Frequently Asked Questions

OneNumberHoops is a crowdsourced dynasty basketball platform. Rankings and trade values update continuously from community comparisons, expert guidance, and a smoothing algorithm designed specifically for hoops.

You (and the community) make quick player comparisons to submit. Those inputs flow into our ELO-style model to generate a single number for every player. The more activity, the sharper the market.

Dynasty is the focus today. Redraft and keepers are on the roadmap. Our default context assumes a 12-team league with points scoring.

Every day. Any time users submit comparisons, trades, or feedback, values can shift.

Yes. Rankings and the trade calculator are completely free to use while we grow the dataset and community.

From a blend of user comparisons, expert ranking/tiering, and an ELO-based curve that respects scarcity at the top while keeping sensible separation through the middle and late tiers.

Basketball value is fluid — usage, injuries, trades, and hype change fast. Our live pipeline reflects that.

Yes. Use the contact form linked at the bottom of the page. If there’s demand, we add them quickly.

Analysts help shape tiers and sanity-check edges. They don’t overwrite the community — they stabilize it.

We sum values for both sides, add value adjusment where needed, apply a fairness variance(that you can adjust), and show the result on a visual bar. Everything runs off the same live rankings used elsewhere on the site.

It’s a visual gauge: blue when inside your acceptable variance window, red when outside. The shaded box shows your variance range centered on 50/50.

When one side consolidates talent (e.g., one stud vs multiple mid pieces), we add an adjustment that reflects roster compression and star power. This prevents ‘3 for 1’ spam from looking fair when it isn’t.

Just a fantasy basketball nerd building tools I wished existed.
