Determining the Best Fantasy Basketball to Pick First
Are you excited for a new year of basketball? I know I am, and I’d like to talk about the fantasy element of it. Leagues are in full effect right now, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. This discussion will focus on who to draft at number one, as many people seem to be of differing mindsets this year. No one should complain, as every possibility is phenomenal.
While there are some top-notch players at the top of the pack, it may be difficult to figure out who might best suit your team. Depending on the stats you’re targeting, you may want to go with one of the following players.
First of all, there’s Chris Paul. He was hands down the number one fantasy player two seasons ago, and he wasn’t much worse at all last year.
Paul’s well rounded game gives you stats that you’ll typically get out of no other point guard. The most assists in the NBA, the most steals in the NBA, and a point guard who shoots over 50% are all really hard to pass up on.
While Paul is a great option without a doubt, many will be tempted by the idea of having LeBron James on their fantasy team. They have every reason to be tempted. James is arguably as valuable as Paul, as he contributes just about everywhere, especially when it comes to assists.
In addition to his assists, he’s an exceptional shot blocker and three point shooter. He’s also a legitimate contender to lead the league in scoring, and should average somewhere around 30 points per game. He’s extremely durable and rarely misses a game due to injury.
Others might prefer someone like Dwyane Wade or Kobe Bryant. Both of these players are extremely well rounded, score a ton of points, and give a huge boost to any fantasy basketball team.
Some may even choose to go with a sleeper pick like Kevin Durant or Danny Granger, both fine options as well. Ultimately, the decision is yours and it all depends on the stat categories you’re going after and who appeals to you. As they say, go with your gut.
