I’ve been slowly working through the season 9 video. It’s painfiul, but educational.

Week 8 (February, 6th, 2010) was after the 3rd day missed due to snow. People were itching to play. This day featured some of the worst and best play that the ABFL has to offer. The player of the day: Ethan Conner-Ross. Ethan scored 5.1 pts/game (3rd best) on 45% shooting, 3.5 rebounds/game (3rd best), 1.1 assists/game (tied for 5th). His only downside was 1.8 turnovers/game (worst)– the dirty triple double, but this didn’t stop him from racking up 5 wins to 1 loss and a plus.minus of +21.

I’ve adjusted the standard fantasy evaluations after some discussions with Jon Hummel and others. Initially I added points for wins. This new number takes plus/minus (total divided by 4) into account along with wins (+1 for each win) and losses (-1 for each loss).  I’ve also lowered the +10 for a triple double to +5. I think this new number is a better reflection of the AFBL impact. Feel free to disagree.

… and the numbers

Andrew Jeffrey Wright, -2.67, Wins/Losses 0-3, +/- -16 – AJDubs is the first victim of the new AFBL value. He did go 0 for 9 from the floor and tallied 3 losses with a plus/minus of -16.

Marcus, 0.72, Wins/Losses 1.5-3, +/- -12 – Marcus only took one shot (a miss) but grabbed 6 rebounds and passed for 3 assists. He also had 4 turnovers and 1 steal with a plus/minus of -12.

Isaac Lin, 2.15, Wins/Losses 1-5.5, +/- -31 – This is by far Isaac’s worst AFBL day ever. He did score 20 and get 14 rebounds. But 1.1 turnovers/game (5th worst) and his record on 1 win and 5.5 losses causes his poor plus/minus of -31 (worst) really hurt his overall score here.

Jules Cornellius, 3.95, Wins/Losses 1-4.5, +/- -16 – 4.2 rebounds/game (2nd best). After that, his 0 for 5 from the three line and his -16 plus/minus killed his value.

Paul A, 5.06, Wins/Losses 1-3.5, +/- -12 – Paul almost had a triple double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 7 steals (1.6 per game, best of the day). His plus.minus and losses brought him down.

Keith McMenamin, 5.72, Wins/Losses 1.5-3, +/- -10 – Keith passed for an amazing 1.8 assists/game (best of the day) but his -10 plus/minus and %18 shooting brought him down.

Dave Papp, 5.75, Wins/Losses 3-3, +/- 0 – Dave had a very quiet 6 games. 3 wins, 3 losses and a plus/minus of 0. He did manage 9 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 turnovers, 3 steals and 1 block.

Nicky Santore, 6.14, Wins/Losses 1.5-4, +/- -16 – Another victim of the new AFBL value. Nicky did score 4.7 points/game (4th best) and block .7/game (best). After that his numbers were not Nicky-like. His losses and subsequent plus/minus caused the drop.

Dominic Fuscia, 7.6, Wins/Losses 4-1, +/- +20 – Dom should be the poster child for the new AFBL value. 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 8 turnovers (1.6 per, 2nd worst) and 2 steals might not amaze. His teams won 4 times and only lost once.

Alan Sable, 8.42, Wins/Losses 5-1.5, +/- +26 – Alan is quietly making a case for most improved AFBLer of Season 9. 8 points, 12 rebounds and an best of the day plus/minus of +26.

John Freeborn, 8.96, Wins/Losses 3-4.5, +/- -5 – Horrible shooting (21.9%, and 2 for 17 from 3-land) can be overcome. 3.9 rebounds per/game (3rd best), 1.3 assists per/game (3rd best) and 1 steal per/game (3rd best). John almost completed the amazing dirty quintuple double. 16 points, 27 rebounds, 9 assists, 9 turnovers and 7 steals.

Sean Agnew, 10.17, Wins/Losses 3-3, +/- 0 – Sean killed it with 6.0 points per/game (best) and 4.3 rebounds per/game (best) while shooting 40% (4th best). His downsides were 1.2 turnovers per/game (4th worst) and a lack luster record.

John Folmar, 12.57, Wins/Losses 3-4, +/- -2 – Another day another triple double for John Thousand. 15 points, 23 rebounds (3.3 per/game, 5th best) and 10 assists (1.4 per/game, 2nd best). The bad news, 20% shooting and 7 turnovers.

Jon Hummel, 13.5, Wins/Losses 5-1.5, +/- +18 – Wins count. That’s the new AFBL message. Jon continues his rookie year dominance with 5.2 points per game (2nd best) on 41.2% shooting (3rd best). Thrown in 1.2 assists per/game (4th best) with 1 steal and 1 block. 5 wins and 1.5 losses. What’s a half a loss? That’s when a game gets cut off on video–so you know.

Justin Stuhltrager, 13.77, Wins/Losses 4.5-2, +/- +13 – Justin has the AFBL day of his life. 25 points on 52.4% shooting (best), 1.1 assists per/game (tied for 4th best) 19 rebounds, 5 steals and 1 block. In one magical game Justin scored 13 and pulled 7 boards, shooting 71%. His teams won for the most part and his plus/minus is verification.

Ethan Conner-Ross, 16.19, Wins/Losses 5-1, +/- +21 – Ethan did a little bit of everything and he. 5.1 points per/game (3rd best) with 37.5% from three (best) and 45.5% total (2nd best). 3.5 rebounds per/game (3rd best). 1.1 assists per/game (tied for 4th best). 6 steals and 1.8 turnovers per/game (worst). Best of all, Ethan’s teams won 5 games while only losing one.
