NBA Auction Strategy Part 6: Points Leagues (ESPN) Rankings and Auction Values

NBA Auction Strategy Part 6: Points Leagues (ESPN) Rankings and Auction Values

This article is part of our NBA Draft Strategy series.

For our Points Leagues rankings cheat sheet, we used ESPN's standard points settings, since Yahoo does not have a default points setting. They simply have the categories zeroed out when creating a points league.

ESPN Default Points Setup:
Pts = 1
Rebs = 1
FGM = 1
FTM = 1
Asts = 1
Stls = 1
Blks = 1
TOs = -1
FGA = -1
FTA = -1

In Part 2 of our Auction Strategy series, we pointed out that a player's ranking and auction value can be very different depending on your league settings (number of teams, roster spots, and scoring). To help gain an advantage on draft day, Parts 3-6 of this series will give you suggested auction values and snake draft rankings specific to Head-to-Head, Rotisserie, and Points Leagues:

Part 1:Why You Should Try An Auction Draft (Free!!)
Part 2:How Auction Values Are Calculated (Free!!)
Part 3:Head-to-Head Rankings and Auction Values (Free!!)
Part 4:9-Category Rotisserie Rankings and Auction Values (Subscriber Content)
Part 5:8-Category Rotisserie Rankings and Auction Values (Subscriber Content)
Part 6:Points Leagues Rankings and Auction Values (Subscriber Content)

All of the rankings and auction values are based off of the RotoWire Projections. They are calculated using the methodology described in Part 2 of the series.

The rankings and auction values provided in this article are for 12- and 10-team leagues. They are up to date as of 10/13/2014. If you would like
