📢 Dynasty Category Ranks updated for the New Year:
- Dynasty Ranks 500+ (cats)
As always thank you for all your support.
Other ranking updates coming soon.
Here is my first attempt at making a variable dynasty draft board.
The goal is to show how I would draft as a Contending, Retooling or Rebuilding Dynasty team.
Very tricky to get this right, so please do let me know who you would change.

🔍 Intrigued by the

discourse, I delved deeper into popular player comparisons.
⬇️ Dive into the thread for overall weighted comparisons.
Evaluating a player's overall trajectory requires a more comprehensive approach. Sharing this to encourage further analysis.
Trade Secrets in Dynasty leagues:
It's all about the win-win!
Don't dominate trades, create mutually beneficial deals that make everyone feel like a winner.
Find teams with different goals, spark collaboration, and keep the league dynamic and competitive!
Im buying Paul Reed stock.
Still only 24, going pick 200+ in startup mocks.
Embiids Sixers future beyond next year is getting cloudy.
"He (Nurse) talked about molding me into a Pascal Siakam-type player. Somebody who can kind of do it all. Shoot the ball, drive, pass..."

Here is my updated Fantasy Board for the 2024 Draft.
It is fairly different from other boards I've seen, but is the process of consistently updating values over the season.
For the masochists amongst you, heres my too early 2024 Board.
This is something I'll keep running in the background that I thought I'd share so we can revisit later.

GG Jackson is not just a run and gun high volume shooter.
GG is doing a lot of things I did not expect to see at his age, he is in for a bright future.
In Dynasty league's he will likely be a tough hold next season, I think the payout will be worth it for young rosters.
Taking a look at GG Jackson's most positive/scalable traits through the first part of his rookie season (small sample size)
- Secondary Rim Protection
- Three-Point Shooting
- Free Throw Rate on Drives
- Role as a P&R Roll Man
Great content, engaging the Dynasty community 🔥!
My Dynasty Formula takes into account:
Predicted stats, age, efficiency, expected playing time & games missed.
Unfortunately for some players, like Cade and Chet, missed games early in their career can really hurt their ranking.
Thank you for the great discussion on my variable board.
Based on the thoughts expressed, I have created an additional board that is a weighted combination of the variable rankings to create a "BPA" board.
Likely one of my last 2023 boards.

📢 Redraft Rankings Update:
My category Rankings are moving to a new Multi Z-Score System.
Introducing a new tier of Positional Z-Scores, calculated within each specific player position to give a more accurate and fair comparison of player strengths.
By pairing Anthony Edwards (8) with the well-rounded Jalen Williams (33), I don't lock myself into any punt builds, or strict timelines early on.
Both 22, versatile and a strong start in steals.
Allowing me to freely pick the best players available in the high value early rounds
Dynasty rankings now have been Dynasty Z-Scores.
This is the next step on positional scores, by adding age groups we can now compare how players in each age group (rookie, young, emerging, prime, veteran) and positions stack up against each other.
🔍 Trying to figure out your fantasy team's dynasty stage?
I created this flow chart to help you determine where your team stands and guide your next moves.

Salary Dynasty Leagues its your turn for some love!
Dynasty Salary ranks have been released.
Tag your League mates and let me know how these can best be improved.
With many competing successful builds, Salary Leagues are perhaps the hardest to rank for.
How I have my current dynasty trade value for 2024 picks.
Pick 1-3 = Top 85 Dynasty Value.
Pick 4-7 = Top 150 Dynasty Value.
These will likely gain value as we progress.
For reference I have 11 of the 2023 rookies in the top 100 and Pick 1 for 2025 at Top 25 Dynasty Value.
Now that my new website is up I have some more time to get some regular content out!
Thought I'd go through my round 1 picks in all formats.
At pick 1 we have two pretty straight forward picks. Although let's be real, it's hard to argue against picking Jokic first in any format!
Some Big Movers:
Improved:
+235 Craig Porter Jr
+169 Trayce Jackson-Davis
+121 Cam Thomas
+84 Jalen Johnson
+70 Podziemski
Dropped:
-57 Christian Wood
-45 Jalen Hood-Schifino
-27 Andrew Wiggins
-24 Markelle Fultz
By ensuring that both sides feel like they are benefiting from a trade, you foster trust, collaboration, and active participation among members. This approach encourages more trades, enhances the competitiveness, and creates a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Another day of picks, picking Franz Wagner (
#53
) and Mark Williams (
#68
).
A starting core of Ant, Jdub, Franz & Mark still leaves me pretty free to explore with my later picks.
All young, but already strong contributors.
Weaker categories developing so far FT%, 3P and BLK.
To assess the significance of each category in player comparisons and career trajectory predictions, I've assigned weights to them.
Remember, these weightings are subjective and can be tweaked.

A very interesting Dynasty rookie. Not as young as you might first think at 23, but honestly that shouldn't effect your outlook in the slightest.
Should be rostered in all Dynasty leagues, was likely available on many waiver wires.
PSA: Dont drop Tillman....
Two terrible ganes in a row can drive you mad I know, he's not a drop.
Foul trouble and small ball minutes this game, he will be better.
@redrock_bball
Agree and its also not a flat case of higher roster size = better.
When your setting up a league consider what you and your league mates want and how active they will be with trades.
250 - Encourages more FA and Waiver action
350 - Encourages more Stashing and Trades
I might be the only one that prefers this setup for Derrick Whites Fantasy Value...
Primary back up to Brown and Jrue with very little behind White. More minutes with a now very low usage Celtics Bench. Overall minutes likely very similar to last year.
🔍 Following from Scoots player comparisons, let's explore
#BrandonMiller
.
Check out the thread for overall weighted comparisons.
Finding a close match for Miller's measurements proved challenging. So Please do share other players who might closely resemble Millers measurements.
With Furkan coming off the bench before Paul Reed gets a sniff I think we can all but confirm the trade has done nothing for Reeds redraft value.
Still an interesting Dynasty flyer.
Here's my "pre-NBA draft" Dynasty Board (Lottery)!
Things are definitely gonna shake up once we know which team each player is on. This is just my own take on each player's talent, upside, and fantasy potential.

Day 7.
Mark williams had a rough outing against the absolute on fire Duren last game.
Hoping to see a bounce back and positive performance against the Claxtonless Nets.
Scoot Henderson last 5 games:
18.6 PPG
10.4 APG
42/36/80%
The first rookie to have back to back games with 18+ PTS and 12+ AST since John Wall in 2011.
#AnferneeSimons
' improvements last season have flown relatively under the radar
One aspect that stands out to me is his shift in shot selection.
@AnferneeSimons
' +91% increase in FGA at the rim compared to +31% total FGA, shows an improved shot diet

Day 10.
Let's watch the other Spurs Star in the making, Devin Vassell.
The Shot has come and gone so far this year, but the volume is very promising.
An incredibly impressive "superstar" stretch to close the last game in PHX. Lets hope he can keep that form to start this game.
To follow-up our Scoot and Miller comparisons, let's dive into the fascinating Wembanyama.
Wembanyama's exceptional measurements and standout stat profile set him apart, resulting in much weaker comparisons.

@DBCJason
Great point, ideally you'd hit the BPA, and your league values the player the same to get you where you want to be via trades.
I suppose if Im rebuilding I'm more willing to take a swing and sit on a high upside player that might have 0 short term fantasy or league value.
As we exit the regular season and enter the playoffs, its time to teardown all my formulas and rankings and rebuild for next season.
Any suggestions for things you wish my rankings had are welcome.
The next lot of dynasty updates will be refreshed in many ways.
LaMelo gets extra injury scrutiny because he has a brother in the league?
I perfectly understand a level of hesitancy due to last season, but Lonzo having knee cartilage issues is a non factor to LaMelos ankle/wrist injuries to me.
Let's take a look at the player comparisons for Amen Thompson.
I have introduced TS% and AST/USG% and re-weighted some categories accordingly.
⬇️ Check out the thread for a detailed analysis of the overall weighted comparisons.

Early round pairings are not as important as you might feel, but here are some 1+2 round Combo trends I am seeing:
Giannis + Sabonis
Halliburton + Mikal
Davis + Trae
Ball + Booker
Staying in Memphis, I do think Ziaire has earned a shot at the 5th starter.
However, note that Konchar was not out of the rotation but instead away from the team due to personal reasons.
So don't be surprised if Konchar wins that spot back.
Day 1.
Eubanks is on my radar today.
What's the split with Nurkic?
How do lineups look with Nurkic vs with Eubanks?
Eubanks could have a lot of late season value. Im interested in gauging the possibility.
@redrock_bball
The one thing I'll add, and I don't know if you agree..
I dont think Memphis will be in Albany sort of a rush to add a big.
Yes, I think they will at some point during the season, but I expect them to try what they have first and see what other options open up.
"He's Super Young"
How often have you heard this draft analysis?
What does it actually mean for the progress of a prospect?
With 1-2 possible lottery picks this year under 19, I thought I'd have a little look back.

@DBCJason
I'd say don't over react but you also cant ignore the performances completely.
George's game at this slimmed down weight and on a healthy ankle is noticeably different to what he showed at Baylor.
Been exploring how players affect winning in a 9-category week.
Did you know there are 56 winning combinations if you focus on winning only 5 categories and ignore turnovers?
However, not all of these category strength combinations are common.
Day 12.
Another star who needs to find his groove, LaMelo Ball.
Hornets vs Pacers is going to be a fast paced game. Will be plenty of shots on the table for LaMelo, but quantity has not been the issue.
Let's watch the quality of LaMelos shots today.
More Trade Secrets!
How to sell high. Wether its redraft or Dynasty, mastering the sell high is an essential trade skill.
When? The best point to sell high is when the performance starts to feel real, you start thinking hold on, maybe this is lasts forever...

Day 8.
Let's watch Suggs.
Last 2 games Suggs is averaging 13pts 6.5rebs, 2.5stls, 1blk.
The defence from the end of last season has returned in a big way, and there are signs he is putting things together.
The results of this poll help demonstrate the fluidity in dynasty "value".
Compare this to the "consensus" analyst's rankings (via
@NBADynastyADP
) :
Bufkin > Sensabaugh > TJD > GG
Is either right or wrong? No.
Dynasty success demands both adaptability and conviction.
How many players would you guess are better than average in 5 or more Categories?
My Rankings return only 10:
Jokic, Doncic, Embiid, Tatum, Halibuton, Ball, Harden, Giannis, J.Murray, VanVleet.
Going to be delving more into how certain combinations help more than others.

“Will he play with Embiid? For sure. Like I don’t think that that’s a question…He’s gonna be probably doing more than he’s done before.”
Out the Mud 😤
I was not expecting an extension to be honest. Looked like a good opportunity for Deni to test free agency.
Good move by WAS, however it does not indicate that he is a key piece.
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija has agreed on a four-year, $55 million contract extension, his agent Doug Neustadt and Matan Siman-Tov tell ESPN.

#NBADraft
During summer league it was clear Keyonte could find a role in Utah as a starting PG very early on.
Well, it's becoming very clear to me that Sensabaugh will be Utah's starting SG before seasons end.
AD Backup minutes to go around:
Vanderbilt 24-26
Hayes 14-16
Castleton 8-10
I expect Castleton to be the biggest minutes loser, but Hayes/Vanderbilt will likely lose a few also.
LAL can comfortably get Wood to about 18-20 minutes from these three players
Interesting to see "Ron Holland has no.1 Pick potential" gaining traction today...
I very much see it IRL and Fantasy, and will go into more detail soon on why.
Here is my updated Fantasy Board for the 2024 Draft.
It is fairly different from other boards I've seen, but is the process of consistently updating values over the season.
If I was inclined to move anyone on my board after day one Summer League.
It would be Keyonte George up.
Really like what I am seeing from George, lead guard potential on a team that needs that role.
These 2 plays stand out from Keyonte George's NBA debut at Utah SL last night
Awesome defensive jump & steal with a fastbreak finish and then a WICKED thread the needle dime.
18 pts/5 reb/4 ast/3 stl
You should have bought stock ages ago📈
Enter Drew Eubanks into Redraftlast round Sleeper picks.
Ayton-Drew split might of been 30-18 Nurkic-Drew split can push to 26-22 (+Nurkic injury risk)
Eubanks:
99%tile points saved at the rim
85%tile Offensive Rebounding
75% Finishing at the rim
71%tile Roll man last year
Southwest dynasty team roster rankings exercise complete! Heres the top 8.
I am trialling an updated formula to weigh injuries less, which bumped JJJ over Ja. 3 Memphis players make the list, Ingram just misses.
Stay tuned for the Southeast.

I must say I quite like Suggs in Orlandos starting 5.
100% effort, extra playmaking option, his shots looking better, and the man is adequately defending Zion on some sets!
Devin Vassell led the league in three-point percentage this preseason, and he looked like an elite marksman.
He won’t shoot 57.7% from beyond the arc, but the immense volume and shot versatility are the real deal.
