Been playing fantasy a loong time, starting with roto on Yahoo in 08... Punting hurts my soul, but I have been able to adopt "soft punt" strategies to success in recent years.
Because of scarcity, I plan to draft 4 guards/high scorers than 5th and 6th round I will fill out my bigs. I draft near the back end of a 12-man and this has been my favorite strategy in mocks
@@VareaIIIthere is a glut of bigs around 3-6 Bam, Kessler, Ayton, Mobley, Allen, Turner, etc. bigs and pgs are equally scarce. But in my mock drafts grabbing guards rd1/2 and then grabbing bigs 3 or 4 and 5 or 6.
Mitch, thank you. Lovin' your approach to content. In my opinion it provides a point of difference to much of the other fantasy analysts. The 25 most interesting is a good watch too. As a premium subscriber I have decided to make a massive shift in the 12 team 9 cat h2h, last year of dynasty. Shifting from punting Adfg% and TO to punting points, 3s and FTM (soft punt). Will see how it goes.
in my opinion it's one of the best punt builds out there as most people won't value players the way you do. It all hinges of having big assist guys tho in my experience
@@BallBoysFantasyBasketball I have to lock in my keepers. I found trading players from my punt FG% TO I was able to grab some good value trades. We run an auction draft $105 limit. My 8 to choose 6 keepers are LaMelo $17 Fultz $1 Simmons $11 Tyus Jones $1 Kyrie $4 Duren $1 Gafford $1 Robinson $5. If you have time to give me your thoughts, especially on the 6 keepers that would be awesome. We play a two C starting 10.
I'm joining the heaps of people praising you for how useful and informative this is. Loved the statistical scarcity video as well. I've really changed the way I draft because of your videos. I've subscribed to the silver membership, but I regret not going for the platinum. Is it possible to upgrade?
4 person league, should I trade away luka and mobley for sabonis and haliburton? My roster is: -luka -ant -demar -Tatum -vucevic -jalen brunson -Poole -markennan -mobley -bam -kyrie -porzingus -bane(gonna pick up Cade) What other things could I do?
I weight it knowing how strong I’m going to be naturally when punt categories. So if punting FT% I’m gonna be strong in rebounds, blocks and FG% naturally so I don’t have to work hard for that. So for those build I boost things like points, assists and steals as they’re going to be more difficult to find
Great Video!! really well done and easy to understand given the topic has a lot of moving parts. Question - If Embid is my first pick at the 3rd spot (H2H, 10 team league) does my team necessarily have to be a big man build?
MY LEAGUE is a H2H, 10 team league, win loss record. We use DDs instead of TOs. Given that, is it harder to punt when big men are more valuable given the DD category? ]Thank you
Appreciate the video and agreed with the point about building your team and basing it off of your own research. Not relying on rankings and even what other “experts” have to say. You can take a little bit from people and really come up with your own opinion. I disagree on the Mobley vs Sabonis argument. Sabonis scores more and has that opportunity because he’s the second best player in Sacramento- Mobley is behind Mitchell and Garland while playing next to Jarrett Allen. They both get the same amount of steals. Sabonis gets better FG%, FT%, PTS, REB, AST. But again depending on the build- Mobley could be higher.
Yeah both things can be true, in fact I have Mobley ranked higher in my minus one but see more utility in drafting Sabonis higher most of the time as getting assists earlier in drafts is more important. Good thing we don’t have to decide that since Mobley is going later anyway
Bro im getting shai/hali or tatum. Thinking about picking AD on the second round because in my draft buddies no one likes him. Think its a good pair with any of those three’s? Thanks man 👌
I just finished up my 6 team league hahaha. I got Jokic, Sabonis, Kyrie, ice trae. I’m excited to see Sabonis and Jokic balance each other well on boards and assists 😊
Great vid! Knowing the league format is so important in building a team. For example in our league Weekly H2H 9 category we do not use FT% and use FTM instead. Thanks for the examples on drafting a roster.
I dont understand the scarcity rankings. How are steals 7th? They are very hard to find later in rounds, sure you can get KCP but he sucks in other things, it should be 5th tied for blocks ish
Herb Jones will be in the top 10 in steals and can be found after pick 100, same with Thybulle, Caruso, Thompson twins etc Obviously they fall short in other areas but that's the point of emphasising the scarceness of the other categories
Do you punt in H2H leagues or build balanced lineups?
I’m a noob what is punting

Aren't bigs more scarce?

This is hands down the single most informative fantasy basketball video this offseason
Thanks mate appreciate the kind words!
You and Josh from locked on are the only bball guys I listen to
This is very helpful. I have much experience of fantasy draft. But I still learned from here. Thanks.
Mitch, thanks for what you do mate. Value from this video is insane. We appreciate it
Im in the championship final. I made top 2. Thank you so much.

Yes you should be able to upgrade the plan on the site and just pay the difference
4 person league, should I trade away luka and mobley for sabonis and haliburton?
My roster is:
-luka
-ant
-demar
-Tatum
-vucevic
-jalen brunson
-Poole
-markennan
-mobley
-bam
-kyrie
-porzingus
-bane(gonna pick up Cade)
What other things could I do?
Yup! Do it
How do you know how to weigh specific categories when punting them in the rankings tool?
I weight it knowing how strong I’m going to be naturally when punt categories. So if punting FT% I’m gonna be strong in rebounds, blocks and FG% naturally so I don’t have to work hard for that. So for those build I boost things like points, assists and steals as they’re going to be more difficult to find
Great Video!! really well done and easy to understand given the topic has a lot of moving parts. Question - If Embid is my first pick at the 3rd spot (H2H, 10 team league) does my team necessarily have to be a big man build?
Nope, I’m fact my favourite build for embiid is a punt FG% build
@@BallBoysFantasyBasketball ty for responding, and I don’t mean to have a back and forth, but his FG is 54% why would you punt that necessarily? Ty
what u think about Harden Holmgren duo in first rounds and continue build on punt points ?? thanks
MY LEAGUE is a H2H, 10 team league, win loss record. We use DDs instead of TOs. Given that, is it harder to punt when big men are more valuable given the DD category? ]Thank you
I'm looking for content for dynasty h2h points do you do points league content?

Where do you access minus one rankings?
Good vid but just fyi the audio is really low here
I just finished up my 6 team league hahaha. I got Jokic, Sabonis, Kyrie, ice trae. I’m excited to see Sabonis and Jokic balance each other well on boards and assists 😊
To have sabonis fall that far is a coup.
Great vid! Knowing the league format is so important in building a team. For example in our league Weekly H2H 9 category we do not use FT% and use FTM instead.
Thanks for the examples on drafting a roster.
So it's not so much finding guys bad at what your punting it's that they will naturally correlate to what you need
precisely
🔥🔥🔥 Video brother! Much respect from Chicago 🍺🍺
thanks man appreciate it!
That was perfect info
very helpful! thanks
whats the best fantasy league types to play in
I believe the "score" on Fantrax heavily values players good in the turnover category.
i signed up and paid for your silver membership on the website but I dont have access to anything
Email me: ballboysnba@gmail.com
emailed you at @@BallBoysFantasyBasketball
Where do you see the -1 rankings and punt rankings?
Ballboysnba.com
just a quick question Mitch, who would you pick in a 9cat league, Jrue? or Jdub?
it would depend on what i've done before then and what i'm looking for...
@@BallBoysFantasyBasketball if I'm punting assists, would it be Jdub then?
yeah probably@@poco4765
The start of the video just reminds me of Scott Barnes pick 61
haha yes I discuss this
I'm sorry for the long intro, goes on to continue endless intro.
haha sorry not sorry
Not the biggest reaves fan, but he would be a good late round player to boost your ft or?
yes, except his big volume only really came when LeBron was out so when they're healthy I don't think his attempt will be all that high
I use hashtag Basketball to help with my rankings for my punts that I’m doing.
Yeah another great site
what is a roto league?
I dont understand the scarcity rankings. How are steals 7th? They are very hard to find later in rounds, sure you can get KCP but he sucks in other things, it should be 5th tied for blocks ish
Herb Jones will be in the top 10 in steals and can be found after pick 100, same with Thybulle, Caruso, Thompson twins etc
Obviously they fall short in other areas but that's the point of emphasising the scarceness of the other categories
@@BallBoysFantasyBasketball i get so confused man, i still dont understand how to punt correctly lol always feel like im losing too many other cats
At what point picking Morant isn’t a bad pick?
Late 3rd
@@bigbanknewyork3655lol late 3rd is absolutely bad
I got him 93rd
I'm trying to b better cats player so learn me lol
Roto is king. H2H is mickey mouse short term short minded and diminishes categories.
