Scored 670. Decent start but not fantastic. Given Quickley's injury, i think i'm pretty content with how i went.

Tempted to do the following

Giannis, Edwards, Quickley & Giddey > Jokic, Wemby, Braun & D.Daniels

Leaves me just about $4M in the bank though. I could get someone like J.Ivey instead of Braun. I might ponder that one. Not ideal playing Risacher but he has 4 games and if he can put up numbers like he did in his most recent game he will prove worthy of that starting spot.

An update for 9 of my 10 leagues (all SCS members in them)

A rough start for many, but lots of different strategies in place that will sort themselves out over the next couple of rounds:

- not going to calculate overall league positions until later on as it takes a fair bit of number crunching ...
- so will just give a league size category ranking for now ...

Keep an eye on "Hunter" as that was who "Risacher" got the start for ...

656 for me.

Cunningham - Solid, happy with him.
Scoot - Poor last game but made the BE, not terrible.
Mitchell - Good enough to keep, could easily outscore the other options.

Quickley - Will trade, can't trust he plays or is fully fit if he does.
Daniels - Probably my top pick despite the bad final game.
**** - Did the job.

Edey - Underwhelming but making cash, will get off the court though.
Walker - Made a bit of cash, will move on for someone playing a lot more.

Tatum - Rock solid.
Jal Johnson - Awful week, will move on and he probably goes boom (was the story last year everytime I jumped on or off him...)
Agbaji - My other best pick, hopefully gets another week of starting to cash gen.

Giannis - Underwhelming but not terrible. Watching the other two names I looked at in Chet and Davis both whack him does hurt though! SGA also was the other captain option I strongly considered.
Banchero - Stinker of a last game kind of undercut a good start but solid enough overall.
Risacher - Terrible first two games but a nice scramble in last game to be on path at least. No point trading.

Trade plans are Giannis, Quickley, Johnson and Walker out. Tossing up between 2 of Wemby, Sabonis and Jokic, I like Jokic the most but worst schedule hurts, Will probably grab Braun and Champagnie for the other spots but will do some analysis tonight and make sure they're the go.

Will double check, could be a case to chase more cash gen and sacrifice a few points, reckon it's going to be rough all year so probably some compounding returns by getting a cash lead on the pack as opposed to last year where the points were more important as the cash was never going to cause issues.

I'm looking at Hawkins as an option for that Champagnie spot ...

- also weighing up going for instant cash generation over a few points early on ... will weigh it up tonight ..

Thanks for that. Im tempted to play Sarr instead even if he only plays 3 games :/

I have gone with J.Ivey over Braun. I just trust him a fair bit more and Detroit have a good run with 4 games for each of the next 3 rounds.

I scored 658, ok not great. Tatum C.

Can’t get to Jokic or Donic without exposing more rookies.

Thinking Ant, Barnes, Scoot to Wemby, Young, Braun. Leaves:

Young, Morant
Mitchell, Cade
Wemby
Braun ****
Tatum, Risacher

That SF line 😧

Keep an eye on Morant ... apparently he is carrying a niggle ...

Yea just reading now. Can’t tell if a niggle or “ramping into season”?

I’ve just done a version where I keep Scoot and bring in DDR in SF instead of Braun. Quite like it.

I get what you mean ...

All week I planned on trading out Pritchard ...
- but in the back of my mind is that if he can play like Herro did off the bench then I should trust my gut on why I picked him ...
- get more involved (assists etc) and not just bang away randomly from the arc (take better shots etc) ...

I'm feeling nervous keeping him but my only other options are to play Black or Knecht on field .... and I think he has the higher ceiling ...
- If I had a 5th trade he would be gone ...

Got lots of other trade options but want all the 4 players that I'm bringing in ...
