    Ok so i'm joining a league with some friends and I know quite a bit about basketball but don't watch many games outside of laker games (live near LA, not a bandwagoner) was wondering if anyone had any tips on player selection etc, draft is at 9:45 pst. Thanks for ur help/input OT.

    You can't go wrong looking at espn.com's player rankings.

    make sure to look up potential sleepers/busts for most teams. I haven't played fantasy bball in a while, but I know that late round draft picks are very important. Also, don't overvalue one-dimensional players (such as those who only get pts, rbs, blocks, but nothing else). Go for well-rounded players who fill up the stat sheet.

    It's head to head, I have the 3rd pick, you've got to assume Kevin durant, and Lebron are going to go 1, and 2...

    I took Paul second. Howard isn't a bad pick.

    Howard is probably a good 3rd pick. Rondo is a huge fantasy guy as well. D Rose probably has a monster year as well.

    How many start? I love slashes especially F/C. Basketball is a youth game. Don't just draft the big name older players. You want guys that fill out a stat sheet. Players that get you bonus points for double doubles are way better than some one who just scores 24 a game like Michael Redd.

    I know i wanted durant so bad :(....I also think a good sleeper pick if he can fall to 2nd round is russel westbrook.

    Mongo like:

    Durant, then Paul and James as 1-3.

    Get them all, and crushification will ensue on a massive scale.

    I don't know where he's ranked or how many are calling this his breakout year, but hop on the Roy Hibbert bangwagon as soon as you can.

    19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists this year MINIMUM. You heard it hear first.
