Full-league statistical projections for the 2022-23 season are available now in the Rotoworld NBA Draft Guide! Updated daily, these projections are meticulously hand-crafted by the Rotoworld hoops crew. This isn’t an algorithm spitting out stats without regard to context – leveraging decades of collective experience (or decades of individual experience, in the case of @docktora), we consider every injury timetable, changing roles, returning teammates, new coaches, offseason reports, and so much more.
How accurate are our projections? As an example, Rotoworld’s projected minutes for the season are within 0.67% of the ideal goal. League-wide there will be 590,000 minutes played, and our total (which changes very slightly each day) is currently 586,453 (99.33%). The same exacting level of detail is applied throughout the Draft Guide.
Rotoworld’s in-house projections are also the basis for our industry-leading Top-200 rankings for 8-cat, 9-cat and Points-based leagues. With total confidence in our projections, we can run the numbers to determine objective fantasy values, allowing the numbers to speak for themselves.
For an even wider variety of rankings perspectives, look no further than Rotoworld’s Staff-Average Top-200 list! You’ll find personal Top-200 lists from every member of our hoops crew, plus an average of our lists. If you prefer to go into your drafts armed with an industry-expert baseline for rankings, this is your one-stop solution.
The Guide also features a powerful Punting Tool (coming soon!). With a few mouse clicks, you can sort by any category (PTS, REB, FG%, etc.) and instantly see a new ‘punt’ Top-200 (and values to show who gains/loses the most by punting). Pair it with Zak Hanshew’s Punting Guide, and your league’s managers won’t know what hit them. Exclusively for Draft Guide members, custom punt builds are available upon request (@ryanknaus on Twitter).
The hoops crew has also written 300+ Player Outlooks, like the following for Mavs’ superstar Luka Dončić:
Multiply that player profile by 300 to get a sense of the sea of content we’ve compiled.
