We Live Basketball

We know you do as well, or you wouldn't have stayed up all night watching Olympic hoops from Beijing, or you wouldn't be finding yourself mesmerized by preseason games on NBA TV, or following the Stephon Marbury situation on a daily basis. Rotoworld's Draft Guide has all the information, tools, and answers you need on tough questions, like why Amir Johnson and David Lee will likely start for the Pistons and Knicks. In our guide you'll learn how the rest of Fantasy Nation is too concerned with "the demise of Jason Kidd." While Kidd does come with some risk risk, our Average Draft Position information indicates that he is going later than he should.

Drafts are all about value, and the potential reward by taking Kidd in the fourth round outweighs the risk posed by him not scoring many points this season. He's still Jason Kidd and he's still going to rack up fantasy production - especially after getting an entire training camp and preseason under his belt with his new team. You'll get helpful tips like these throughout the guide.

Constantly updated rankings and Projections

Player value is not static, so your draft guide shouldn't be either. If an injury happens, our rankings and projections will reflect the change. If a player climbs the depth chart, he is likely to climb our projections as well. It is really starting to look like David Lee may start at center for the Knicks. We went ahead and adjusted our rankings accordingly, moving Eddy Curry down (not that there was much farther to drop him) and Lee up. In addition, as more and more information about injuries to Monta Ellis, Gilbert Arenas and Manu Ginobili emerge, the farther they fall down our list.

So many owners fail at fantasy basketball because they go to a draft with stale cheat sheets. In two days since the start of training camps, players like Maurice Evans, Wilson Chandler, Sean May, Trevor Ariza, Matt Barnes, Russell Westbrook and Dominic McGuire have all seen a positive change in value. Over 375 players are ranked, projected, and profiled.

Customized Cheats Sheets

There are almost as many fantasy hoops scoring systems as there are fantasy hoops leagues. And if you are using a cheat sheet that isn't tailored to your specific league, you are selling yourself short. Use your scoring system and our customizable projections to create easy-to-print cheat sheets for your league.

Our Exclusive Tiering System

We will give you hundreds of pages of profiles, columns, and statistics, but our Tiering System may be all you need to take with you to your draft.

Each draft is different, and our tiering system gives owners flexible strategies to win at every position. Tiers recognize that it's not just who you take, but getting value when you take them, and who might be available with your later picks.

The Deepest Content

Where do we start? Beyond our in-depth player and team profiles, we have columns on the fantasy impact of all the offseason changes, free agent moves, sleepers, busts, injuries, rookies, and Mock Drafts you can handle. We even have a schedule breakdown column for those of you in weekly transaction leagues, as well as expert advice (and humor) provided by beat writers and television analysts around the NBA.

Like the projections, all the content is ever-changing and will be updated until the season starts.

Quality Is Job One

Fantasy basketball is not a second job for us. Our primary hoops writers cover the sport year-round, giving a depth of quality. There is no crash course before each season as our "experts" catch up with what's happening. We've been following every story, every day.

We love basketball

It sounds simple enough. Of course we love basketball, and specifically fantasy basketball. Who doesn't? But a lot of websites seem to love being "experts" or selling their games more than creating content.

Loving basketball keeps us posting news updates well after the West Coast games end around 2 AM. In fact, we're not even sure when we sleep. Loving hoops keeps us digging for the nugget on a third-string center (Hamed Haddadi, anyone?) that could turn your season around. Loving basketball keeps us humble with the knowledge that we'll never have all the answers, so we better keep looking for the truth behind the headlines.

That's why we continue to be the most trafficked and completely free fantasy news site on the web. That in-depth and timely news helps inform every page of the draft guide.
