2016 Rookie Draft Winners


Last year was one of the most exciting seasons of fantasy sports I have ever been a part of. Broken records, close finishes and a variety of differently-styled teams blossoming had me completely immersed. Despite this, I actually expect this upcoming season to be an even wilder ride. 

We have strong, creative owners across the board. We have almost every team in some sort of healthy state. And most importantly, with our 5th season (The wooden anniversary) upon us, this league has truly grown to become the Dynasty League I had once dreamed of being a part of (Just another reason why you guys rock).

My mentality as an owner has changed so much now from where it was during our inaugural season. How I value players, how I view their contracts, how patient I'm willing to be with a prospect. I am now much more concerned with the seasons beyond just the one that is upcoming. I value my team's 3 year plan.

I am sure that I am not alone in feeling this way.

Which brings me to our recent rule change: incoming rookies no longer take up keeper spots. This is about to change the game in a big way. It greatly increases the value of keeping rookies. This, in turn, increases our willingness to give rookies extended chances. I predict this rule change will cause a league-wide step towards emphasizing 3 year plans over 1 year plans.

All this is to say that Rookies are hot right now. So hot that the Rookie Draft is suddenly more important than the Auction Draft. This is, no doubt, the most important Rookie Draft in the history of the Juicy Basketballs League.

Here is who I think advanced their dynasty's cause the furthest last Thursday night and why:

Chris (Team nipple)

Like it:
Drafting Buddy Hield at #4 - Buddy Hield just finished his Senior year of college. Many of his lottery companions were recently freshmen. What that means is that what he brings to the table is more polished and more likely to produce while also being more similar to his eventual peak. He seems to be the high floor, low ceiling candidate of this year's draft; the surest shot. The Defending Champion is doing what a defending champion does. The best team in the league took the guy who is most NBA ready and already has a starting position on lockdown in New Orleans. He could be end up being what New Orleans always wanted Eric Gordon to be: a steady shooting scorer from the wing who plays more than 55 games a season.
The perfect fit for The Defending Champion who is looking for good, cost-efficient value to build around his superstars.

Brett (Balls to the Wall)

Like it:
Receiving $15 for #20 - The second round has a low success rate. In the past, the majority have not even been selected as keepers, making them ultimately worthless. To get any sort of value from a second rounder is a win. Free Agent cash is an undervalued asset in my opinion. The $15 he got here can turn into almost anything. Draymond Green has been picked up for less. Rudy Gay has been traded for about as much.
This was the most improved team last year. I see this trade as a good investment into continuing that improvement.

Love it:
Receiving Harrison Barnes and #9 for #8 - Brett got Harrison Barnes for the difference between Marquese Chriss and Thon Maker... whatever that is.
I see Balls to the Wall as a threat to make the Finals next year. I think Barnes is a good value choice for his situation and Brett got him for next to nothing.

Rich (MAMA said Knock u out)

Like it:
Drafting Dejoute Murray at #17 - This might look like nothing but with Duncan retiring, the baton has been passed in San Antonio. Tony Parker's eventual decline has been a long time coming. George Hill once made a fantasy living as a combo guard for San Antonio and Parker was much younger then. Murray was someone who many believe slid on the actual NBA draft night, resulting in a steal for San Antonio. Maybe he has the chops.
Rich has proven himself to be a patient owner who has enough firepower in his starting lineup to take a chance on someone who doesn't cost him a dollar or take up a keeper spot. Great fit.

Drafting Jaylen Brown at #5 - Jaylen Brown is in the unique situation of being the only NBA lottery pick that will be playing for a defending playoff team. His talent is high but his opportunity is currently cloudy. That can scare people away. But Brad Stevens has been a coach to find (and use) his players' strengths while Danny Ainge has proven to cultivate his lineup for the future whenever he can. Maybe Crowder gets traded. Maybe Brown fills the role that Evan Turner is leaving behind. Maybe both.
Rich has been a master of finding the balance between competing for this year and next. Brown might be able to help on both fronts.

Love it:
Drafting Jamal Murray at #7 - I had Jamal Murray at #4 on my draft board. I have seen him be compared to both Austin Rivers and CJ McCollum. I'm optimistic. In Denver, he has all the opportunity in the world to play next to Mudiay as the Nuggets will likely be out of contention early and rebuilding for the future. He may struggle at first but I can see him averaging close to 20 or so FPPG by the end of the upcoming season, which wouldn't be bad for a 19 year old drafted at #7.

Tyler (Blow Me)

Like it:
Drafting Bismack Biyombo at #16 - I officially don't know what the hell Orlando is doing. I loved when they had Payton, Oladipo, Gordon, Harris and Vucevic as their 5. They've somehow traded away 40% of that and seem intent on trading away at least 20% more in Vucevic. With starter's minutes, Biyombo should be able to average around a double-double. That sort of consistency is what everyone is looking for in their front line.
Tyler has a team that I see in the playoffs as soon as next season. Biyombo may very well be an important rotation player for Tyler throughout this season.


Drafting Eric Gordon at #14 - Say what you will about Gordon's injury history but you cannot deny that he possesses offensive talent when he is on the court. He averaged over 21 fantasy points a game last year. He is on a better team, in a role that should suit him (potential 6th man of the year according to Daryl Morey), and he will be playing for one of the most fantasy friendly coaches around.
Much like Biyombo, I see Gordon filling a very crucial role for Tyler this coming season. Don't forget, Eric Gordon was once the highest paid fantasy player in our league. Now he is on a $0, keeperless contract. He may not have ever lived up to his all-star expectation but value is undeniably there.

Love it:
Drafting Ben Simmons at #1 - Ultimately, I think we all want our favorite players on our fantasy teams. It's just more fun that way. Getting to cheer for the same guy because he gets you fantasy points and because he is your favorite player is a unique joy. I have little doubt in my mind that Brandon Ingram will one day become one of Tyler's favorite players. I suspect Tyler feels the same way. On top of that, Ingram clearly has superstar potential. I can only imagine how hard this decision must have been for Tyler. From the outside, the #1 selection may seem like a lay-up, but I think Tyler hit a home run. Ben Simmons' floor is Lamar Odom. That's really high. His ceiling is Magic Johnson. That's even higher. I believe having Ben Simmons on a $10 rookie contract is instantly one of the best assets in our entire league. Tyler has his superstar for years to come.

Monty (Basket Brawlers)

Like it:
Receiving a 2017 1st rounder for #14 & #16 - Monty's team has quickly become a contender for most exciting team of the future. I'm not sure what direction he is going to take the team in but as of right now, it looks like his options are almost unlimited. He could make a push for the playoffs, with the rights moves maybe even the finals or he could concern himself with building around the likes of Ingram, Russell, Dunn, and Payton (Four NBA starters under 23 years old). Maybe he goes for all of the above. Either way, I am a huge fan of first rounders and even though I expect Tyler to make the pick less valuable than most, this is a piece that fits in line with that Ingram-Russell-Dunn-Payton core.
It looked like Monty had too many picks. He was able to flip that excess into something with lasting value.

Love it:
Drafting Kris Dunn at #3 - All aboard the Kris Dunn hype train. This guy is good. He is a triple-double waiting to happen. Yes, maybe he and Rubio get in each others' way for a time but talented players find their way onto the floor and I believe Dunn has the talent. He dominated the Big East, he challenged his fellow lottery prospects to 1-on-1 NBA workouts, he dominated Summer League. Besides Ingram and Simmons, Dunn is the only guy from this draft class that has both ROY and eventual All-Star potential.



Drafting Brandon Ingram at #2 - Brandon Ingram is being pegged as the offensive wing threat of the Lakers' future. Luke Walton has already publicly complimented his basketball IQ (One of the most important skills for an NBA player to have). The opportunity is wide open for him to take the reigns and become the face of his team. All signs point to Ingram becoming a franchise player, in both the NBA and in the Juicy Basketballs League.
This is a great fit for Monty and the structure of his fantasy team. Much like Simmons, I believe Ingram's rookie contract will soon become one of the most valuable assets around.

'16 Playoff Predictions - #1 Team nipple versus #4 Por Favors

Fantasy Points Per Week: NIPP – 1087, PF – 917
Fantasy Points Per Game: NIPP – 31.8, PF – 28.3
Games In Week One: NIPP – 33, PF – 37
Projected Games in Week Two: NIPP – 35, PF – 37

Personnel Notes:
NIPP – Jimmy Butler (Day to day), Shelvin Mack (Added 2/28/16)
PF – Kristaps Porzingis (Day to day), Danilo Gallinari (Out one month to Season), Kobe Bryant (Day to day), Mike Conley (day to day)

The next step won't be so easy.

The excitement just keeps coming. The best season in franchise history for either team, two dominate playoff victories, two of the strongest team identities in the league, and that's just so far. So who gets to go to the finals for the first time?

In one corner, we have this season's highest scoring Point Guard, Small Forward and Center all on the same team. In the other corner, we have a squad containing 12 players averaging 25+ fppg in their last 30. Team nipple has a strong supporting cast around their Big Three. In fact, Milsap, Butler, and Gannis give this team more of a Big Six vibe. Meanwhile, even though Por Favors leads the league in 25+ guys, only one of those 12 players is averaging 35+ (Melo).

So let's see if we can find some sort of bottom line here. Going off of last 30s, Team nipple's entire squad is averaging 28.9 fppg, while their bet 10 guys are averaging 35.0 fppg. Meanwhile, Por Favors' coinciding numbers are 27.7 fppg and 30.7 fppg. So, depending on how much you think the bench matters, Chris's point producing advantage lies somewhere between 4 and 1 point per game. That range is rather large actually; it means the difference between a 300 point victory and a coin-flip finish.

Another way we can see the bench coming into play here is in the game advantage. Despite Gallinari, Kobe, and Conley all sporting red letters on the Por Favors bench, Nathaniel was still able to grab a pretty sizable game advantage. This tilts the scales to just about even, with Team nipple projected to score 2162 and Por Favor projected to score 2094. That's just about as close as they come.

Should I tie up most of my money in keeping my stars? How valuable is a strong bench? Is streaming a viable option in this league?
How this all plays out will give us insight into a lot of burning questions and maybe even define a new meta game for this league as a whole. I can't wait.

Last round, Por Favors threw up a very impressive 2096 while Team nipple totaled a slightly more impressive 2342. While it seems like those numbers might easily be swapped after two weeks, I will only believe it when I see it. I'm not betting against a team with five 40+ guys.

Prediction: Team nipple

'16 Playoff Predictions - #4 Por Favors versus #5 Balls to the Wall

Fantasy Points Per Week: PF – 900, BTTW – 856
Fantasy Points Per Game: PF – 28.0, BTTW – 25.5
Games In Week One: PF – 37, BTTW – 35
Projected Games in Week Two: PF – 34, BTTW – 36

Personnel Notes:
PF – Monta Ellis (Acquired in trade involving Willie Cauley-Stein) and George Hill (Acquired in the same trade)
BTTW – Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Out of Season), and Nikola Mirotic (Out 2 to 3 weeks)

Who will elevate to Round 2?
Before I get into the analysis of this matchup, I would like to take a moment to congratulate Brett on an extremely successful first regular season in our great league. Taking a team that has never gotten higher than 8th place and turning it into a legitimate contender is not easily done. Especially for someone who is new to how we do things.

And as a reward for all of his hard work, Balls to the Wall will be facing Por Favors in the first round.

Por Favors is not unfamiliar with this position. In the last 3 seasons, they have been 6th seed, the 3rd seed and the 8th seed and, somehow, have finished 6th all three years. Every year, they have been good, but have been missing that je ne sais quoi to propel them into becoming a great team.

While Por Favors might lack the overwhelming superstar power of Team nipple, The Defending Champions, or Pippen Aint Eazy, this team may have finally found their calling card: the best bench in the league.

And now that we are in the playoffs, that critical asset only becomes more critical. It is not often that a team plays 35 games and is still at a game disadvantage, but that is the position that Balls to the Wall is in. And with guys like Gallinari, Conely, and Kobe ready on the bench, I doubt Por Favors is going to relinquish that advantage in week two.

Unfortunately for Balls to the wall, this point is escalated by the injuries to MKG and Mirotic.

On top of all that, Por Favors have really seemed to come together as of late, sporting 2332 fantasy points in the final two matchups of the season.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, there is hope for Balls to the Wall. In the final two weeks, they have managed to score 2136 fantasy points. While that isn't as high as Por Favors, it still good enough for top 4 in the league. Meanwhile, Lowry, Wall, and Aldridge have all seen upticks from their season averages to their last 30 averages. All this indicates that BTTW will be bringing some heat of their own.

So what happens when two hot teams meet in the playoffs? Who gets their first franchise playoff win this year? As always, I'm going with the game advantage.

Prediction: Por Favors

'16 Playoff Predictions - #3 Admiral Kryptonite versus #6 MAMA said Knock you out

Fantasy Points Per Week: K – 911, MAMA – 817
Fantasy Points Per Game: K – 27.0, MAMA – 23.9
Games In Week One: K – 35, MAMA – 35
Projected Games in Week Two: K – 35, MAMA – 34

Personnel Notes:
K – Patrick Beverly (Added 1/31/16), Archie Goodwin (Added 1/31/16), and Willie Cauley-Stein (Acquired in trade involving Monta Ellis and George Hill), Devin Booker (Acquired in trade involving Rajon Rondo), Jerian Grant (Added 2/21/16)
MAMA – Stanley Johnson (Day to day), JaMychal Green (Added 2/21/16), Maurice Harkless (Added 2/21/16)

Can Klay Thompson help fuel an upset?
The most intriguing part of this matchup has to be how enigmatic these two teams are. Evolution has been the common theme here. Admiral Kryptonite has always been one of the more active teams in the transactions market and that is easily seen in the fact that Monta Ellis, George Hill, and Rajon Rondo have all been shipped off in the last month. Meanwhile, after starting 1-6, MAMA said Knock you out has won 8 of its last 9.

All of that is to say that even though Admiral Kryptonite has the clear advantage in both FPPW and FPPG on the season as whole, those numbers might be a bit misleading.

Furthermore, the game advantage seems to be basically nonexistent. So I guess we're going to have to take a closer look.

Last year, MAMA started the season red hot, with a record of 10-2 after 12 weeks, before stumbling in the final month. Despite that stumble, they finished 11-5 and held onto the #4 seed. From there, Rich put together a very nice run, averaging a hefty 1945 fantasy points across his 3 playoff matchups before falling to The-Soon-To-Be-Defending-Champions, Team Penetration in the championship.

The pattern with this team seems to be that they can go through spells of being very hot and very cold. Maybe that's just how it goes when your best players are shooting scorers like Klay Thompson and Gordon Hayward.

Meanwhile, despite what you might think with all the personnel changes, Admiral Kryptonite has had a rather consistent year. When looking at FPPW on the season, Admiral Kryptonite has the 3rd lowest standard deviation and the 2nd lowest range. Meaning, they stuck relatively close to their average FPPW all year.

But when your numbers are lower, inconsistency can be a good thing. For every bust, there is a boom. While it is not too unlikely that MAMA finishes this round with something in the range of 1350, it is just as likely that they drop something like 1950. And if its the latter, Admiral Kyrptonite is in from some trouble.

Over the last two matchups of the season, Admiral Kryptonite produced 1935 fantasy points while MAMA said Knock you out produced 1891.

In the end, I believe MAMA said Knock you out would have to step too far away from their average to overcome Admiral Kryptonite's consistency. And while this is certainly going be a close match, the conservative in me always like to take the consistent choice.

Also, I'm not afraid of any bitch ass jinx!

Prediction: Admiral Kryptonite

'16 Playoff Predictions - #2 Defending Champions, Team Penetration versus #7 Pippen Aint Eazy

Fantasy Points Per Week: PENE – 972, PEZY – 917
Fantasy Points Per Game: PENE – 28.4, MIN – 28.3
Games In Week One: PENE – 32, PEZY – 35
Projected Games in Week Two: PENE – 39, MIN – 35

Personnel Notes:
PENE – Eric Gordon (Out 2 to 4 weeks), Norris Cole (Added 1/31/16), Steven Adams (Added 1/31/16), and Gerald Henderson (Added 2/21/16)
PEZY – Tyreke Evans (Out for Season), Danny Green (Added 2/14/16)

Whose superstars will reign supreme?
I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a playoff series that I was not involved in. Over the 4 regular seasons of our dynasty league, these two teams have consistently been contenders. In those 4 years, The Defending Champs have averaged 918 fantasy points a week while Pippen Aint Eazy has averaged 932. Both of these teams have made the playoffs all for years and of the 21 total playoff wins available so far, these two teams account for 9 of them.

And yet, they have never met in the playoffs before.

Pippen Aint Eazy has had some rotten luck this year. Despite putting up the third most fantasy points on the year, they are somehow 7th in the standings. You could say Our Defending Champions are experiencing some bad luck too, considering they have to play such a big threat so early in the playoffs.

These two teams have almost identical fantasy production on a per game basis, but Team Penetration has the edge when we look at points per week. I suspect this is because of Michael's ability to find solid streaming options for the weaker parts of his lineup. What this means is that guys like Alex Len and Enes Kanter may be dragging down Team Penetration's FPPG, but they are being maximized by being played only on weeks where they have a lot of games. Meanwhile, Pippen Aint Eazy has a much more solidified starting lineup and we can probably expect Freddy to rely on the same 10 guys the rest of the way.

So how will these two different styles play out? It's all going to come down to whose Big 3 performs better. Just last week, we saw what kind of superstar strength these two teams have with Lillard throwing up 70 fantasy points last Friday and Anthony Davis topping that two days later with 86. No offense to the other 14 guys involved in this match up, but when you are dealing with numbers that high, its hard to see production of Jae Crowder or Zaza Pachulia as the deal breakers.

Over the next two weeks DeMarcus Cousins, James Harden, and Anthony Davis play a total of 20 games while Paul George, Steph Curry, and Damian Lillard are playing 23. That may not seem like much, but those are 3 extra opportunities for a 50+ game. That alone is going to be tough for the Defending Champions to overcome.

In addition all that, Pippen Aint Eazy actually has the overall game advantage this week and, while Team Penetration is set to make that up next week, Pippen Aint Eazy always has the option of making some lineup changes to sustain or even improve that advantage.

With two team this elite and this comparable on paper, it's the details that make the difference. It's going to be a barn burner and it is going to be close as hell, but my money is always going to be on the game advantage.

Prediction: Pippen Aint Eazy

'16 Playoff Predicitions - #1 Team nipple versus #8 Make It Nashty

Fantasy Points Per Week: NIPP – 1076, MIN – 870
Fantasy Points Per Game: NIPP – 31.5, MIN – 26.9
Games In Week One: NIPP – 33, MIN – 35
Projected Games in Week Two: NIPP – 35, MIN – 36

Personnel Notes:
NIPP – Jimmy Butler (Out 2 to 3 weeks), Jamal Crawford (Added 2/7/16), Jerami Grant (Added 2/14/16), and Lance Stephenson (Added 2/12/16)
MIN – Eric Bledsoe (Out for Season), Rajon Rondo (Acquired in trade involving Devin Booker)

Will the addition of Rondo and the subtraction of Butler make a big enough impact?

It was February 23rd of 2015 when Round One of our beloved Fantasy Playoffs began and it was on that day that these two teams met as the 2-7 matchup. Team nipple had finished the season with a 12-4 record and had put up a combined 2188 total fantasy points over the final two weeks of the regular season. Meanwhile, Make It Nashty finished with a much less impressive 7-9 record and a total of 1432 fantasy points in that same stretch.

For those of you who don't remember (David) or those of you who choose to forget (Chris), the result over the next two weeks told a much different story. Team nipple was slammed with an almost comical amount of injuries that were exemplified by the absence of both Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant. While Make It Nashty was experiencing a rather warm streak (with nobody contributing less than 134 fantasy points over the two week span), Team nipple saw dud performances from Andrea Bargnani (67 points), Jusuf Nurkic (39 points) and Tyson Chandler (16 points). Despite a superhuman showing from Russell Westbrook (398 points), Make It Nashty was able to execute the upset by putting up 1921 fantasy points to Team nipple's 1814.

A lot has changed in a year. Team nipple has only furthered its cause, completing possibly the most dominate regular season this league has ever seen. Improving in every category with a record of 15-1, a season average of 1076 fantasy points per week and 2426 fantasy points over the final two weeks. In comparison, Make It Nashty is sporting a record of 7-9, a season average of 870, and a total of 1786 points in those same two weeks.

But is upset magic in the air once again? In the last few weeks, we've seen a swing of Team nipple losing Jimmy Butler and Make It Nashty adding Rajon Rondo. Those are two rather significant sources of fantasy points (with Butler averaging 34.9 on the year and Rondo averaging 32.8) and should not be taken lightly. Also MIN seems to have the advantage on games once again, although it is a slim advantage.

Despite all that, I do not think history will be repeating itself. While Butler's injury is certainly a blow, Jamal Crawford has stepped in nicely (averaging 26.8 fantasy points over the last two weeks) as a temporary solution. And while Rondo and the game advantage will be nice boosts that will definitely make this matchup exciting for a time, I do not think they will be enough to overcome the likes of Andre Drummond, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook.

Prediction: Team nipple

Week 4 Power Rankings

Week 4 Power Rankings

 Before we get into things, I want to show you guys something:

This is a typical Bell Curve. It is a visualization of most data distributions (a frequency map). The middle (0) is the exact average. The curve drops down on either side (as the numbers get further away from 0), displaying that the further you get away from the average, the rarer you become.

The season is early, but this is my best statistical guess of how good your team looks this year. It is meant to be unbiased, but, of course, it is based off of what my biases consider important.


The data pool is small, the science is imperfect, and I have a degree in Kinesiology. Here we go ;)
