Your team is going to have luxury tax problems

I'm taking the Dodgers approach. Operating at a financial level where the luxury tax just doesn't even matter...

PMed Sparty, just an FYI...

 

[scoobus]

Looking forward to this round 5 reversal

4.17 DeAndre Jordan, C

Supposedly he's made huge improvements to his offensive game. I don't care though, I just want his rebounding and defense.

Really like this pick, worst case he's a great defensive Big off the bench. Tre and I were chatting about him earlier today.

What is PER

and usage %

 

[Colin Dowling]

Jordan should be a serviceable center.

4.14 - Nene, PF

Plantar fasciitis be damned, steal here if healthy. . . . . . . IF

With the Chris Kamans of the world going a half round ago, I'm amazed he was still around this late.

This isn't real life basketball guys.

Yep, Boozer and Jordan were two guys that I just mentioned were nice grabs for these teams without a big.

 

[AcerFC]

Thought about Boozer, went Scola instead

 

[Spartans Rule]

What is PERand usage %

PER is a stat created by basketball nerd John Hollinger that attempts to combine every stat into one number that sums up a player's per-minute production. It isn't used directly in the sim, but it's not a bad gauge of how valuable a player might be.From the usage thread on WIS:

Usage% is the player's possessions (FGA + FTA * 0.44 + Turnovers) per minute as a percentage of his real-life team's possessions per minute. This value indicates how often a player either shot the ball, drew a foul, or turned the ball over. The SimEngine uses this value in relation to the other 4 players on his team to determine how often each player gets the ball.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

What is PERand usage %

PER is John Hollinger's player efficiency rating. It's a system he uses to rate players.There's a link in the OP on usage% that tells you more about it, but it's basically a system the sim has devised to determine "who does something" based on the 5 players on the floor at any given time.

 

[AcerFC]

thanks guys. probably should have looked at those before drafting

 

[No. 16]

thanks guys. probably should have looked at those before drafting

Eh you have a general idea of it since no one really knows how the sim exactly uses usage rate.If you have Monta Ellis and Carmelo Anthony on a team both will shoot a lot at the expense of others. Between DeAndre Jordan and random big man the SIM won't let you give DeAndre Jordan more touches than rnadom big man even if you want to because Jordan has 10% USG vs 24% USG even though Jordan's FG% is higher (60% vs 53%).

Went back and forth over which of those guys to choose at 4.16.

 

[AcerFC]

How bout this

Lets say I pick a guy who shoots a lot of 3s. Do I get to say bring him off the bench to launch if I am down with 5 minutes to go or does the system do that automatically

Glad you went with Boozer. He's a really good pick IMO, but Jordan fits my team better at this point.

 

[Colin Dowling]

That is good to know.

From my experience, you pretty much just hope for the best.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

That is good to know.

We'll cover it every few pages from here on out.

 

[scoobus]

But then again the last time I played the basketball sim in WIS was 6 years ago.

 

[Kev4029]

thanks guys. probably should have looked at those before drafting

Eh you have a general idea of it since no one really knows how the sim exactly uses usage rate.If you have Marcus Thorton and Carmelo Anthony on a team both will shoot a lot at the expense of others. Between DeAndre Jordan and Carl Landry the SIM won't let you give DeAndre Jordan more touches than Landry even if you want to because Jordan has 10% USG vs 24% USG even though Jordan's FG% is higher (60% vs 53%).

Weren't you #####ing about spotlighting a day or two ago?

One of the things that sucks about the sim is that you can't really control who is on the floor at what time. You can set your starters and the number of minutes you want everyone to play, but the sim gets to make the substitutions and it doesn't do the greatest job.ETA: The sim will switch your team to a 3-point offense if you're trailing in the last minute or two, though.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Yes.

BTW who are Kraft and Cheese? Alias of regular FFA hoop junkies?

WIS baseball junkies along for the ride.

Kraft won an all-time basketball draft way back in the day.

 

[Chemical X]

think kraft is a multi user alias......different guys log in under that name i think.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Kraft knows everything.

 

[Yo Mama]

Sorry, in meetings. Sniped big time with Boozer and Jordan so I'll go

Derrick Favors PF/C

Can someone pm next

 

[Abraham]

Sorry, in meetings. Sniped big time with Boozer and Jordan so I'll goDerrick Favors PF/CCan someone pm next

Favors is a good choice here. It's time for him to start logging some minutes and take a "next step." They've got a lot of post players but he should be able to get some run if its ever going to happen for him.

 

[Abraham]

My hope at this point is that two of the three guys I'm looking at go in the next 3 picks before I select.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Rudy Gay

Likely to have 100 at SG, SF,PF so he could end up starting at 2 or as a super-sub. Decent defensive ratings on WIS and a lot of flexibility for an 18/7 type player.

I guess that's the problem working off my phone, sorry. New pick forthcoming.

 

[rodg12]

Not your best work there, AOD...

 

[Spartans Rule]

Does that make Rudy Gay the Gary Peters of WIS basketball?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Ouch.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Okay, we'll try this again.

Rodney Stuckey SG/PG

Hopefully his D rating isnt as atrocious this year.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

I looked at the sheet a couple times, just missed it. In fairness to me, I think he would have been a much better value here than where he was taken
