WSO Fantasy Basketball League

Calling any and all basketball nuts. I'm interested in making a 10 man fantasy league with only 1 bench spot so micro-management won't be necessary.

Comment below if you're interested and I'll make a league if we get enough people.

On another note, I'm calling all experts here to rate my first ever fantasy basketball team. The league is H2H points. Here are the metrics for points:

Points (PTS) 1 Blocks (BLK) 1
Steals (STL) 1 Assists (AST) 1
Rebounds (REB) 1 Turnovers (TO) -1
Field Goals Made (FGM) 1 Field Goals Attempted (FGA) -1
Free Throws Made (FTM) 1 Free Throws Attempted (FTA) -1

My team:
PG: Lillard
SG: Wiggins
SF: Ariza
PF: Love
C: Cousins
G: I. Thomas
F: G. Monroe
UTIL: D. Jordan
UTIL: Rubio
UTIL: Embiid
Bench: J.R. Smith
Bench: E. Payton
Bench: J. Clarkson

never played before but I'd be down. Is that standard scoring? I guess the +/- for made/attempts keeps it so you get as many pts as the bucket (1,2, or 3) but lose a point for missed shots?

Kind of standard scoring I believe, but take my word with a grain of salt considering it's my first league.

I know a lot of leagues take points for double doubles. I just checked ESPN for standard scoring and this is what they had: Points (PTS) Rebounds (REB) Assists (AST) Blocks (BLK) Steals (STL) Field Goal Percentage (FG%) Free Throw Percentage (FT%) Three Pointers Made (3PM)

Is there some platform you want to run this on or just via WSO with an excel?

ESPN definitely although I'm pretty sure tonight is the last night to start a league. To the other guys interested, would you all be down to draft tonight perhaps? It's probably pushing it but I may be able to get a couple of friends so we could have an 8 man league

I'm down. The last time I was in a league it was a standard snake draft, but the auction definitely sounds a bit more strategic

For real? I thought that a "normal" draft would work better...

So that's what? 5/10 secured?

Yea 5/10, like I said I can probably get a friend or 2 if necessary. If you guys want to invite any friends that's cool too.

As far as $ or no $, I was definitely thinking no $.

What do you mean by "normal" draft?

Just round based, like the normal NBA draft, i.e. no bidding on players.

I got 2 friends in on this (maybe another one if need be), that leaves at 7/10 at the moment.

One more and we've got a solid league on our hands. What day/time frame works best for everyone over the weekend. Keep in mind the draft will probably take ~1.5-2 hours.

I assume we all have to be online at the same time, so I would suggest 5pm EST on either Sat or Sun

Draft begins approx two hours from now! I'm creating a whatsapp group for the league, shoot me your number and I'll add you. If you have a problem with that let me know and I will create a groupme or something like that.

Here are my two favorite resources of fantasy wisdom: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybball/ http://forums.rotoworld.com/forum/6-fantasy-basketball-talk/

Keep in mind that the league's scoring format is Head to Head Points, if you don't know what that is then make sure you find out, ask me here if you need clarification.
