NLL Conference Semis Playoff Showcase Challenge

Details

Now that round 2 of the playoffs is upon us, it’s time for another NLL challenge! This time we wanted to provide something that felt akin to fantasy basketball, but adjusted for the playoffs. Players will fill out a showcase representing their 5 starters (one for each position) +1 ‘bench’ player (or ‘Sixth Man’) for all of round 2. They will then score fantasy points based on their averages per game over the round.

You must use 6 different players in your showcase!

Each player must play a different position, as listed on their Top Shot moment (PG, SG, SF, PF, C), except for your ‘Sixth Man’ who can play any position (and doesn’t have to be a bench player).

Scoring

Remember these will be scored based on their averages across the series. We don’t want to reward a player because his team couldn’t get the job done in 4 games!

• +1 pt per point per game
• +0.5 pt per 3-pointers per game
• +1.25 pt per rebounds per game
• +1.5 pt per assists per game
• +2 pt per blocks per game
• +2 pt per steals per game

Examples

Good Example

• Dedmon: Center
• Haslem: Power Forward
• Strus: Small Forward
• Herro: Shooting Guard
• Vincent: Point Guard
• Yurtseven: Center, but in this case is filling the 6th man position

(no, everyone doesn’t have to be from the same team)

Bad Example

• Olynyk: Center — he isn’t on the Heat anymore and isn’t in the playoffs
• Tucker, Butler, Robinson — they are all Small Forwards, only one can count
• Lowry: Point Guard — this is fine actually. The moment doesn’t need to match the current team the player is on
• Martin: another Small Forward, but he is in the 6th man position, so that is fine

(Note: your showcase doesn’t have to follow the order of C-PF-SF-SG-PG-6th, but it does make it easier. When you enter into the form this won’t be a question, but it does make it easier if there are any mistakes on submission).
