I would like to get you guys' thoughts in regards to my keepers. We keep 4 players, I know I'm keeping D. Williams, Harden, and Cousins. I need to decide on 1 more keeper from Tyreke Evans, R. Anderson, Bosh and Hibbert. It is a 9-cat, roto league with FGM and FTM instead of %s.
Any suggestions?

Ryan Anderson ranked as the best of the remaining bunch by those rankings last year (ahead of Harden, too). He'll still be a primary scoring option in New Orleans, and with such volume-scoring-centric settings, I expect him to remain the best of that group.

I would keep ur 3 plus Bosh. New orleans is in major flux and I think ryan Anderson pulls a Dorell this year. Hibbert and bosh are real close but Bosh is much more efficeint and fewer negatives make a difference in ROTO. Maybe Anderson doesn't fall as far as Dorell but his landing spot will be down the list.

depends how risk adverse you are. Bosh is the safe play- you know exactly what you're getting with him - a top 40 guy. Anderson has more upside, but possibly a lower floor too. I see with your weird scoring settings that Anderson was only half a round more valuable than Bosh last year, so I'd probably roll with Bosh all things considered.
Can't say I like the idea of replacing %s with buckets made, but whatever floats your boat.

I'm not a big Ryan Anderson fan this year. When he was traded to the Magic, he fit the Otis Smith Power Forward model:
With Howard down low commanding double and triple teams, that would open the outside shooting power forward wide open looks.
With that model, Ryan Anderson had over two 3s per game. Take away Howard, I think his 3 points made goes down, his points go down, his FGM goes down. Dramatically.

I agree dasein, I prefer the %s over the volume thing. It's a keeper league I joined a couple or three years ago just to see how I liked the FGM and FTM compared to %s. It's not my favorite thing because it more or less eliminates rewarding efficiency at all and simply rewards opportunity/volume.
Obviously it changes the value of a lot of players (D. Howard most of all), but I like all of the managers in that league and it's always very competitive so it still makes for a fun league. Thanks for the input guys, I think I'll keep Bosh over R. Anderson just because he makes me nervous being in such a different situation this year.

Looks like I'm alone, but I like Hibbert to keep. I agree with HF that Hibbert and Bosh are close, but I went the other way. Bosh is a safer play, but with Allen in Miami, they won't need Bosh spread the floor as much and he may see a slight decline in usage. Hibbert is still improving, but has a very good base, if he can find some more touches in the offense he will be a lto more valuable than Bosh.
Anderson is a big question mark. I don't know what to expect, and thats why I wouldn't keep him. He will either win someone their league, or lose it. I don't see him just being a good pick, he will either be great again, or way overvalued going into the year.

I'd keep Anderson of the options. He won't be as efficient (low TO), but I have no doubts that his role/usage will grow with NOR. Bosh is the safer pick in that you know what you'll get.

I haven't crunched any numbers or anything but wouldn't replacing %s with volume hurt Bosh's value? I would actually go with Hibbert as a keeper because Indiana is all in with him and his max contract so they will be featuring him a lot. Fully expect Anderson to pull a Dorrel this year (only not as Dorrelly)
