Well that makes this pick easy........it was between pippen & this guy
Dwayne Wade
I had to keep checking to make sure he hadn't been picked yet

I was torn between Pippen, Xxxxxx and Hakeem and then there was D Wade who I thought of for a second, but then excluded him from the discussion immediately...
So what I don't get is why is D Wade always picked so high in these leagues? I understand his defense is amazing, and that he has some other virtues (mins, ast%, solid treb%...you can say high usg) but his efg/usg combo really kills your team efficiency, doesn't it? You can also say that his best version is somewhat turnover prone and he also kills your 3pt%...those are big flaws imo. Can someone explain it to me? Has anyone ever won with Wade in this format? :)

P.S. Not that Hakeem is extremely efficient, but still...just like him more as a "go to guy".

Not quoting due to unpicked player mention.

Regarding patricije's question on Wade:
Even though I'd probably never draft him, owners usually do well with him. He eFG% is really his only flaw, he is pretty elite elsewhere. (Also, his top three seasons have TO% of 11%, 13% and 15% which range from good to okay... so I wouldn't say TO prone).

It seems I must start looking at to% rather than toper48...I find annoying that we don't have that stat on this site...

P.S. Sorry for mentioning undrafted player, didn't that was forbidden. Edited my post.

You can still use TO48. Just think about it a little differently... TO48 of 4.5 with a usage of 30, not bad! TO48 with a usage of 10, not good!

Yes, I know :)
Still, it's pretty hard to measure it precisely when you don't have the exact %. For example, now I took time to compare Wade and Hakeem and was really surprised to see Hakeem is actually more turnover prone than D Wade, although his toper48 is 0.4 lower than Wade's in both players' best seasons (in terms of salary)...Interesting... from now on I will defenitely have to pay that external site visit more often, shouldn't be lazy. :)
