draft 18th december 17.15 pm

I've never played it before, how does this draft work out, like?

Basic principle is that Mark will take us all to the cleaners in the draft as the rest of us don't have a clue how it works. So when he ends up with that blend of Miami/Lakers + Melo you'll know we've been had! haha.

looking forward too this mark. Should be quite a bit better at the fantasy NBA than the NFL cant wait for the season too start now

Not always a benefit picking first. I won my NBA and MLB fantasy leagues last year. I've never won an NFL one. There is about 8 categories players are measured, so you need a mix of rebounding, assists, shooting %, FT %. 3 pointers etc. You get a point per category won so one week may be 5-2-1 as you record, if you better your opponent in that area. It's the best one to do. Players who can play ,ore than one position are ghandy as well.

So it's a proper fantasy draft, i.e. we all start with a certain salary to spend and we pick out of whoever in the league? Can we both have the same players or would you have to 'trade' with people in your league for that?

Assuming there's only 1 of every player about, just like the NBA draft but for every player.

Do players get extra points for winning or whatever? i.e. Will somebody like Rose get crazy points because he plays on the team that wins most, or are players at the bottom clubs, like Blake, like Kevin Love, penalised for losing so many?

Proper fantasy Rob. Not like the premier league stuff. Point solely on the individual, not the team.

CP3 wants a trade to the knicks. Get in.

Gonna web you on this Mark

I've never done it before but I'll give it a go, I probably won't be able to match a statto like you though.

ESPN will pre-rank the players for you. Give you an idea who to take next etc. Just a bit of fun. Keeps nothing games interesting.

come on fellas lets get more people on tis from what i can see theres only 3 teams upto now. It will be a good laugh this
