You’ve been keeping tabs on every big moves in the nba sports world so that when you finally draft your fantasy team, you are confident that you know which players to pick. If you are prepared then you won’t have a hard time when draft day comes. You’ll be calm and confident but this isn’t the reality for most people unfortunately. There are those who fail in their preparation and in the long run lose the game.

As the NBA preseason kicks off, many of you will be preparing for your fantasy NBA drafts. Most of you will be doing live and auto-pick drafts online, while a few will be participating in the coveted offline draft. No matter what format you play, you will need a strategy so you can be successful against the ever-improving “average fantasy player.”

Rank the players
The first thing to do is to establish your personal player rankings. Create a top 10 list to make it easy for Point Guards, Shooting Guards, Small Forwards, Power Forwards and Centers as well as the next-best players list and guys to not sleep on for each position. Try to add a sleepers list from all teams too.

In rankings, use the previous stats of players from last season or last year, lines from their entire career, their averages and also evaluating how much untapped potential the player has. You should also look at their injury history. Does the player misses games each year or he has a nagging injury? How easy is it for the player to come back from injury? This will definitely give you a better picture of the player. Do not choose a player because he is your favorite, intuition and favoritism are one of the plagues that will weigh you down on your victory. A technique here is to not look at the names of players when looking at their stats, some fantasy managers would solely look at stats of a player and they would ignore the name. You can try that one too.

In fantasy NBA, most players are allowed to play multiple positions so don’t worry that you wound up with a team of small forwards since some of them can play shooting guards and some can also play power forward. You should concern yourself more with the talents of each player. Rank your players position in order to give you a broader scope. There is also trading if in case you wind up overstocked at one position.
