If You’re Punting FT% Fantasy Basketball Rankings
In head-to-head formats, the most effective way to win fantasy basketball leagues is through the tanking or “punting” of the free throw percentage category. The percentages can hurt your team the most as it is, so with the range of NBA players’ free throw percentages being 50-90 percent, that single category can ruin your team, unless you choose to ignore it completely.
What’s interesting is that when free throw percentage is thrown out altogether, the rankings change drastically. I promise, no one else would have Baron Davis as their number 7 overall player!
The rankings are a based on a mathematical formula which rates each players projection in each category as a value over the average of all NBA players. So someone with a positive value is better than average while someone with a negative value is worse than the average NBA player.
Another useful way to use these rankings is when looking at players to target in fantasy trade talks. Since the total score of each player is a composite of all of their rankings in each category, you should always make sure the players you’re trading for have a total score greater than or equal to the ones you are giving away.
