A Few Of The Greatest Techniques For Fantasy Basketball
Fantasy basketball has been growing in popularity over the past few years. There’s less luck involved than in fantasy football and its not nearly as long a season as fantasy baseball. For these reasons, fantasy basketball has become my favorite fantasy sport to play.
When you are drafting a team in fantasy basketball, there’s definitely luck involved, but usually the general manager who has the most well-balanced team will be in good positioning for the season.
The hardest stats to get someone good at are blocks and assists. There are a few players who do either of these things exceptionally well. The only one who truly does both is Lebron James.
A quick note. If you happen to be lucky enough to have first pick and Lebron James is available, don’t think about it twice. He is your guy. If you have second pick, I would go Kevin Durant.
When it comes to assists, the players that do it better than the rest are Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo and Steve Nash. If you can get any of these players on your team assists suddenly won’t be such a concern.
When it comes to blocks, some of the better options out there include Dwight Howard, Gerald Wallace and Marcus Camby. While Camby doesn’t score much, he does everything else well and there’s a reason he’s been a top 15 fantasy player for the past 5 years.
Rebounding is also very important, but you want to be careful not to get someone who will tank your free throw percentage. Big men who rebound a lot tend to be mediocre at the line (ahem..Dwight Howard). So if you can get someone like David Lee or Pau Gasol, you will be in good shape.
Lastly, turnovers are the stat that usually end up costing rookie GM’s a lot of ground. You want players on your team with a turnover rate of under 3.0 a game. If someone is averaging 2.0 turnovers a game, that actually helps your team. Anything over 3.0, however is trouble and will hurt your team in the long run.
