Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “rest of season rankings” thing for fantasy basketball, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I started by, you know, just kind of looking at what all the big-shot analysts were saying.
I mean I went ahead and looked at over a hundred different expert rankings. I combined their rankings into one big list. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! Everyone’s got their own opinions. Then it hit me, why not just average them out? That way, I’d get a sort of “consensus” ranking. So, I got to work, and got the average ranking for each player, from all of these different sources.
Then, I thought, “Hey, why not go further?” So I started comparing these consensus rankings to my own gut feelings. I went into my own team and looked at each player. Then I thought about the rest of the season. I looked at their past performances, their potential, and whether they’re injury-prone. I even considered their team’s schedule and how that might affect their stats.
- Checked out a bunch of expert rankings.
- Averaged them out to get a “consensus.”
- Compared those to my own thoughts and player analysis.
- Looked at things like past performance, potential, and team schedule.
After that, I started creating my own ranking. I moved players up and down based on all this stuff. I also created a list of players to watch out for on the waiver wire. I updated my list every week. It’s a grind, but it’s worth it.
I also joined some online communities. I shared my rankings and got feedback from other players. Some of them agreed with me, others didn’t. But it was all good, it helped me refine my rankings even further. I argued, debated, and sometimes even changed my mind based on what others were saying.
So yeah, that’s basically what I’ve been up to. It’s not rocket science, but it definitely takes time and effort. But you know what? It’s actually pretty fun, and it makes watching the games even more exciting. Plus, I’m totally crushing it in my league right now, so that’s a bonus! It made me feel like I was really understanding the game, and not just relying on luck. It also made watching the games way more fun. I was more invested in each player’s performance, and I had a better sense of what to expect from each game.
Key Takeaways
- It’s a process: Don’t expect to get it perfect right away.
- Do your research: Look at different sources and form your own opinions.
- Trust your gut: But also be willing to adjust based on new information.
- Have fun: It’s just a game, after all!
Hope this helps you on your fantasy basketball journey. Go get ’em!
