Draft Day Nuggets & Notes

It is now the time to go into your basketball draft and you need a nugget bad. Having done your ratings, you find that it is not a Denver Nugget you need because they are going to be one of the worst teams in basketball this year, and you know the old saying: "Never draft the best player on a bad team." Actually, that is not necessarily true. As a matter of fact, I shall debunk some old sayings in this article while giving you some "nuggets" and some guys to stay away from. The league I am in is called the Scott Skiles Memorial No Picnic League. After having been in a Rotisserie Baseball league for years where the guys would "have a cow" and want to throw out players who missed the picnic, a few of us basketball fans started our league and decided we wouldn't have any picnics. In our inaugural year, I did all the stats by hand myself. That was a horrible job. I also picked up Scott Skiles the week before he got 31 assists in one game, which pushed me to the top and allowed me to win the first championship of our seven year existence. Several owners did feel that my doing the stats might have been a contributing factor. (How could I have Skiles and Blaylock and do so well in FG%?) So the next year, as the self-appointed lifetime commissioner, I switched us to have Express Stats prepare our weekly reports. I had used them for baseball also, and found Rich's service to be the best I could imagine. Now, I have won the league 2 more times and also finished second once, so maybe it wasn't all due to my stat-keeping. But the Skiles pick up was so much luck (they thought!) that the name just evolved. But every year there is a "Scott Skiles" just waiting to be picked up out of the trash can of the NBA. You just have to know where to look, and how to find him. I will try to assist you in that endeavor.

Our basketball league uses 8 categories: Total points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, 3-point baskets made, FG% and FT%. Six cumulative and 2 percentage. Some leagues use free throws made rather than percentage, but we felt that was a very redundant category, and it seems more fair to punish Shaq for missing so many than to reward him again for making a few when he takes so many (he already gains in total points when he makes a free throw). Some leagues also use additional categories like turnovers, offensive rebounds and even personal fouls, but I will stick to the main 8 when analyzing a player.

So how about some of those "old sayings"? Well, one of my fellow league members, The Coyote,seems to have invented a bunch of "wise old rules of thumb". I don't believe in them (he has only won the league twice), but they are worth considering.

Never Draft the Best Player on a Bad Team:

This, of course, is nonsense. While our top picks every year are off the best teams (Jordan, Shaq, Malone, Hakeem & the Admiral), some outstanding stats can come from a great player on a bad team. Actually, the Coyote was mainly talking about the pathetic Clippers. Not drafting a Clipper is usually a good idea. Well, at least until you get into the late rounds where it is time to grab anyone that might play 2,000 minutes during the season. Two outstanding examples of this arcane philosophy are one new player and one old(er) player: Antoine Walker and Latrell Sprewell. In Boston, a horrific team with nearly no player with any rotisserie value, Walker stands out as a force. He can rebound, score, pass, well, he can do pretty much everything except have good percentages. And he has to have the stats. That team will revolve around him and he will be a top 15 pick player minimum at the end of the year. Take him early and enjoy. As for Latrell, well, what else can be said that his stats from last year don't already say. OK, he is a head case with a bad attitude ready to go into a funk over anything. But be aware that he is capable of putting up stats that compete with anyone (yes, even the king, Mr. Jordan).

No Old Guys:

Never Draft an Outside Shooter Who Lost His Big Center:

Go Big/Small on Your First Two Picks:

Beware of Players Changing Teams:

Big Step-Up's (the "Kevin Garnett" status) for: Antoine Walker, Michael Finley, Wesley Person (an exception to the {"Changing Teams" rule), Eric Williams (ditto).

Big Improvement's (the "Doug Christie" status" for: John Wallace, Toronto, Walter McCarty, Boston, Bobby Sura, Cleveland.

Huge Drop's (the "Allan Houston" status) for: Cliff Robinson, Rick Fox, Kendall Gill.
