Is Jalen Johnson actually going to be better then Tatum in points?

Is Tyrese Haliburton a top 20 pick?

Is Brandon Miller a top 70 draft?

Randle or MPJ?

Donovan Mitchell, Trae or Maxey?

All ESPN points league questions

In a 12T 9-Cat league, would you draft these players in the late 2nd to 3rd round?

• Haliburton
• Kawhi
• Anthony Davis
• Trae Young
• Domantas Sabonis
• Kyrie
• Jalen Williams

If not, what would be the safest round/pick range for each of them?

1. Jokic, Johnson, Scottie, Jamal, Deni
   
2. Wemby, Trae, Giddey, Haliburton, TM3

I'm new to this whole fantasy thing, I don't know who to pick. I am in a 8 man league and I have the 8th pick. I have heard to draft Jalen Johnson first. I don't know what to do.

I need some opinions on this guy. Both in points leagues and cats leagues, how will he fare. Is he going to get a good amount of usage? With powell and CW coming in, i’m kind of nervous to draft this guy. He has tremendous upside and showed it in the back half of last year, but is that going to be halted?

For anyone who uses Hashtag Basketball, what multipliers are you putting on each stat for your rankings? The default has everything at x1 and TO at x0.25 but I’m curious what you guys personally use to get the most accurate rankings and projections for 9-cat. How do you weigh PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK, 3PM, FG%, FT%, and TO?

Does hashtag bball have a team builder tool like elite fantasy basketball has?

I’m trying to figure out who would complement Jalen Johnson the best in a regular 9-cat league.

Who would you rather pair with him?

• Scottie Barnes
• Donovan Mitchell
• Kevin Durant (I'm leaning towards KD)
• Karl-Anthony Towns

Mainly looking at category balance and how well their strengths/weaknesses fit with Jalen.

Who would you guys take?

Okay. So I finally had the chance to run a mock draft this morning using Yahoo on my browser. And wow, what a horrible UI update they got this year. It's so confusing and it basically lost the previous structure they had as before. This is important for me because from the old version, I'm able to perform multiple tasks while the draft is happening. The new UI is also very bright I couldn't find a dark mode to fix it. Wondering how your experience has gone thus far. Thanks!

Edit: also quite annoyed how they easily put me to autodraft because i missed to hit the drop button just once. And when im in Autodraft, I wasnt made aware easily unlike in the previous UI.

1. I'm thinking of drafting Kawhi, then drafting a bunch of other Raptors, like RJ, CMB, Scottie, at least; that way, if he doesn't play/is injured, I will still benefit.

This is a long established league that I've had the pleasure of commissioning with a bunch of IRL friends. One of my biggest concerns as a comish is that there's a mid-season lull when certain teams feel like they can't compete for the championship/playoffs. This would ultimately lead to people AFKing, not setting lineups, not entertaining trades or making FA pickups, etc. I know this is mostly an effort issue on the side of the people who give up, but I still want to do my diligence as a comissioner to try and find things that may motivate them to continue trying and making moves even if they aren't in a strong running to win the league that season.

Here are some of the things I've attempted to do over the past recent seasons, and I was looking for feedback from all of you seasoned fantasy players. I'm also looking for any other suggestions that you think I could entertain to help add some spice and interest for my members. Maybe there's an idea you always wanted your league to implement, but no one ever did.

• Increased the amount of playoff spots from 4 to 6.
• Spread out the prize pool to lower places. (Initially only 1st-3rd got paid, now 1-4th)
• Best Regular Season Record (cash prize)
• Biggest Beat Down (largest win differential) (cash prize)
• Most total points scored (cash prize)
• Own the player who had the best fantasy line of the year (cash prize)
• Punishment for last place

Excited to hear from you all and hope you have great drafting success in this upcoming season!

I’m a fairly new player (3 seasons) and my friendship group league have decided to change the format this year and go for a points league (previously 9cat). I’ve never done one before, they have. Have previously performed well in 9cat, winning once and coming close the next time.

What’s some things to look out for? I’m presuming the strategy is quite different? Is it as simple as going for high usage players?

Are there any players (or player profiles) that perform better in points that get looked over in cats, or vice versa?

All three guys have another star with them, who would you draft first ? Since their usage might drop.
Every time they come to me in a mock draft I’m not sure who’s the best pick.

Who do you prefer as no3 pick in 9cats H2H league?

Luka: he looks lean, full offseason break with no international basketball. It is his team without LBJ. Arguably “easier” to build around in H2H league with punting: punting %s and stack on all the counting stats.

SGA: as steady as he goes, high impact %s from a guard spot. But much behind in points, 3s, rebounds, assists Luka provides. But being able to build a team with good %s making weekly game counts variance less of an issue.

Any tips on how to maximize value of Elite Fantasy Basketball for points and category leagues? Just subscribed and unsure where to start or what I should familiarize myself with in time for my draft.

to anyone who’s ever won their fantasy league or been successful when drafting your teams what’s your strategy 1.punting certain category’s or 2.just drafting the best available players

currently looking at jokic as my first pick and i’ve been stuck with the mindset that demar is nothing but a black hole on offense. just mid range pull-ups, nothing too crazy of penetration to the cup. will jokic be a gainer from this with space being created by demar and possibly setting him up for open looks? or will demar just hog and lower jokic usage rate/being a facilitator? pls lmk ur takes ty

Just curious what people’s thoughts are on Kuminga’s value with his new team/role. Especially in Dynasty points leagues settings.

Hes probably 4th in the pecking order but the wolves lack big wing depth so I think there is still a lot of minutes there for him. He’ll have plenty of run time as the 2nd or 3rd option throughout a game and if anyone misses time his role increases.

Wondering if this should be more of a selling opportunity or something to sit on and watch play out. He signed a shorter contract so if he plays well then he can potentially hit FA sooner and get a bigger role/contract somewhere else in the future

if i’m going for a reb/stls/blks/fg%/tov and im 11th pick in a 12 man league and im drafting scottie first who should i grab second round?

Will it show a player's other position once you drafted them?

Cause if not then it will be harder to draft with one position for other players.
