league with 6 keepers, $200. inherited team with kawhiand cade as main pieces. i have 2 offers on the board for $29 kawhi: $54 Embiid or $36 Zion and $0 Herb Jones. which would you take or neither?
Lemme see if I can find you some auction league assistance as promised!
@fleslevi I find it kinda weird that the scoring includes negative points for every attempt rather than misses, but it does even out.
I do want to see the rest of your team besides Kawhi and Cade, but I think with that scoring I would take the Zion deal. Embiid is the best player of the group, but not by enough to offset the salary difference between he and Zion. I went into this thinking I would keep Kawhi with even more savings, but the projections I use with your specific scoring make it out to have Embiid as 4th best, Zion as 10th best, Kawhi as 19th best.
They're all elite, and they all have injury risk, so give me the recently-turned 22 year old rather than the 28/29 or 31 year old. Herb is a bonus, but might not even be a keeper with how points league scoring works.
(also for the record, Cade projects as top-30 this year so hold on tight!)
@rhett-bauer yes haha some of the formatting is weird, i didn't have any input in it. for example, we have a $5 minimum bet for veterans, and rookies have no keeper tax, so $0 Herb is a better value. I was leaning towards Zion too, Im thinking I'll go with that thanks.
Heres the rest of my team, i get 6 keepers with a $5 keeper tax, so i was thinking of going cade, jalen, herb, zion, wiseman. any advice would be greatly appreciated. this team went winless last year and they gave the guy the boot.
also i had one more deal potentially on the table: $29 kawhi, $22 Jalen Green, $11 Wiseman for $21 Jaylen Brown + $13 Jordan Poole for big savings, but i didn't want to get give all of that
@fleslevi I wouldn't do that one
I think I would keep Zion, Cade, Green, Vassell, and then pick from two of Murray, Barrett, Okongwu and Wiseman. I ranked them in the order that I would keep them in for a points league, but ultimately you keep who you want to root for!
@rhett-bauer thanks! would you rather get davion mitchell over herb jones? also what projections do you use?
