Bigs
Abraham Joum Maker Bol - Good shooting stretch big. Solid shot-blocker with good post defense. Slightly above average rebounder. Handles are so-so. Needs to hit the weights.
Sam Funches - Decent scorer inside and outside. Might get close to a steal and block a game. Serviceable post...
Hola señores. Back with another season of team stats visualizations
here are my findings!
Rockets delta chart looks real nice. leading league in differentials for points per game, rebounds and assists. Rockets defense was stellar, holdings opponents to fewest FG and FGA in the league. Wild to be...
Reminder from the last time we did this: I feel like this stat has been less relevant than it was in other leagues - like SLOR - because Ashes has created such a great landscape of bigs that we don't have the homogenized Def/Reb group on every team....
One of the best under-the-radar drafts that weve seen. A ton of subjectivity and sleepers developed into real deal players in the league. Lets take a look at this bizzarro world redraft:
1. Original Pick – Washington Bullets Select Chris Paul (PG) – I think, blessed with the gift of hindsight,...
Finally have some time so here I present you with a More Detailed Than Usual mock draft. This is a sort fun class in the sense that it will be really hard to predict after the first few names — it's a really flat draft I think — so while this draft sucked IRL I do think there are nice value...
What up everyone — trying to chip in some interesting content during this current drought of reading material and decided to delve into the league records and see what we find. (I found that several records are currently in the mix to be broken!)
Every year, every GM's got his studs and it's duds, his craftiest moves and most embarrassing flops. For 75RPs, fill out the answers to the following questions and post it in the thread - think of these as your...
TL; DR: More free RP for a quick post! Prob wait til after FA to fill it out.
In addition to Team Awards, GMs can earn a quick and dirty 125RP by replying in this thread and filling out the below questionnaire - not required, but why not? Copy down the questions in a reply post and fill 'em out....
Kings Sign PF Pau Gasol for $131,250,000 over 6 years
Grade: B-
Pau was going to get a ton of money from someone. Right now, he’s both an efficient volume scorer and a classic big butt. As soon as one of those things stops being true, he’ll no longer be a value. I think Jesse or whoever winds...
A big kahuna! Last year was Pau’s best in a few years; the man looks like he has some juice left. I am probably more skeptical of him as a long term signing than most, but who doesn’t want an efficient 20 and 12 with positive stocks from their big? Pau looks likely to...
Exclusive to the Chicago Son Times, Cook County’s leading publication for well-behaved boys, allowance receivers and dads that cry hearing the Cat Stephens song about mermaid boobies.
I am about to burn through RP like Heath Ledger's Joker trying to develop all these young guys so I'm here to maximize my content output and preview everyone's favorite thing, free agency.
Gonna go team by team and do a quick little breakdown of what's going on.
Reminder from the last time we did this: I feel like this stat has been less relevant than it was in other leagues - like SLOR - because Ashes has created such a great landscape of bigs that we don't have the homogenized Def/Reb group on every team....
In 2024 movie sequels may not be as dominant as they once were, but in 2011 they absolutely owned the box office. I chose a character from the top 5 grossing movies worldwide in 2011 and created an SLN draft profile for them.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Cutting it a little close with the Big Board this year, sorry. In recent weeks I have been asked by my bosses to “do your job” and “spend less time on your weird little 4chan site on your phone, everyone can see you staring at it in client...
1. Anthony Davis - B C+ C B B-
Words like “stock monster” “Very good post defender and defensive rebounder” Have me salivating. His solid B IS is eye-catching. He's 19 years old and is already going to be Tim Duncan/Howard as a floor it seems. His only...
It's your boy Ricky. I write to you from mi nuevo casa in Toronto, Canada where I have recently been introduced to a new up and coming artist. I met this hombre se llama Aubrey the other night at una fiesta muy chevere at Emeka Okafor's house. Emeka is my richest and...
#1 Grizzlies v #8 Rockets
Season Series: 4-0 Grizzlies
Point Diff: +11 / -0.7
The Grizzlies are among the top teams in the league in basically every statistical category, no matter how you slice it, whereas the Rockets have been pretty close to league average. Eddy Curry or Shaun...
Here are the team stats in anticipation of the playoffs.
Some interesting findings!
Blazers leading the league in rebounds per game at 61.1, but rebounding delta goes to the 76ers who are outrebounding opponents by 5.8
76ers also leading league in FG differential
Grizzlies have a pretty bad...
Lots of stuff here! lots of graphs so think just linking to the google doc is easier.
I have all the data through 2010 in two CSVs (one for player data and one for team data) so if anyone is interested in expanding on this lemme know and i can shoot over the data! Also, it's super easy for me...
A couple days ago the internet was obsessed with the silly gossip that Chris Paul wasn't traded to the Heat because he didn't want to change his number. Without player numbers, this reality TV nonsense cannot play out in SLN.
While we don't have player numbers in SLN, we do have player IDs. You...
Now that we are coming up on the end of the season and just ahead of the trade deadline, thought I would do a league wide regression correlation test on all team statistics FBB tracks and we have access to.
All correlation is to Win % as of sim 90 for the 2011 season:
Here is my first go at the 2012 Draft, not the best but I wonder if there are some hidden gems in here
Draft File:
Draft Notes:
1.New Jersey Nets – (7-40)
Other 2012 FRP(s): DEN, SEA, POR
Needs: Wings, Frontcourt
The Pick: Anthony “The Brow” Davis – PF/C – Kentucky
Analysis: Perennial sadness...

Will listen to offers for No. 3 — particularly if it's an immediate move for a stud that makes sense with my group. I now have Tyler Herro's contract and some movable expirings, so have some flexibility to construct a deal.
While you're here I also have the 16th pick (WAS FRP) that I'm open to...
