First Time NBA Fantasy Player

[JokersWild24]

Any advice? I'm doing my first draft on Tuesday and don't really have the first clue about what to be doing. I'll be pulling some 12 hour days, plus the commute of an hour each way, between now and then, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

My league isn't roto, it's head to head-to-head matchups each week.

 

What are some good draft strategies?

 

Who are some good analysts, especially for advanced stats?

 

Who are some sleepers and busts?

[sweet16]

PIck the players that are going to have the best stats.

I've played fantasy NBA for several years and actually won my league last year. We typically do an auction draft, so draft style is a little different. I'm willing to spend a lot of money on 3-5 players, and take my chances with the waiver wire.

 

Do you know draft order yet? That makes a huge difference, as there are 2 elite options (LBJ & Anthony Davis) followed by Durant (only due to his injury) and then the rest of the crowd.

 

Assuming you have FG% & FT% as categories, avoid guys that are plagues (i.e. Deandre Jordan & Dwight Howard). You simply cannot overcome a guy that shoots 45% from the FT line in a head-to-head matchup.

 

Primarily, I look for elite scorers. Sometimes those guys are 6th men (i.e. Jamal Crawford & Jason Terry, in the past). You need guys on your team that are going to be relied on to score, and score a lot. Then, you can fill the gaps with guys that will get 10 & 10 (i.e. JJ Hickson, Tristan Thompson, John Henson)...those guys will shoot a fairly high FG %, get their fair share of rebounds, and occasionally get some blocks.

[PurplePride92]

Picking guys that are above average in more than two stats is key.

 

There is give and take in all of them.

 

Big guys-generally give good FG%, rebounds and blocks. The special ones are above average in steals, 3PTs and points.

 

Guards-give good FT%, 3PTs, assists and steals. The special ones have good FG%, rebounds and FG%.

 

Target guys that are double-double machines and guys capable of giving a triple double on occassion.

 

It goes without saying that Lebron and KD are the top two players.

 

Lebron gives points, FG%, 3PTs, rebounds, assists and steals. He also gives decent blocks and decent FT%.

 

KD gives FG%, FT%, 3PTs, rebounds. Decent assists and steals. KD's percentages are so high that he's an easy pick at #2. he is injured but I'd still take him top 5. Injuries that aren't longer than 2 months don't hurt much in fantasy basketball if you draft properly. I'd still take KD in the top 5 today easily.

 

Steph Curry is a good one at #3.

 

Anthony Davis is a top 5 player now as well.

 

 

I'd do a mock draft first if I were you just so you can have a general idea of who gets picked when and go from there. You don't have to reach in fantasy basketball if you know what you are doing. People see "names" instead of the "stats" a lot in fantasy basketball.

I won my league last year with this team:

I honestly think Anthony Davis is the #2 player this year, ahead of Durant. Davis is special in so many categories, assuming he can stay healthy.

 

The key is tailoring your team to the league's stats. For example, if 3-pointers made is a category (like it is in mine), then Steph Curry's stock RISES to the top because he's a 3-point machine. Guys like Kyle Korver, Ray Allen, & Channing Frye suddenly have some value because they'll contribute to one specific stat.

 

One thing that I have learned is that you frequently rely on waiver wire players down the stretch. Last year, I dropped probably five (5) players in the final weeks of our fantasy playoffs for various reasons. NBA Rosters change, and when teams fall out of contention, they are quick to get a rookie some PT...which transforms a waiver wire player into a significant contributor.

No argument from me on any of this. Looking at the team I posted when I won the league last year I noticed a few who were late season waiver wire pickups who carried my team to the title.

The strategy I found most fruitful was to trade with PP92.

I have #1 pick, do I go out on a limb and take Davis?

No. No Sir.

I fully believe if Davis is healthy all year he will be #1 in fantasy.

Then do it. It's your pick and you won't get Davis via the draft any other way. I know on Twitter you said trading picks wasn't allowed, but if you could work out a trade to happen post-draft with the #2 pick you could do it that way.
