Watson will sign a new four-year, $88 million deal to join the Cavaliers, plus a player option and a trade kicker
If you were 2nd pick in 9-cats with 12 people, who would be the best pick knowing Joker is gone?
Leaning towards Shai but have been debating Shai/Luka/Wemby
I'm thinking if it's even worth it to reach Jokic/Wemby/Luka/Shai?
So many good players this year, feels unavoidable that the top guys will be price-inflated, no?
Hey everyone,
For the past 2 years, I’ve been using a fantasy basketball draft tool that showed player projections for different stats and helped me evaluate players during the draft.
The problem is… I completely forgot what website I used 😭. I’ve been trying to find it again, but I can’t seem to remember the name or locate the site. I’m looking for something similar where I can see projected stats for players and ideally use those projections during a fantasy basketball draft.
What websites/tools are you guys using for this? I’d really appreciate any suggestions, especially if you know of a tool that sounds like what I’m describing.
Thanks!
My league has been going for 10 years and is a 10 category H2H league, counting turnovers and double doubles. The DDs as a cat skews heavily towards big men, but it also means there is added value for guys who could chip in double doubles from the assists side. I.E. it wouldn't be ludicrous to take someone like Hali or Trae over Ant for that added value.
My draft philosophy is to never take big men that don't get blocks. I overindex on assists, boards, and blocks generally when drafting (steals can feel like a crapshoot given that someone like Dyson Daniels can average 3 per game one year then drop back down the Earth the next). I never take shot chuckers who are going to destroy my FG% unless they add extreme value in another area like 3 pointers, meaning someone like Paolo ends up lower on my board than most. I usually frontload with all Centers and PGs, filling in the forward spots later in the draft. In mocks though, occasionally, I'll end up with someone like Franz or Hart in the middle rounds.
That being said, rules are meant for breaking. If a guy like Sabonis or Sengun slips below pick 35, even though they don't get blocks, some guys you just can't pass up on, especially when they add assist value like those guys.
My league is hypercompetitive with constant waiver wire activity, and using this philosophy, I have had repeated success, almost always finishing top 3. We play a bit with the settings and our bench is 8 players deep and we have 3 UTIL spots, so these drafts end up very deep. I won't always draft the top guy available on my board, as sometimes, a guy I have much higher than other people may be available in the next round, but I generally try to stick to my board.
All that being said, here is my top 150 for next season. Would love to discuss and debate rankings with anyone who feels so inclined.
As you know, Jokic-Sabonis was a frequently used duo. Will Cam Boozer be preferred over Sabonis this year? For 9Cat H2H
Don’t they usually open mid August?
Every preseason we see lots of posts about sleepers however, a lot of the names dropped are players that already broke out and about to take a leap into stardom.
There is a fine line between a breakout and a sleeper but the way I see it is that a breakout is a player that has never been that good and suddenly is whilst a sleeper is a player that is available later in drafts than he should be.
A bounce back is a player who has already produced at a level and then lost it, belief is lost, his ADP drops and returns to past production.
Every season we have newcomers to fantasy NBA and these things can be confusing to them so I thought I’d explain it.
Seasoned fantasy managers can drop there favourite, sleeper, breakout or leap player and help the rookie managers out.
I’ve been analysing fantasy NBA since 1999 and I called some player’s recently a breakout and whilst I meant take a leap this season, those that are experienced would of understood that however, newcomers might not.
How do you all see it?
Where are you comfortable taking the Klaw this year?
I always want to have scoring that’s as realistic as possible. I don’t want to make it too complicated that it turns people alway/off from my league. I just want to know if it’s too complicated/not easy to understand. Also if anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear some.

TO: -2

the question, i think there are a few players that come to mind but who do you think is THE comparison
Now that Reid and Knueppel will have more prominent starting rolls… where would you draft them
I keep drafting Knueppel in the 5th or 6th rounds in mock drafts
is there an app with updated default rankings where one can conduct a mock draft? pretty sure the answer is no but wondering if I’m missing something
I decided to work on a draft order website for fun and ended up using it for a couple of my own leagues.
I wanted to share it here and see if any other leagues would actually use something like this. Id also really appreciate any feedback on the website or the games themselves.
It’s still an early version, and I’d like to put more time into improving it if people actually find it useful. For now, I’m mainly trying to get a feel for whether there’s interest in something like this.
It’s basically a collection of different games you can use to determine your fantasy draft order.

Would love to hear what you guys think!
(Keep in mind games are pretty basic so far)
Who would you rather have on your team in a fantasy redraft league and why
Just wondering with Kawhi and where people would have them on their boards, he did have a career year but he’s also 35 and has that looming scandal against him, is he going to play games or would he get suspended? Do y’all just assume the trade goes through and he’s a raptor?
We're getting closer, folks!
What is your favorite and most effective punt strategy for these 9 categories?
At this point in the preseason, what rankings and projection resources do you think are the strongest and worth checking out - free or paid?
What have they done better than alternatives?
