Is it standard scoring, or are there custom settings that make particular stat categories more valuable than others?<\/p>\n<p>In standard scoring head-to-head leagues, players who score a lot but need a lot of shots to get going won\u2019t hurt you. But in a rotisserie league their low field goal percentage will be detrimental.<\/p>\n<p>Productive centers are as deep as they have been in recent memory, so unless you are hung up on getting <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/dwight-howard-introduced-in-h-town-fan-rally-video\/\">Dwight Howard<\/a> or Marc Gasol, you can wait on them, especially with the first pick.<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re looking at a guard or a forward with #1, and if you\u2019re looking at those two positions, you\u2019re looking at two guys.<\/p>\n<h2>Which brings us back to our original question \u2013 King James or Durantula at numero uno?<\/h2>\n<p>Again, depending on your league and which positions each player is listed at, James may have an advantage because of his versatility.<\/p>\n<p>But from a pure statistical production perspective, who do you pick? Let\u2019s look at the raw data.<\/p>\n<p>Since LeBron took his talents to South Beach, his on court success has increased and while his numbers have been great, they have decreased in comparison to Durant.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a comparison of his averages from his last three years in Cleveland, to his first three in Miami:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cleveland<\/strong> &#8211; 29.3 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 7.6 apg, 1.6 spg, 1.06 bpg, .492 FG%, .753% FT, 33% on threes, 39.03 mpg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami<\/strong> &#8211; 26.9 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 6.8 apg, 1.7 spg, .076 bpg, .535 FG%, .761% FT, 36% on threes, 38.06 mpg<\/p>\n<p>His per game averages are down right in line with playing a minute per game less. But is there any player in the league more consistent than LeBron?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a fantasy league that puts heavy emphasis on field goal percentage, LeBron made .602% of his two-point field goal attempts last season and an insane .565 overall. LeBron is entering his 11th NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Durant rivals LeBron in terms of consistency.<\/p>\n<p>The three-time NBA scoring champ contributes across the board, as his career averages in six NBA seasons would indicate:<\/p>\n<p>26.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.2 spg, 1.0 bpg, .475 FG%, .884 FT%, .37% on threes, 38.5 mpg.<\/p>\n<h2>So, who do you pick first &#8211; LeBron or Durant?<\/h2>\n<p>Scoring is sexy and Durant does that better than anybody else in the league.<\/p>\n<p>LeBron\u2019s overall skill set is attractive regardless of fantasy basketball scoring format.<\/p>\n<p>But, the decline of any <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/best-short-nba-player-ever-muggsy-adams-murphy-stoudamire-or-spud\/\">NBA player<\/a> is inevitable and you could argue that LeBron is due for that sudden decline.<\/p>\n<p>Until the wheels fall off, I\u2019m going with LeBron.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video to aid you in your decision, or to waste time at work:<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mZijKoHiI7g\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Related NBA:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 evyocv\" href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/so-you-made-your-fantasy-football-playoffs-please-shut-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">So, You Made Your Fantasy Football Playoffs; Please Shut Up<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kobe Bryant&#8217;s Last Road Game: I Was THERE!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I&#8217;ve been preparing for my 2020-2021 NBA fantasy league draft.

Eide"},"description":"I\u2019ve been a freelance journalist since 2000 and have had my work published via AskMen, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, Busted Coverage, and Autotrader. \u00a0 I own a marketing agency Wandering Eye and a notary business, Nebraska Notary. I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
