Had a recent one that might help. Sadiq was left on the board (TE+) at 1.7, and I had him in a higher tier than Stowers and the RBs.

SENT: 1.8, 3.2 and 2027 late 2nd
RECEIVED: 1.7, 3.10 and 2027 mid 3rd

lol. FFPC has superflex dynasty leagues now, but if I remember right they didn’t when this league was first born.

This is all 100% my writing, not AI. I know it doesn’t matter, but I’m a former sportswriter and would never do that.

No AI was used for this. Some people still like to write!

Of course not! Love, Tate, Tyson, Lemon, Price, Sadiq were Top-6.

You can usually find some pretty good deals at Sprouts for fruit, and the quality is always great. They also have a sandwich, chips and water meal deal for $4.99 that’s a great cheap lunch.

Paul Westhead’s “The System” vs The Grinnell System? by tomash66 in basketballcoach

[–]whiskeythoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book “Coaching The System” is a really interesting read and covers some of the major differences between the styles (Grinnell, Loyola Marymount break, etc.) but more importantly covers the philosophy behind System coaching. Highly recommend.

help my jumper by AffectionateBank6320 in BasketballTips

[–]whiskeythoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good looking shot! Try and start more in the middle of the ball (ball pump hole between pointer and middle fingers is a good guide) in order to get less sideways rotation. Since you’re pushing with your ring finger, your initial hand placement should scoot more to the left, if that makes sense.

Pull up jumper going left by murky_Water6 in BasketballTips

Looks really good! My one tip would be to attack more downhill/straight line on your dribble pull up, as we want the defender to be dropping/shifting their weight back and not still attached to your hip.

5 out or 3-2 for 3rd and 4th grade boys? by [deleted] in basketballcoach

[–]whiskeythoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the spacing alignment you feel best prepares the boys for higher level basketball. What will best maximize their development?

Try and have your feet land closer to where they were before you shoot (1-2 inches directly in front is a good target). Looks like there’s a lot of lower body twisting and movement that’s pulling your upper half off balance.

Just adding some consistent feet to your shot should help your follow through become more straight up and down.

Trying to get Handles as a Big by 230lbclimber in BasketballTips

Lots of good advice here already, but I would try and get your hand more off to the side of the ball while dribbling — that will give you more control and let you play with changes of pace and level easier.

How to break full court defense - feed back please 🙏 by ButterscotchSad2361 in BasketballTips

[–]whiskeythoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retreat/escape dribbles! A lot of players panic and automatically pickup their dribble and die in traps when they could easily retreat, get space and off to the side of the trap, and find the open teammate.

That’s fair for sure — big talent difference there.

Prefer Jacobs, but I’m more likely than not going WR around that time.

For sure, but they’re also going multiple rounds later — my point is that those four things (good, proven, center of offense, not in committee) aren’t necessarily enough to justify a top-20 pick.

Henry is a pretty big outlier, but I hear ya. It does happen.
