As you can see I have been quite busy this week, but things are churning along I promise. I have a half day at work today (Labor Day…) but I’ll be dropping SLN and NDL sims and a whole slew of draft profiles (and some draft information for the drafts to come) this evening. But of course let’s get...
Tanking
1. No Inside Offense.
2. Nav Rule (You must sign appropriate players to fill positions on your DC)
3. Start your best players and maintain reasonable option choices. There is room for experimentation at my discretion. No...
Piggy backing off my last article, i wanted to open this PER metric up to more SLN seasons to see how many times a player has reached Superstardom, and which teams have owned the most superstars in recent years.
This analysis only accounts for players in the current file so anyone...
I got somewhat bored, and mostly annoyed that JWoo's list spans 4 articles and has zero summary data. So why not make my own. Plus now we have clear position rankings to fight over and can look at his biases as well as overperformance and underperformance of teams.
Jwoo’s recent player rankings got me thinking about a metric to measure the efficiency of players across the league, leading me to my PER (Player Efficiency Rating) formula that rewards scoring and defensive contributions, while also integrating shooting efficiencies (FG%, FT%, 3P%), all...
I'm working on a rolling Team Ratings Index (it will take a while) but figured in the meantime that to develop this file, I'd need to estimate home-court advantage. Of course, if you play in the Swamp starting in 2026, your dreams go to die, but it's helpful to capture the overall...
Jwoo once took it upon himself to raise NDL AWARENESS in article form. Turns out he just collected an RP check and never did it again. Don’t worry, Merv is here to pick up the slack!
Behold, the first installment of my totally arbitrary but very thoughtful analysis of the top prospects in the NDL...
Thought it'd be fun to start a repository of SLN Sporcles - depending on if this is deemed worthy of RP may make more of these kinds of quizzes but feel like this will be a fun one to start!
In total 10 teams have used their MLE this season. Might do further research on if that number is low or not but now is not that time. Inspired by Wes having to defend Skal not getting extended last season, i decided to give some teams a friendly reminder.
We are all addicted to sims. A few weeks ago while collectively jonesing for a sim, a fellow SLNer inspired me to answer the question: When can we expect the Sim God to sim?
To do this, I collected all the dates and times of the Sim God's sim posts on the new boards...
It’s the start of the 2025 season and there were some big TCs across the league. Taking a deeper look to see who saw gains and who saw losses, as well as how those changes stacked up across player positions, ages, etc.
First a note on the data: when I refer to “TCΔ”, I count a letter grade move as...
THAT BIGGER CONFERENCE ROOM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR — Britt Daniel knows what you're thinking. Why would the lead singer of Spoon (and the lesser-known Divine Fits, and the lesser-known-than-that Coy Boy Revue) concede life as a decorated rockstar to co-manage some simulated basketball team?
Happy MDW and sorry for the delay, was traveling the last two days and these articles take a long ass time to write. After multiple flights of typing on my phone and a couple more days of sifting through stats, behold, the 50-26 part of this article series.
Greetings leaguemates. I got a lot of good feedback on yesterday's article which was awesome to hear, glad people are enjoying this. I have been plugging away on the rest of the list and am trying to drop one of these per day, but am heading on a work trip next few days so we'll see how well I can...
Congrats gang, we made it to Season 30. I wanted to take on a big project to commemorate that (and help bankroll some camps, but mostly to commemorate) and it's been like eight seasons somehow since I last attempted to rank the best players in the league. SO: here I am, ranking the best players in...
TL; DR: More free RP for a quick post! Prob wait til after FA to fill it out but up to you.
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...
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...
Boys this one is going to be slow. I hardly slept since I hurt my Knecht. Cut me some clack. My brain isn't working, I cant Ajinca. (Will come off Rudy or Gay. DEAL WITH IT)
#1 SwampNets Select: Cooper “The Hooper” Flagg
The Swamp lands “can’t miss” white boy Cooper Flagg with the first overall...

Strengths: Crafty finisher at the basket. Good jump shot and range. Very good vision. Solid handles. Should get a steal or so. Good rebounder. Solid quickness and strength.
Weaknesses: Positional defense is so-so.
Scout's Take: Jan is an interesting wing prospect that provides...
