For fantasy basketball enthusiasts preparing for their drafts, ESPN has assembled a comprehensive draft guide that covers rankings and projections for both head-to-head points and roto/category leagues. The guide also features player profiles, draft strategies tailored to various formats, expert mock drafts, and insights on sleepers, busts, and breakouts from leading fantasy analysts.
On draft day, having a printed rankings cheat sheet is essential for tracking which players have been selected and identifying the best available options. ESPN's draft tips cheat sheet compiles the best pre-draft content, including the top five targets for each expert. Additionally, the NBA schedule grid assists in pinpointing players with favorable playoff schedules and steering clear of those with fewer games.
Key Resources for Draft Success
The draft tips cheat sheet is available as a downloadable PDF, offering sleepers, busts, breakouts, Eric Karabell's 'Do Draft' and 'Do Not' lists, André Snellings' ultimate draft board, and more. For head-to-head points leagues, Snellings ranks the top 150 players using standard ESPN scoring. Similarly, for roto/category leagues, he ranks the top 150 players based on eight categories: points, 3s, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. Both rankings are downloadable as PDFs.
The schedule grid is another crucial tool, allowing managers to plan ahead for head-to-head and weekly matchups by targeting players with quality schedules and avoiding those with fewer games. It is also available for download as a PDF.
