Meh on Bob McAdoo. I would never draft him. Same with Hakeem. In my mind, the only major snub was Bradley Beal. A few other really good people but they were generally drafted super late when they were picked anyway.
interesting - he's a plus in most important categories - is it because he's a 50-50 guy?
I don’t think he is bad. But he isn’t elite at any thing so am paying such a premium for minutes. I can get 2-3 players with less minutes stacked together with the same stats for a lot less money. My general rule is to avoid really high minute players in this league unless they have a couple stats where they are real exceptional.
I don’t really understand bds9992’s 9.4 million rule though. Usage has a cost so you should be paying a lot for 2-3 positions and a lot less for the others.
47 million / 5 = 9.4 million
That's for 48 minutes. There isn't a player who you would draft who costs $9.4M and plays 48 minutes.
You can go over $9.4M for less than 48 minutes, but that means you have to spend less than $9.4M on a position. With some of the cheapest guards in this format (say, Derek Harper, Jose Calderon, Ward) you only get up to 32 minutes or so. What about the other 16-19 minutes?
Everyone's going to have their own allotment of resources & that's fine, but think about the quality you get by spending less than $9.4M on a position. If it fills a need, great. The least I spent on a position was $8.5M. The most is $9.98M. But, I only bought 19041 minutes. Imagine if you bought more minutes AND spent more than $9.4M on a player. What are you giving up?
I feel like I have the most flexibility this way, but that's just me.
