Basketball leaderboards now available

If you visit your Ottoneu Fantasy Basketball league home page and click Players you will now see some new sub menu items:

If you click on Leaderboards you’ll be presented with my attempt at recreating the FanGraphs baseball leaderboards, but for your basketball league.

I think it is relatively straightforwarded to use so I am not going to go into a detailed write up. Go mess around with it! Post any specific questions here and I’ll do my best to answer them.

I really appreciate the help from @chy924 @dberuta @vibbot and @mmaude to test this thing out.

Been playing around with it. Am I missing the fantasy pts column?

Nope, you can export any results and calculate those yourself for now. All the data is there.

Great feature – super useful. Curious - what’s the rationale for excluding the Fantasy Pts col? Seems like quite a lift to export & calculate locally.

It’s just a lot of columns already and the way the dataset is pulled from the DB (which is what makes the leaderboards fast) makes it very hard to calculate points while maintaining speed. I optimized heavily for speed, I think without it being fast its not much better than the current search.

Basketball leaderboards in points leagues now include a fantasy points column (FPts). You can now use this column to sort by per-game and total points.

Awesome! That’s super helpful. IDK about others, but I would be interested in how you ended up balancing the speed that you mentioned in the previous message with calculating points (tbh would be curious to learn a lot about the tech side of Ottoneu, if you ever want to write that up somewhere :slight_smile: )
