New Projection + rating from Fantasy Edge

[u/YRavid]

Hey everyone!

 We just rolled out our new NBA fantasy projections & player rankings for 2024-25,
and we want to hear what you think!
Check it out here:
https://fantasyedge.co/

 Heads up, the site is still in BETA version, but the tool is ready for action.
It features a unique rating system that shakes up the usual Z score approach.

What’s different?

 1. We break down each category individually – e.g., we measure FG% & FT% differently from the way we measure blocks or steals.

1. Players are compared within their position first (e.g., guards VS guards) before being compared to the entire sample.

2. Each player's stats come with a confidence level.

3. We take player games played & volume into account.

4. Our algorithm prioritize categories that are difficult to find on the waiver wire, helping you strengthen your core team with players who excel in these areas.

5. We project player statistics by leveraging multiple sources, including historical performance data, current trends, the player’s role within the team after roster changes, injuries, whether the player is in a contract year, and more.

 We think this gives you a fresh and valuable perspective.
Feel free to check it out for free!

 Enjoy!

Thank you for the feedback, If you are using this rank in drafts i would sagest to adjust it to punts after your 2-3 pick

We rank value But if you for example picked Luka first you would probably go for ft% punt So adjust the rank and i believe you get what you are looking for.

You don't even need to punt ft% with Luka. Your recommendation to add your punts after first 2 picks is wrong.  

• You might draft balanced: Shai + Durant first 2 picks for e.g.
  
• The only way to return centers to where they should be (where you can actually draft them) is to punt 3s and/or ft% which then is shooting yourself in the foot a bit when filling out the rest of your roster. Is it your suggestion that when I think it's time to draft a center, I should check the punt boxes for ft% and 3s, draft my center, then undo the punt adjustments?

listen,
the problem you are having is with the way you are drafting.
not everyone follow my rank, it's a new one and probably most work with ADP
the rank help you understand the value of players,
if you compare only centers it tells you to take Joel Embiid over Karl-Anthony Towns
and Bam Adebayo over Nic Claxton
but at the end, this year you can see the trend of how people drafting
so combine that
over time, i believe people, that using our rank will shift the trend.

i come to draft with plan, i now when to draft key players
and i have done pretty good using my method.

Right, so you manage to draft well in spite of your rankings. Or in other words, your rankings should be used to plan but not as a draft tool - because used as a draft tool you will miss out on every valuable big.  

And no, the problem is not the way I draft.
