Please rate my ESPN NBA Fantasy team from 1-10 (7 or higher is good).

[JJ_PR]

How was my ESPN fantasy basketball salary cap draft? Please rate my team from 1-10, 7 or higher is good. Thinking about trading Tre Jones for a Center. I thought players could be listed in multiple positions.

Thanks for taking your time to rate my team. Appreciate everyone's feedback.

Do you think I can win the championship with that roster?

Format is Head to Head Points. 10 teams in total.

Impossible to tell without knowing the scoring system for the league.

For example Westbrook sucks but would do well under some fantasy scoring systems.

I actually hate that about fantasy…

You have to pay more attention day to day with back to backs and players resting. A good, well rounded team H2H in a weekly format with an owner who adjusts the lineups every day can usually beat a better team where the owner sticks with the top 5 or 6 guys.

That's a wonky-ass scoring system. I love it!

I always played head to head categories (so 11 categories, Points, FT (made), FT %, FG %, 3pt made, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, fouls.

You'd go 6-5, 7-4, etc in a given weekly matchup. It was super fun, but, as you said, it takes daily monitoring.

This penalizes you for shooting under 50% on 2s or under 33% on 3s, I like it. But the treatment of free throws is weird - it seems like if you shoot under 100% on free throws then it’s bad to get FTs? Like if you went 9-10 on free throws would that give you -1 point on net (9 points for making 9 FTs minus 10 points for 10 FTAs)? Or am I reading it wrong?

If you hit a free throw, it gives you 1 point. If you miss a free throw, you lose a point. So if you go 9-10, it's 9 points.

Sounds like it should read “missed FTs” and not attempted FTs

It is fun for a lot of reasons. I recommend you give it a try if you have free time.
