HELLO HELLO, i am once again going to try and give some tewwible analysis of all your draft picks. Yes i know, 75% of GMs strictly want this to be Heimer rn(yes, we have done the studies on RP giveth and likes given) and thats okay. We here at ClintInc. know you have a choice for your SLN draft...
No one else seems particularly interested in collecting these very generous article boni, so *twiddles fingers like a fat guy looking at a box of free donuts in the office* don’t mind if I do. Bringing back an article I wrote in October of 2023, so this one is original (enough)!
One of my favorite part about NFL/NBA drafts are the market surrounding draft day trades - trade ups, trade downs, etc. It appears our very own draft-day market is officially broken, with late 1sts getting sold for peanuts and the majority of the 2nd round picks getting...
HERE IT IS: THE TOP 25, AT LONG LAST, BEFORE THE WORK WEEK STARTS, WE ARE DROPPING IT AT ASHES-ONLY HOURS (and also Jordo hours if you're Jordo and you are in Greece, sup dude).
No time for intros this time -- let's get into it. Here are the 25 best players in the league with a little extra...
Since I didn’t do my mid-season positional ranks the last couple seasons, I thought it would be fun to point out all the ways JWoo’s implied positional rankings this season were wrong. I should also say, this has nothing to do with my draft pick situation. As follows, are the Points Gained (™)...
Piggy backing off my last article, i wanted to open this PER metric up to more SLN seasons to see how many times a player has reached Superstardom, and which teams have owned the most superstars in recent years.
This analysis only accounts for players in the current file so anyone...
I got somewhat bored, and mostly annoyed that JWoo's list spans 4 articles and has zero summary data. So why not make my own. Plus now we have clear position rankings to fight over and can look at his biases as well as overperformance and underperformance of teams.
Jwoo’s recent player rankings got me thinking about a metric to measure the efficiency of players across the league, leading me to my PER (Player Efficiency Rating) formula that rewards scoring and defensive contributions, while also integrating shooting efficiencies (FG%, FT%, 3P%), all...
I'm working on a rolling Team Ratings Index (it will take a while) but figured in the meantime that to develop this file, I'd need to estimate home-court advantage. Of course, if you play in the Swamp starting in 2026, your dreams go to die, but it's helpful to capture the overall...
Jwoo once took it upon himself to raise NDL AWARENESS in article form. Turns out he just collected an RP check and never did it again. Don’t worry, Merv is here to pick up the slack!
Behold, the first installment of my totally arbitrary but very thoughtful analysis of the top prospects in the NDL...
Thought it'd be fun to start a repository of SLN Sporcles - depending on if this is deemed worthy of RP may make more of these kinds of quizzes but feel like this will be a fun one to start!
In total 10 teams have used their MLE this season. Might do further research on if that number is low or not but now is not that time. Inspired by Wes having to defend Skal not getting extended last season, i decided to give some teams a friendly reminder.
We are all addicted to sims. A few weeks ago while collectively jonesing for a sim, a fellow SLNer inspired me to answer the question: When can we expect the Sim God to sim?
To do this, I collected all the dates and times of the Sim God's sim posts on the new boards...
It’s the start of the 2025 season and there were some big TCs across the league. Taking a deeper look to see who saw gains and who saw losses, as well as how those changes stacked up across player positions, ages, etc.
First a note on the data: when I refer to “TCΔ”, I count a letter grade move as...
THAT BIGGER CONFERENCE ROOM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR — Britt Daniel knows what you're thinking. Why would the lead singer of Spoon (and the lesser-known Divine Fits, and the lesser-known-than-that Coy Boy Revue) concede life as a decorated rockstar to co-manage some simulated basketball team?
Happy MDW and sorry for the delay, was traveling the last two days and these articles take a long ass time to write. After multiple flights of typing on my phone and a couple more days of sifting through stats, behold, the 50-26 part of this article series.

None of my birdies are leaking enough information. I tried to send this beautiful draft board to tenured ESPN lead draft writer, Jeremy Woo, but he refused to publish (citing journalistic integrity ). Instead, we will release it ourselves:
DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT, you know i love it. Not sure if anyone out there does based on who visits my draft reactions article but hey maybe next year. Most, if not ALL of you should have seen the Trail Blazers article by now. This is gonna be the same thing.
