Roto Champ
Every NBA team scored as a roto fantasy team. The title the NBA never hands out.
▶How is it scored?
Roster: every team is its top 10 players by minutes that season. A fixed roster keeps the counting stats fair: no bonus for a deep, injury-churned bench.
Scoring: true roto. The teams are ranked in each of the 9 categories (FG% · FT% · 3PM · PTS · REB · AST · STL · BLK · TO; fewest turnovers ranks best), placement points are awarded in each (worst = 1 … best = the number of teams), and the 9 sums add up to the Roto total. Older seasons score only the categories tracked that year.
A team can be Roto Champ without winning the real title: that gap is the whole fun.
