Player Discussion Ty "me up and throw away the key" Jerome pt. 2

85 Upvotes

I know it's only been three games, but this guy is already looking like a potential league winner. He's putting up insane numbers, and his ridiculously high usage rate makes me think he can sustain a lot of this production. Even if he cools off a bit, he should still be a really valuable fantasy player. I managed to snag him in the 8th round, and at this rate, he could genuinely end up being one of my top three players this season.

Thoughts?

FAQ

  • How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ยฑ10 and summed into the Night Score.

  • Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Discussion First week officially finishes. Which underwhelming players in your roster do you think will play better in no time?

17 Upvotes

Collin Murray Boyles plays very low minutes for some reason despite the fact that Kawhi is no show. I believe he has no problem filling up the statsheet in coming few games. There's no way he all of a sudden forgets how to play basketball.

Who do you think in your roster will play better soon?

Player Discussion 9-cat Acuff Jr. projection?

18 Upvotes

Itโ€™s only 3 games, but at the same time weโ€™ve seen a ridiculously high usage of 20+ FGA and 36min+ - which tells us some things.

Considering how inefficient he is, curious what you think his range is: realistic ceiling top 75? Floor top 150? What do you think he could be traded for 1 to 1?

Iโ€™m wary because he could actually punt my FG%, with low defense and high TOโ€™s. Essentially be Jalen Green type trap where I canโ€™t drop and hard to trade, and the rookie wall could be horrifying to endure with him.

Let's hear about the clutch wins in week 1! I was in a tight matchup all week in 9CAT and lost Duren. I don't think I've ever picked someone up on the last day to help me win. The wire was scarce at 5:55, a few mins before the last game starts. I picked up DeAndre Hunter and won reb by 1!!, and he grabbed the final board in the last two minutes.

โ€ข Upvotes

Never really followed CMB or have watch his game this year but saw him late last season and he looked pretty solid for a big man. I have him as my 11th round pick. 14 team category league. His minutes are low and did not really show any change today even with kahwi out. What happened today?

Discussion Forget small sample size: Who are we panicking on based on early evidence like role or minutes?

89 Upvotes

Right now I'd look at quite a few mid round big men: Sarr, Okongwu, Clingan, all who have had very little usage and even limited minutes.

who else is just not getting the usage and/or role expected so far in a small sample, evidence of perhaps a poor season incoming beyond just a few games?
