Guys... don't talk to Vince for a little while. He spent a solid amount of this episode bragging about nabbing Bradley Beal in our dynasty fantasy basketball draft, and between our recording and publishing date, the John Wall and Russell Westbrook trade went down. So he's pretty fragile.
But ANYWAYS, welcome back to the Flashy Stats Fantasy Podcast - it's been a while! In this episode, we break down tips, tricks, and various strategies to win your fantasy basketball draft this season. Whether you're doing a snake or auction draft, points or 9 category, re-draft or dynasty, we think that there are some great tips here to give you the edge in your league. We also gave our own personal favorite sleepers (guys like Coby White, Sekou Doumboya, and Mikal Bridges), breakout stars to draft high in the rounds (Brandon Ingram, Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, etc.), and even some guys we think you should stay away from (ranging from Kyrie Irving to Anthony Edwards to the entire Hornets team, including Gordon Hayward). In order, our conversation took us through the following topics:
- Re-cap of different draft types and intro to strategy
- Building your team around stars vs. well-rounded, punting categories, positional tiers, and other basic strategies
- Our sleepers, break-out players, and stay-aways
- Getting distracted and talking about the Chicago Bulls
- Our top 10-12 options for this season
- Dissing Vince and the Hornets
- Outro and how to access our ultimate fantasy basketball dynasty toolkit
And much more!
