Wow I knew my FT% was low but I didn't realise it was that low...To be honest in the past I haven't really considered FT shooting when buying players - might have to pay some more attention though.

My PG is shocking - he misses more than he makes this season 45.8% that is terrible for my main ball handler. Need to sort that out at some stage...

Nice summary mate.

Any chance of ranking the salaries by team for the league, 1 - 16?

You've won 5 in a row, must be doing something right...

Be that as it may Matt, take a look out how the teams above mine have gone in the last 8 games

Snuffies - 7-1
Linguists - 7-1
Mooses - 6-2
Giant - 7-1
Windies - 7-1
Vipers - 7-1
Storm 6-2

so in fact, despite winning my last 5, i gained absolutely no ground on anyone above me, which is a little disheartening

now THAT is an interesting stat. So basically, the scoreline for games Big 8 v Great 8 was.

52 - 12

thats amazing.

as Matty requested, teams listed in order by salary. This is team salary though, and really, most teams are measured by their starting 5, so ive put that teams salary rank just based on their best 5 players, in brackets.
ill keep the salary's secret for now :) i like this ranking because it really shows who is getting the most bang for their buck.

1 - Snuffies (2)
2 - Moosas Mad Men (1)
3 - Corio Bay Giants (5)
4 - Geelong Vipers(6)
5 - Cunning Linguists (8)
6 - South Gisborne Storm (4)
7 - Vios Violationers (3)
8 - Mad Rangas (7)
9 - tannum tantrums (9)
10 - Hadders Heros (11)
11 - Perth Power Hustlers (10)
12 - West Indies (13)
13 - TeamAkuma (12)
14 - Northcote Slammers (14)
15 - TEAM LORDY (15)
16 - All-Sorts (16)

Of course one could always login to buzzer-manager themselves and get these stats and more, for free. :)))))))

Well though I have been in Thailand the last couple of weeks, I have been keeping an eye on the league and how things are progressing. I would like to remind those newbies to this league that over the last couple of seasons this league has been one of the closest comps going. Basically put it down to luck of you landing here right after most teams made their run, failed and are now looking at a future build.

I can also guarantee you that my team last season would have struggled to have lost a game this season. It's amazing that I've managed to hold a spot so close to the top in my conference, I had honestly expected to fight for relegation based on previous seasons.

I'm very glad to be able to kick back and ease the pressure after sitting in the top four for some time now and be able to train some juniors and not worry about pushing for ABBL. Hopefully everyone isn't ready for launch in the same season again when i'm next ready to push for the big leagues!

Two great stats in a row regan. Good stuff!

Well, since I noticed the FT stat for my guy I had a look and saw he was drawing the majority of these on patient offense. Since kicking over to both games in patient offense he has steadily climbed the various ladders.

World

Ranks #781 in PTS
Ranks #743 in PTS / game
Ranks #9 in FT made
Ranks #636 in FG attempted
Ranks #6 in FT attempted

he is like the 'Melo of Div II.

Wow mon that is interesting, so I have the cheapest starting 5 in the league besided the 3 tankers. Cool. Going to be hurt bad tonight so that will help keep me happy.

For those guys who have likely to have invested so much in the draft this season, ie. Slammers, LORDY, All-Sorts, Hustlers & Hadders.. what is the talent like in our draft in your view?

I know i am likely to get pick 6th barring winning enough games to rise over the Rangas and Tantrums, is their enough depth to get a decent player? I am unsure whether to spend my points as if i don't it may be useless down in div 3 next season where i will be near the top, or if i stay up and plan to move up to mid table.

im gonna chime in here, even though ur not asking me.

I did a little bit of analysis a few seasons ago when i was in Div III, and the conclusion that i basically came to the conclusion that it didnt really matter what position i was going to finish in, i would still get my top choice draft pick/picks.

The analysis I did was of the previous 4-5 seasons draft's, and essentially what choice pick everyone got. and pretty much everyone got their first, 2nd or 3rd choice pick in the first round.

So i was goign to finish 1st, which i did, id saved up my points from 2 seasons, and i spent most of them and then ironically, i only managed to get my 4th pick. dag nabbit. But it was a really good one, so it worked out ok.

That was Div III though im sure Div II would be slightly different, so it does depend. But in a season like this, where you look at the average scouting spend, its really big, so obviously there are teams investing quite heavily in the draft, and those guys finishing bottom and savvy enough users to be investing wisely and scouting wisely.
So IMO, this season is probably the worst to be trying pick up something good in the draft.

NB: just checked out the last 4 seasons in this league, everyone in the first round got at worst, their 4th priority. Then season 17, TL got their 7th priority. Season 18 only 1 team DIDNT get their number 1 priority in the first round. amazing.
