Fantasy Draft Tips

  • Factor in a player’s age, since younger players are more likely to progress and older players more likely to have their attributes decrease.
  • It’s a good idea to scout players before drafting them (by hovering over player name and clicking in on Right Stick), to check out badges, attributes, and more.
  • Factor in how saturated with talent a position is. So if a position is thin on talent, that may be a position you want to target early in the draft
  • Keep in mind some of your favorite players that you want on your roster, who may not always be the top players, but you still may want them on your team.
  • Look ahead in the draft order to your next picks to see where future draft picks may go and if you should prioritize drafting a player at a certain time based on that.
  • Be aware of the draft picks and position-needs of other NBA teams, since that’ll indicate what positions they’ll go after next.
  • Versatile players who can play and guard multiple positions can be valuable to give your roster more flexibility. You also can edit a player’s primary and secondary position after the draft.
