I like what Sabonis is doing. Thinking about trying him at #1 option to see what happens.

Day 60 Top 10

1. Jeff Hornacek PG 23 6'3'' 190 C+ A- B+ B- D+ B


Hornacek jumps to the top spot due that FG%. He looks to be the front runner for ROY.


2. Benji Wilson SF 19 6'8'' 180 B B+ C+ B C A


Wilson's PPG continues to improve and his FG% has went up a little in the last 30 days.


3. Arvydas Sabonis C 22 7'3'' 285 B C C B+ B+ A


FG% and steals dropped. I don't think he likes playing in an inside offense.


4. Brad Daugherty C 20 7'0'' 270 A- C- C- B A- B


Those TOs are just too gross for me to have him any higher. In four seasons I hope Eric tells us what his handles and passing started at.


5. Len Bias SF 21 6'8'' 230 B- B+ C A- B- B


Still struggling but the good news for Victor is that Rudy Gay practically had the same exact stats during his rookie season.


6. Dell Curry SG 21 6'4'' 190 C A- C B- C+ B

Curry jumps into the top 10 due his decent FG% and because I'd like to see what he could do with with starter's minutes.


7. Drazen Petrovic SG 21 6'5'' 200 C+ B+ C B+ C A


I had him at #3 last time due to his efficient shooting which appears to be gone so he had to drop.


8. Dennis Rodman SF 24 6'7'' 215 D+ D+ C- A+ A D


The only player in the top 10 starting for a playoff team. I want to see Jerry West play him at PF next season next to Bill Russell.


9. William Bedford C 22 7'0'' 240 B- D+ D+ B+ B B

Having a decent season but looks like a third big.


10. Max Willis C 22 7'4'' 286 C+ D+ C A- C+ B


Still blocking shots and the rest of the class is struggling.

I'll probably keep it going but may do every 40 days instead of 30.

Jeff Hornacek: 2nd rounder

[SugarShaun]

I am such a fool for taking Johnny Dawkins over Hornacek

[MistleTacoe]

Just a heads up @fason, Roy Tarpley has better stats than #9 and #10 (and arguably #7 and #8). I'll just assume that was a mistake

Not a mistake

And how dare you question my opinion.

Day 90 Top 10

1. Benji Wilson SF 19 6'8'' 180 B B+ C+ B C A


Benji improved his PPG, FG% and 3P% so he jumps to the top spot. That 3P% is very impressive for a rookie.


2. Arvydas Sabonis C 22 7'3'' 285 B C C B+ B+ A


Field goal percentage has gone up .20 since RV switched from inside to outside focus. He's back in the ROY discussion.


3. Jeff Hornacek PG 23 6'3'' 190 C+ A- B+ B- D+ B


Hornacek drops due to his PPG and FG% declining. Also because Benji and Sabonis improved. Hornacek is still right there for ROY.


4. Brad Daugherty C 20 7'0'' 270 A- C- C- B A- B


Those points per game, rebounds and shooting percentages all look very good but doesn't provide any blocks and leads the league in TOs. I hope Soup allows him to play PG next preseason so we can see record breaking numbers.


5. Len Bias SF 21 6'8'' 230 B- B+ C A- B- B


Stats didn't move much. At this point he looks like a pure SF due to those low shot blocking numbers.


6. Dell Curry SG 21 6'4'' 190 C A- C B- C+ B


FG% declined but PPG continue to improve. He keeps his spot because those behind him didn't really improve.


7. Dennis Rodman SF 24 6'7'' 215 D+ D+ C- A+ A D


I love Rodman.  He's having a Kittenfish type season.


8. William Bedford C 22 7'0'' 240 B- D+ D+ B+ B B


He's ahead of Tarpley due to winning a coin toss. He may have more room to grow than Tarpley due to his low FT%.


9. Roy Tarpley PF 21 6'11'' 265 B C D+ B+ B A


I may have been too hard on Tarpley last time due to his FG%. His jumper looks maxed out due that FT% so I'm not sure if Taco should even put points into his offense. Don't want him taking anymore shots.


10. Drazen Petrovic SG 21 6'5'' 200 C+ B+ C B+ C A


Keeps falling because his FG% continues to get worse.

laughed out loud

3p% and handling grows like a weed for guards. not saying hornacek deserves ROY, and B potential is a little concerning, but he's already at 4:1 ast:tov and scoring with moderate volume. what i'm saying is i really really wish victorj24 had taken me up on my offer of 2000 bucks for horny.

also love rodman going forward. he's a defensive big who is only slightly below average in scoring efficiency and doesn't turn it over, that's a dynamite combination. maybe his potential hits the drop zone and he's gone in three years, or maybe he stays steady for fifteen. it's up to the software now.

[Druce]

love this.

[MistleTacoe]

Respect!

[Bankz]

No idea how Drazen is a super efficient scorer for 30 sim days... then he falls off a cliff

[SugarShaun]

I was looking over Benji's numbers earlier today, getting excited about his 3 point %. Glad for the update. Update is good.

If you look at 97 for 209, that's 46% right, but statistically it's 46% ± 7% because 2 * sqrt(97/209*(1-97/209)*209)/209 = 7%. Since then he's gone 164 for 444, that's 37% but ± 5%, so really they overlap: the measurements seem too far apart because 46% is good and 37% is terrible, but they are actually consistent because of the sample sizes involved, and his true talent level is somewhere from 39% to 42%. It's also possible you played harder competition in the latter period, or he just generally got worse looks.

Day 120 Top 10

1. Arvydas Sabonis C 22 7'3'' 285 B C C B+ B+ A

I agree with the software's choice for ROY. Blocks will probably never get past 1.5/2 so he'll need to raise that shooting percentage to be an elite big.


2. Benji Wilson SF 19 6'8'' 180 B B+ C+ B C A

Pretty good at everything. I hope for the league's sake he doesn't become a PG.


3. Jeff Hornacek PG 23 6'3'' 190 C+ A- B+ B- D+ B

He peaked around the all star break but still a very good season for Eric's version of Aaron Harrison.


4. Brad Daugherty C 20 7'0'' 270 A- C- C- B A- B


Curious to see how effective he is in a couple seasons once he has +16 put into his handles.


5. Len Bias SF 21 6'8'' 230 B- B+ C A- B- B


His rookie season was disappointing but I'm sure he'll end up being a stud with those grades.


6. Dennis Rodman SF 24 6'7'' 215 D+ D+ C- A+ A D

Third team all defense as a rookie and 1.2 blocks at SF. He and Russell should be the best defensive frontcourt in the league next season.


7. Roy Tarpley PF 21 6'11'' 265 B C D+ B+ B A

Tarpley raised his FG% for these last two sets of rankings so he deservedly went from unranked to #7.


8. Dell Curry SG 21 6'4'' 190 C A- C B- C+ B

He was okay, that 3P% is disappointing though.


9. Drazen Petrovic SG 21 6'5'' 200 C+ B+ C B+ C A


Season started with such promise but whimpered out. Like Bias, I'm sure he'll be good with those grades.


10. William Bedford C 22 7'0'' 240 B- D+ D+ B+ B B

Would love him if he didn't shoot as much. Shaun should root for -1 inside scoring in the next TC.

[SugarShaun]

Well done Fason, hope to see this continued next season

[gbgalla24]

I fucked up. I am still kicking myself for not taking Hornacek.
