Zombie Sonics finished at .803 from the line. Voss Angeles Lukas finished at .807. One make from six and Kenny wins FT% and the matchup 5-4. Instead Justin takes it 5-4 with the fewest points in the league.

Bad beats and near misses

Kenny was not alone

Darren · At the Turn

Robbed by two turnovers

Darren put up the third-best week in the league: 573 points and 66 threes. He drew the second-best week in Tim, and lost TO 67-69. GG Jackson, his Friday pickup, had three of those turnovers on 1 of 7 shooting.

Jing · B2b dnps

Nine points short

Jing lost PTS 479-488 and TO 71-67. Darius Garland alone turned it over 18 times in three games, more than a quarter of the team's total. Trim five of those and Jing wins the DNP derby.

Kevin · KePang

Wrong week to draw Dan

Kevin had the best player of the week, and his totals would have beaten seven of the 15 teams. He drew the one team that would have beaten everybody, and lost 7-2 with three roster spots that never scored.

Uncle's corner · William, White Boy Summer

Kids these days

Darius Acuff Jr. · Kings rookie · age 19

Sacramento trailed by 11 with 1:19 left. Darius Acuff Jr. pulled up for a 24-foot step-back three and missed. Before that shot William led FG% .4752 to .4747. After it, Ron led .4747 to .4737, and that's where it finished.

He got one chance to win it back. Down 13 with 8.3 seconds left, the young man could have dribbled out the clock. He let fly from 27 feet instead and missed. If that one drops, William takes FG% and wins the week 6-3, not 5-4.

Acuff was born in November 2006. When this league held its first draft in 2012, he was five. Seventh pick, nineteen years old, game over, and he still thinks he's got the green light from 27 feet. Nobody dribbles out the clock any more. Nobody thinks about the people who drafted them. Somebody's uncle needs to have a word, and there are 16 of us.

Awards

Studs, duds and one boomerang

Player awards use nine-category value over the full week on Yahoo's numbers, with FG% and FT% weighted by volume.

Performer of the week

Tyrese Maxey

KePang · 4 games · 115 pts · 9 3PM · 19 ast · 8 stl · 4 blk · 24 of 28 FT

Number one on the board for the week, and it was not close. His team lost 7-2.

Dud of the week

Josh Giddey

B2b dnps · pick 27 · 3 games · 17 pts on 7 of 26 · 1 stl · 0 blk

The 25 assists and 19 boards keep this from being a total write-off. He still finished outside the top 200 for the week.

Dishonourable mentions: Mikal Bridges (Aaron, pick 95) 10 points on 5 of 23 with zero threes. James Harden (Kim-Meng, pick 46) 6 of 20 and 10 turnovers in two games.

Steal of the draft, so far

Ty Jerome

Daniel's Dyson Daniels · pick 104 · 104 pts · 36 of 64 · 23 of 26 FT

The 104th pick scored 104 points in three games and finished second on the week's board.

Team of the week

Daniel's Dyson Daniels

612 pts · 67 3PM · 41 stl · beat all 15 teams on totals

League highs in points and threes. Dan's category totals would have beaten all 15 teams.

Waiver hero

Duncan Robinson

White Boy Summer · $0 on 18 Oct · 59 pts · 5, 5 and 5 threes

Five threes in every game. Take his line away and Ron wins 3PM, PTS and the matchup.

Waiver dud

Anfernee Simons

ChetGPT · $3 on 23 Oct · 9 pts on 3 of 17

Ron dropped Kevin Porter Jr. for this. Runner-up: GG Jackson, $0, three points and three turnovers that cost Darren the week.

The boomerang

Aaron Wiggins

Dropped 21 Oct · 51 pts · 10 3PM · 18 of 31 while unowned · re-added 25 Oct for $3

William cut him before his first game, watched all three of his games from the outside, then paid to get him back once Atlanta's week was done. De'Andre Hunter went the other way: dropped, re-added and dropped again in ten days.

Turnover king

Luka Doncic

Voss Angeles Lukas · 21 turnovers in 3 games

Seven a night, and Justin still won TO by 13 because Kenny's team coughed it up 80 times, the most in the league. Garland was second with 18.

Glass eater

Domantas Sabonis

Tim's Terrific Team · 52 reb in 3 games · 21 of 26 FG

Seventeen boards a night at 81 per cent shooting. Honourable mention to Jalen Johnson, who averaged a triple-double: 30 rebounds and 30 assists over three games.

Draft vs now

Where your picks stand

Each drafted player's pick against his rank after Week 1, out of the 400 players who have played. The per game rank shows how he has played when he suits up, with a two-game minimum. The season rank counts every game he has missed, so injuries and rest days drag it down. Teams have played two to four games so far, so the season rank still leans on the schedule.

Luck check

Who got the draw

Each team's Week 1 totals put up against all 15 other teams, as if they had played everyone. It shows who would have beaten almost anybody and who only beat the team they drew.

Injury ward

A brutal Sunday

Status as of Monday afternoon Adelaide time. No diagnosis was out for the Sunday injuries when this went up.

Jalen Williams

Wheelin & Dealin · Aaron · pick 31

Stretchered off with 1:14 left in Oklahoma City's win over the Clippers after landing on his left leg while being fouled on a drive. Kris Dunn was given a flagrant 1. The Thunder covered the leg with towels, SGA teared up in his post-game interview, and coverage compared it to the Gordon Hayward and Paul George injuries.

The Thunder said they would be briefed Monday morning. Plan for a long absence. Aaron lost his second-round pick on the same night he lost the matchup.

  • Jalen SuggsSpeaker For The DNP · WilsonRight knee buckled on a breakaway layup with 2:09 left at Madison Square Garden. Non-contact, helped to the locker room, MRI to come. Anthony Black (Tim) is the likely starter.
  • Cason WallaceTim's Terrific Team · TimLeft shoulder after running into an Isaiah Jackson screen in the first quarter. Did not return. OKC play again Monday.
  • Ivica ZubacHart and Harper · EricAnkle, seven minutes in Brooklyn, did not return. Yahoo has him doubtful.
  • Paolo BancheroWTJ · DavidLow-grade high ankle sprain from Friday against Minnesota. Expects to miss at least a month.
  • Jalen DurenVoss Angeles Lukas · JustinRight hamstring strain. Re-evaluated in two weeks.
  • Kawhi LeonardZombie Sonics · KennySat Sunday with left knee swelling.

Also missed Sunday: Ausar Thompson (Justin, right ankle), VJ Edgecombe (Kevin, abdominal contusion), Keegan Murray (Jono, ankle). Isaiah Joe (Wilson) left after four minutes. Still on the shelf: Coby White (Jing, calf), Kon Knueppel and Tobias Harris (Frank), Dereck Lively and Nic Claxton (Kim-Meng), Brandon Ingram and Jusuf Nurkic (David).

Grades weigh what each pickup produced for his new team against the bid and the player dropped to make room. Diabate loses marks because Dan cut Wendell Carter Jr. for him, and Carter went on to shoot 19 of 25. Drummond loses marks for costing William Aaron Wiggins. INC means no games yet. Sunday adds with no game: Trevon Brazile ($15) and Herb Jones ($1) for Frank, Max Christie ($5) for David, Aaron Wiggins ($3) for William. Wheelin cut Ben Simmons on 23 Oct with no add.
