I've identified my guys that I think are in for big years and as long as anyone doesn't take them early, I try to snatch them up in every league. I guess that's how I ended up with Brad Miller in every league I'm in this year. Also, I find that the more leagues I play in, the tougher it is not to be a favoriter.

Although the Bulls are pretty good, so let's bump that up to 4%. So you've drafted over 3 times the number of Bulls than would be expected. That smells like a homer to me. Although, at least you didn't draft Ben Wallace in any leagues. That would be the clearest indication of any homerness.

Okay, maybe more than a bit. In 4 leagues, I've got Kirk Hinrich twice, Tyrus Thomas twice, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, and Andres Nocioni. Of course, I'm also a "favoriter" in that... I've got Andre Iguodala twice, Andrea Bargnani twice, Dwight Howard twice, Lamar Odom twice, Elton Brand twice, Jorge Garbajosa twice, and picked up Matt Carroll as a FA in 2 leagues. And I actually had Hinrich autopicked for me 1 of the 2 times... so really, having that many 7 Bulls amounts to only 13% of all my picks. This requires further analysis...
