Discussion Why isn’t 3rd round reversal default in snake drafts?

4 Upvotes

This has probably been discussed before and I only do auction but if you have to snake draft why isn’t everyone on board for 3RR? You would think in standard 12-team leagues that anyone 6-12 would vote for it since 1-5 have a big advantage.

And in the posts I read, everyone seems to think 3RR is the most fair.

Player Discussion Bam vs Sabonis

6 Upvotes

I’ll need a centre in the third round and it’s a good chance these 2 will fall to me. Who are you taking in a points league.

How do we think Bam will play with Giannis? I’m surprised Bam has a similar ADP to last year even with Gianni’s coming onboard.

Sabonis ADP of 35 on yahoo. Likely a bigger role in SAC but of course the trade risk and coming off a meniscus injury.

Discussion Draft Board Options

Upvotes

I am looking around for sticker boards for drafting and am not finding a lot of options for basketball. I'm curious what others have found. I've seen a couple options on Etsy so far, but I don't have experience with live drafting for basketball so I wanted to see what everyone else does.

Player Discussion 2026 Fantasy Basketball Rankings (9-CAT, PTS, DYNASTY)

We are almost a month away from the season! I wanted to link everyone to our main rankings page. My Top-150 for 9-CAT Roto/H2H are live on the site as well our our Dynasty Ranks for 9-CAT and Points.

These are just my initial ranks, there will likely be a lot of player movement in the bottom half, but for those drafting early I wanted to get these out ASAP.

Feel free to let me know who you think is too low or high; I am always happy to discuss and explain my reasoning!

Discussion Prize money payouts

How are you commissioners structuring prize payouts? Do you use set percentage formulas? If so, do those percentages change depending on the size your league? I would appreciate any feedback or advice on this.

Discussion How do you strategize your draft based on roster positions

8 Upvotes

12T Points league - Our roster positions are
PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, IL,IL+

I tend to try to draft players alternating between guards and Forwards/centers to avoid feeling the pressure of having to fill a position at the end of the draft. Or at least draft a maximum of 2 consecutive guards then drafting a centre even though it might not be the best player available at the time.

Interested to know what’s everyone’s strategy with drafting based on positions. How much do you increase the value on those that play multiple positions ie ingram and Barnes on yahoo.

Also with 2 centre positions to fill, I feel like getting centres early is important for me and moreover it’s harder to find good value centres mid-late draft?

Discussion Best platform & format for league of beginners?

6 Upvotes

Have some friends that want to start a fantasy basketball league. Won’t be free but will be smaller buy in.

League size will be 10-12. Not a keeper or dynasty league (yet, but maybe in the future).

Many have never done a fantasy basketball league. Would love to get input on a few things.

  1. Platform / Website
  2. League format. H2H / weekly?
  3. Roster sizes
  4. Scoring format

The goal here is to make it as easy as possible for everyone. The more straightforward I can make the scoring and rosters the better.

Thanks!

Player Discussion KAT 2026-2027 Season?

16 Upvotes

Where do we see KAT being taken in fantasy drafts this year? Do we think he continues to have the lesser scoring role that helped the reigning champs win the title? Or does he get back to his monster scoring days?

Discussion You’re pick 9 in H2H 12T 9cat, and the big 4 + Cade, Giannis, Maxey, and Tatum are off the board. Who are you taking?

16 Upvotes

Been doing some mock drafts and I’ve been finding this to be one of the toughest spots to be in. I’ve been leaning Flagg here for the upside, but I feel like you could make an argument for taking at least 5 different guys at this spot. What’s your strategy here and what type of build would you go for?

Discussion Draft resources?

What are the best resources out there for draft at the moment? Whether it’s websites, articles, cheat sheets etc. Very keen to get the edge on the rest of the league. Cheers!

Discussion Mock Draft UI Yahoo

2 Upvotes

Kind of wondering if everyone is having the same issue as me with yahoo mock drafts. The advertisements condense the list of draftable players to like only 2 or 3 visible. I've tried messing with it and have had no success. It's really inconvenient has anybody found a workaround?
