He's been ownable for the majority of the season. punt builds lol? punt what, every category but blocks? how do you justify holding a player from 12/14 - 1/13 with the below averages? Oct/Nov - 4 Rebounds - 2 Blocks December - 3.8 Rebounds - 1.5 Blocks there were guys available with close to that block average with better stats all around...he literally sat out a month... but again, hes worth owning now, so if you did weather that storm, well done...but you really never had to becuase he could have been picked up recently Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who was available with that block potential because I was looking all year? because meetch never was (he only got dropped in my league because of the ankle sprain + desperation) Edited February 15, 2019 by WhatIsThisWizardry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who was available with that block potential because I was looking all year? because meetch never was (he only got dropped in my league because of the ankle sprain + desperation) Its debatable whether he was ownable much earlier. I had him for about a month dropped when he was not increasing playing time then he got injured for a bit and his ownership % got extremely low. I didn't need the blocks at the time so much that i was willingly to live with so many 4 pt 3 reb 2 block games. For a team that only wanted the blocks it could have made sense to hold him. I was lucky enough to get him back the first time he showed life again, im sure many others were not so lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He also was tanking ft% hard for a stretch that made me more happy about the drop but even that looks like he has improved and also managing to not take many per game. Anyway, the past is really irrelevant. Now we have the same blocking beast, well more with more mins actually, but with near double double average lines incoming to go with it and the mins/usage to rack up some nice steals as well 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taenggg 1,149 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Punting PTS/3s/FT is one of the best punt builds since you can pick up scrubs from the wire that will provide you value that other managers typically won't need. It's also a great strategy when you draft horribly. Pretty much my go to punt build these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are in the bye situation too or can tell it's very likely shortly before regular season is done then you can ignore the week 1 playoff schedule so a guy with a 2-4-4- schedule becomes an amazing playoff sched when normally he may have to be dropped during a close week 1. but i like that everyone has different approaches its what makes it fun. your strategy is also quite risky, going for just 5 cats, because losing 1 can be fatal. If you are very strong in 6 or 7, you can lose 1 or 2 that you normally win and still make it through. I have found more success this way anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never punt multiple categories but am interested in learning more about your strategy. So you're going big heavy and attempting to win FG, assists, steals, blocks, TO, and trying to win 5-4 every week? Seems like an odd combination that doesn't quite make sense to me, I'd like to know which players you heavily target in this build... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Running a similar build in one league without punting rebounds entirely; Joker, CP3, Draymond, Teague, Collison, Otto, Rob Cov, Grant, Iguodala, McGee, and Meetch. Started out as a points punt, picked up McGee & Meetch during the season to anchor FG% and blocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not bashing on you or anything so don't take it personal. I used to have the same mindset...well if I draft player xyz then I'm guaranteed to win FG etc every week. It's simply not true. There's too much variance in stats, injuries, etc. which is why I say nothing is guaranteed, and thus punting 3-4 cats off the bat = losing proposition imo. I think it's better to soft punt 2-3 cats, then make changes as the playoffs near to hard punt certain cats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it lessens your chance overall to make the playoffs, but if you do happen to sneak in you have a decent chance at winning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Padilla814 237 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I’d love to get on the M-Rob war wagon but not sure I can pay the price... I would have to drop J. Allen, JV, JJJ, or Sabonis and not sure I can do that. Good luck to all of his owners! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
