Step 2: Understand the Scoring System
Get to know the standard categories in detail:
Points (PTS)
Rebounds (REB)
Assists (AST)
Steals (STL)
Blocks (BLK)
Three-Point Makers (3PM)
Field Goal Percentage (FG%)
Free Throw Percentage (FT%)
Turnover Percentage (TO)
Learn the specifics of your league's scoring system:
Standard category system (9CAT, 8CAT)
Additional category system (double-doubles, triple-doubles)
Action-based scoring system
Negative action penalties (turnovers, missed shots)
Develop a strategy around the scoring system:
Identify the most valuable categories
Find underrated statistics
Decide which categories you will strive to dominate
Think about which categories can be sacrificed
Step 3: Pre-draft Preparation
Research the available players:
Look at last season's statistics
Review pre-season rankings
Monitor player transfers and moves between teams
Consider changes in team rosters and coaching staffs
Pay attention to young prospects
Develop your own player rankings:
Make a list of your top 100 players
Assign players by position
Mark potential sleepers
Identify players at high risk of injury or slump
Identify target players for each round of the draft
Participate in mock drafts:
Conduct at least 3-5 mock drafts
Experiment with different strategies
Analyze which round specific players are usually selected in
Note trends and preferences of other managers
Prepare a draft sheet (draft cheat sheet):
Print out current player rankings
Color code the different categories of players
Create a list of target players by round
Prepare notes on key player stats
Step 4: Develop a draft strategy
Choose a base strategy:
Balanced approach (spread evenly across categories)
Punch strategy (dominate multiple categories)
Star roster strategy (focus on getting elite players)
Deep roster strategy (spread talent evenly)
Position strategy (focus on specific positions)
Tailor the strategy to your draft position:
Early picks (1-3): Opportunity to draft a superstar
Mid picks (4-8): Balanced approach
Late picks (9-12): Pivot strategy (pick on the edge of rounds)
Aware of position gaps:
Determine the "depth" of each position (number of quality players)
Assess which positions have the biggest talent gaps
Plan when to draft players at scarce positions
Prepare for different scenarios:
What to do if your target players are selected early
How to adapt your strategy during the draft
A backup plan for each round
Step 5: Participate in the draft
Prepare technically:
Make sure your internet connection is stable
Log in 15-20 minutes before the draft
Have all necessary materials (ratings, notes)
Close distracting programs and applications
Follow your strategy, but be flexible:
Stick to your plan
Monitor other players' selections
Adapt to unexpected situations
Take advantage of opportunities (when a good player is available later than expected)
Ensure roster balance:
Adhere to positional requirements
Monitor statistical categories distribution
Stagger player selections with high potential and stable performers
Don't forget about the bench
Finish the draft by analyzing your team:
Assess the overall balance of the team
Identify strengths and weaknesses in categories
Identify potential problem positions
Make a preliminary plan to improve through trades
Step 6: Set the starting lineup
Analyze the first week schedule:
Identify which NBA teams play more games
Consider the quality of opponents (difficulty of games)
Pay attention to back-to-back games (games on consecutive days)
Assign players to positions:
Assign the starting lineup according to positional needs
Place versatile players in Util positions
Determine the optimal rotation for players on the bench
Set up daily notifications:
Set up notifications about player status (injuries, rest)
Turn on game start notifications
Activate weekly reminders about shifts composition
Develop a monitoring system:
Create a list of key metrics to track
Determine how often you will check the statistics
Set up alerts for important events in the league
