I'll try and get stats posted in 2 weeks. And then You all can have another 2 weeks to deliberate on your final 9 players.
Feel pretty strongly that this will be the 1st Team All-American team:
Braden Smith, Purdue
PJ Haggerty, Memphis
Kam Jones, Marquette
Cooper Flagg, Duke
Johni Broome, Auburn

There were 16 players not drafted on the list, including a couple of guys that will end up being All-Americans:

I'm sure DukeDevilz probably has the full history but here are the top individual scorers the last 4 years:
1) @GE Nole 2024 - 97.7
2) @dukedevilz 2022 - 91.3
3) @IUfanBorden 2024 - 89.6
4) @dukedevilz 2023 - 84.9
5) @dukedevilz 2024 - 85.5
DD with 3 of the top 5 scores in the last 4 years. Impressive!

Thanks! I've had some solid teams in recent memory. I feel like I've had decent forecasts on most of my selected players. This year, however, I'll probably be middle of the pack. No All-Americans, and I might even struggle to get an HM All-American. That's the beauty of the contest, though. It'd be boring if it were super predictable and formulaic.
WCC POY + Next 4 highest in Win Shares will be given credit for 1st Team. The 5 guys left out of 1st Team will be 2nd Team performers.
Updating the stats is going to be hard for me to do (turnover at work is creating a larger workload). Problem is, you basically have to do it in one sitting. If you wait, then the stats are no longer up to date. I don't have the time right now to carve out 2+ hours to do this in one sitting.
The most reasonable thing I can do is simply not enforce the cuts this year. I'll simply score the 9 highest rated players on your team.

The other option is to tell people to do their own homework if they want to make educated cuts. For most, it's going to be trying to pick 3 guys out of 5 to cut and they can easily see winshares by just clicking on this link and searching for their players:

@dukedevilz didn't do his homework so now I'm supposed to do it for him? Yea, no thanks on that.
You don't have to. If you'd like, I'd be happy to pick which 3 guys you should drop.
I'd start with that Flagg guy. Dude doesn't even know the difference between a fart and a shart.
