2017-18 Fantasy Basketball Mid-Round Busts
Every year there are hyped up players taken in the middle of fantasy drafts who end up sorely disappointing. Remember Nikola Mirotic last year? Savvy fantasy owners will identify these overrated players in advance and avoid them on draft day in favor of safer mid round options. Today we'll identify four overrated mid-round busts to […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The best way to lose your fantasy basketball draft is to blow your early round picks on guys who don't perform like early round picks.

Trevor Crippen's NBA Late-Round Must Owns (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The old adage is that you don't win your leagues in the first few rounds, but you certainly can lose them. While I don't agree with that -- you can absolutely win a league with a first round pick as dominant as Harden or […]
EuroBasket Recap: How Did the NBA's Best Look?
This year's EuroBasket was one of the richest if we look at NBA players who featured in it. How a player performs for his national team can be a good cheat sheet come draft day. You may be able to get some value picks or even steals who smash their ADP as not too many […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Kyle Kuzma
Position: PF Team: Los Angeles Lakers Draft Spot: 1.27 Analysis: Every year there is a player that is drafted significantly later than they should be and they become a dark horse for the Rookie of the Year award. This year, that honor belongs to Kyle Kuzma. He was not a hot prospect coming out of college, but he has […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Caleb Swanigan
Position: PF/C Team: Portland Blazers Draft Spot: 1.26 Analysis: Swanigan is a player that was dominant in the NCAA, but did not project well in the NBA. That caused him to slide on draft day, but he was still selected in the late first round. It seems as if those skills have translated to the NBA, though, as Damian […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: John Collins
Position: PF Team: Atlanta Hawks Draft Spot: 1.19 Analysis: Collins was one of the favorite prospects in the draft. He fell a bit because he did not necessarily project as well as others in the draft. He also faced slightly lesser competition at times last season while playing for Wake Forest. He was drafted into a great situation in […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: D.J. Wilson
Position: PF Team: Milwaukee Bucks Draft Spot: 1.17 Analysis: Wilson is the exact type of player that the Bucks love drafting. He's a 6'9" player that has ball skills and shooting range. Does this remind you of anyone? How about Giannis Antetokounmpo? Wilson is a bit smaller and does not quite project the same as Antetokounmpo, but it makes […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Justin Jackson
Position: SF Team: Sacramento Kings Draft Spot: 1.15 Analysis: Jackson is a three-year starter at North Carolina that progressed in each of his seasons. He ended his career as the ACC Player of the Year, which was no easy feat with players like Luke Kennard and Dennis Smith Jr. also gaining votes. Ultimately, Jackson was drafted by the Sacramento […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Lauri Markkanen
Position: PF Team: Chicago Bulls Draft Spot: 1.07 Analysis: Markkanen was seen as a lottery pick, but most mock drafts predicted he would not be selected in the top-10 picks. It was far from shocking that the Bulls opted to draft one of the best big men in the draft after trading Taj Gibson to the Thunder. This is […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Jonathan Isaac
Position: SF/PF Team: Orlando Magic Draft Spot: 1.06 Analysis: Isaac was a player that was being mocked as high as the top-3 to outside of the top-10. He is an extremely athletic prospect that comes with plenty of untapped potential. With that being said, he is entirely too small for the NBA right now, and he will need to […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Josh Jackson
Position: SF/PF Team: Phoenix Suns Draft Spot: 1.04 Analysis: Jackson is a player that could have been drafted higher, but he essentially made the decision of what team he wanted to go to. The Boston Celtics tried to bring Jackson in for a workout and interview, but he refused. It was suggested that he wanted to play for Phoenix, […]
NBA Rookie Fantasy Profile: Jayson Tatum
Position: SF/PF Team: Boston Celtics Draft Spot: 1.03 Analysis: There were plenty of question marks surrounding Tatum on draft night. Some organizations saw Tatum as the best player in the draft, while others did not even believe he was the best at his position. The Celtics were happy with taking the most NBA ready prospect, though, making Tatum the […]

King, Joker or Jack of Assists? Who to Pick 9th in Fantasy Basketball Drafts
The popular opinion these days, at least on the fantasybball subreddit, is that the top eight picks in fantasy basketball are Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Karl Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Leonard. So if we take this group of players as the "top tier", who is the leader […]

Chris Paul is a Rocket - What's the Fantasy Fallout?
After the underwhelming NBA playoffs, an overwhelming offseason has taken the NBA and fantasy world by storm. With the Celtics swapping their 1st pick for more assets and the 3rd pick with the 76ers, Jimmy Butler and Paul George finding new homes, and former huge talent PGs that fell out of favor with their original […]
