The HoopsKlyce Page: Fantasy Basketball Statistics 101 A typical fantasy basketball league has 12 teams with 10 starting For thefantasy basketball owner, it means it is easier to find a single player who http://www.hoopsklyce.com/archives/stats101.shtml
Extractions: F ANTASY B ASKETBALL S TATISTICS October 7, 1998 A typical fantasy basketball league has 12 teams with 10 starting players on each team. To get an idea of what the average stats for a player active on a starting fantasy roster would be I analyzed the statistics of the 120 players who averaged the most minutes played per game last season (hey ... what else are you going to do during The Lockout ... watch baseball? ... I don't think so!). The averages for 8 common statistical categories are shown in the table below. Also, to determine how the players stats were distributed above and below the averages I found the standard deviation of the 120 players for each stat category. A 'bell' shaped distribution would predict that 68% of the players would fall within one standard deviation of the average. Hang with me now ... the goal will be to determine who the fantasy basketball studs are ... not to put you to sleep! CATEGORY AVG PER GAME STND DEV STND DEV/AVG Points Rebounds Assists Steals Blocks Treys Free Throws FG% In the same manner the fantasy stiffs can be identified. Calbert Cheany and Joe Smith managed to be in the top 120 in minutes played per game but were below average in all 8 of the categories investigated. By the way OnHoops.com readers, LJ was below average in 6 of the 8 categories! That's kind of stiff too.

Extractions: Rating the New Basketball Cards By Dick Hunt The newest set of Strat-O-Matic basketball cards has arrived! The first thing I noticed at a glance was that there were more 2-12 free throw shooters than there usually are. Most of those had very few attempts, of course, thanks to the short schedule, but perfection is perfection! The second thing that stood out was the durability everyone seemed to display. With fewer games to endure, players had a lot fewer injury problems. I wonder if the NBA will take that as a sign? Nahhhh, probably not... ATLANTA (31-19): Mookie Blaylock got a 1 shooting rating and a decent shooting card, especially when you consider his lousy 37.9 field goal percentage. Steve Smith makes up for it, drawing fouls very well. He also has a 2-9,12 free throw shooting rating to back it up. Grant Long was a nice surprise, getting a good card for the first time in years. Like Smith, Long could make a living on his ability to draw fouls. However, if you have Grant Long on your draft team, now would be an excellent time to deal him. Sucker someone into taking his good 1998-99 card and ignoring the rest of his mediocre career.
