who wouldn't like to have Mina he has been incredible to watch "develop". Will be interesting to see what he sells for?

I have no issue with taking him off your hands for a while, even if temporary. :P

However, my cash flow would take a huge dive and my bank account would be in the negatives by the millions.

To make this more interesting, his handling popped to sensational this morning.

I would have put Barr on the market to buy Mina, but I had already used up all my money on arena expansion

Second Quarter Rankings
*covers through 11 games
**First seven games are INTRAconference while the remaining four games are INTERconference. INTRAconf games are worth a maximum of 4 pts per game while INTERconf games are worth a max of 7 pts. To understand the difficulty of achieving the maximum points, it requires the player to record a Hollinger Game Score far greater than anyone else for the set of games. I grade every performance by the players on a bell curve.

*Prior games can fluxuate on the curve. This is done so that past scores have the possibility of actually looking better or worse depending on how the rest of the league performs throughout the season.

*Only games that count are the games where a player records a minimum of 16 minutes of action, or 1/3rd of the standard 48 minutes.

A couple statistics based off these rankings:

Big XIII had 43 players while the Great XIII had 32 players in the Top 75. This indicates that the Big XIII players are giving better performances and considering we have only seen four INTERconference matchups, that says a lot about the quality of competition the Big XIII provides as compared to the Great XIII. For example, my Chicago Goats are playing well under what they are actually capable of playing and the rankings show just that.

Goats thanks for your work on this gives some amazing number crunching stats.

No prob, Fella. I enjoy it. I think the biggest benefit, at least for me anyways, is that it gives some insight as to who is playing up to the value of their contract. For me, Galvao Veiga Paz has got to go. He's far too inconsistent as a shooter. Same goes for Lowell Webber and Titus Harvey. Clinton Cantrell has been sliding the last two seasons and continues to slide this season. My perimeter needs a major overhaul and because of that, Francisco Candia and Vernon Partridge are likely going to feel out of place. Candia is already 30+ but he's so damn important to the success of this team. If I want to upgrade my perimeter however, I need to be willing to let him or Partridge go while I groom Paul Wiles and Matthew Craven. It's something I am highly considering right now because Wiles is playing lights out when he gets good minutes while Craven needs more playing time to properly evaluate him. I'll make my decision soon before the All-Star break though because obviously that's the best time to try and make bank on their current value.

These are sooo good.. I love going through and dissecting how my guys are doing..

Does the Hollinger Game Score not take defense into account? About the only quantifiable defensive statistics I can think of are the defensive rebounds, steals, and blocked shots. That is the one flaw of the HGS; you certainly have a point there. Fortunately, the one good aspect of the HGS is that it doesn't matter how many points you score, missed shots play a fair role in determining shooter effectiveness which affects the HGS score. So far, it's the only way I can think of to grade player performances. I'll do some research to see if I can find a way to study defensive presence.
