Dame is the safe one, probably. Giannis is your punt play. KD/AD are the "big swings" and LaMelo is probably a FG% ignore play

The second one :)

It is tabulated on total shots made over total shots taken, not just averaging the averages

Hi there community,

I have a potentially silly question. After 7 years of Points League my crew have decided to delve into 9cat for the first time. I have been listening to Dan Besbris for the 7 years I have been playing so feel somewhat comfortable with my knowledge. I was wondering with fg% and ft% is it calculated as the average of all your players who you played over that week? e.g. if I have dame lillard and kessler as my "team" and they go:

Lillard 8/9 for 88.8%

Kessler: 1/3 for 33.3%

is my ft% category calculated as 61.05% (88.8+33.3/2) or 75% (8+1/9+3)?

Thanks for any help I receive.

Draft advice

Hi, I am in a standard 12 team H2H league, and is on 9th pick. Based on this position, I think the player I could pick is Dame/Giannis/KD/AD/Lamelo.

I have a few concerns such as:

1. Giannis might be steal by some upper pick managers, so, although he is my first choice among the list I provided up there, I afraid he might be drafted before I do.

2. KD's health issue. KD has not been a high GP player for few seasons, this concerned me a lot if I should pick this 34 years old superstar.

3. AD and Lamelo, I honestly doubt they should be drafted at 9th since KD and Giannis are generally better than them.

4. Dame. I am a Portland fan and now I dislike him LOL. Even if I draft Dame, his lack of defensive stats is also an issue.

Please advice.

We have had a 12-team Fantasy Basketball league for 22 years. One of our managers had to drop out tonight. Our Draft is next Monday, October 16th at 7:00 pm Mountain Time. The Points league tallies: Points, Rebounds, Steals, Assists, Blocks and Turnovers (1 point each).

Roster Positions: PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN, IL, IL

No buy-in..... It's all about pride in beating your fellow man. Plenty of smack-talk and chatter on the Message Board throughout the season.

Yahoo! will automatically assign a draft order on Monday morning; and it will be a "snake draft" where Team #12 gets the 12th pick overall and the 13th pick overall.

Email me at knautah@aol.com if you are interested and I will send you the invite.

@morris-kong Hey Morris, typically we operate on pacific time, so 12:01am... if you're going to be within an hour or two I'm sure support can assist. Email support@sportsethos.com and let's have them help figure this out with time zones and such

I bought the NBA fantasy pass, and I have a draft in Hong Kong on Oct14, will the B150 list be released by then? Just weary of the time zone
