5 Facts You Must Know If You Want To Win Your League
1. An average fantasy basketball team keeps roughly 70% of its drafted players throughout a fantasy season. That means 70% of your season outcome relies solely on your draft.
2. Research of 10-years worth of fantasy basketball data shows that drafting your team to produce certain categories (i.e. blocks, assists, free throw percentage) will guarantee your team's entry into the playoffs.
3. The most abundant statistic in fantasy basketball? Points. That means you don't need to draft a shoot-first guard with your top draft picks.
4. Player projections are an absolute con! In reality, many unseen events such as offensive/defensive playbooks, free-agent signings, and coaching styles affect a player's future stats. Its essential to draft certain positions which produce wins for your team.
5. You don't need to sift through thousands of pages of "advice" from "fantasy experts" to win your league.

Response:
The first two are worth noting. 3 might be true, but it depends on your draft position. The scorer might be the best player to take early in a given season at a given point in the draft. Also, players who score alot are on the floor alot. Chances are they are doing some other good things. Points can be valuable to acquire early, too. Scorers in the mid ranges of drafts tend to be weak in other categories. Picking up a scorer who is excellent across many categories early can be a big even huge bonus, especially if the player is a big. 4 is not true on its face value, although I believe the author of the list is trying to pump up his method of player projections. It's critical to have a good idea of what each year will be like. Projections are key to making good decisions. The part about drafting certain positions is standard knowledge in NBA leagues. Still there aren't any guarantees the most important positions will be well represented at any given point in a draft, especially in deep leagues. Got to cover the big stats. 5 was another attempt to sell the service, but if the author means that you need to develop your own style of draft and season preparation, I agree. I don't see why part of that can't be looking into what the experts have to say. Point here is that the experts are good for a thing or two, and I wouldn't count them out as a valuable source for help. A good system will save hours of work, though...Comments...
