Got this team today;

Thoughts?

 

[Loki478]

That is a pretty strong team. With Gay and Kawhi you might be a little shy on shooting but Kyrie can make some of that up and you have pretty amazing bigs

 

[Jack Brickman]

Drafted for two teams over the weekend. Both are ten-team leagues.

Team 1:
Derrick Rose
Jimmy Butler
Luol Deng
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard
Rajon Rondo
DeMarcus Cousins
Pau Gasol
Andre Drummond
Tristan Thompson
Joe Johnson
Ben McLemore
Anthony Bennett


Team 2:
Jrue Holiday

Derrick Williams

 

[Rookie]

Both leagues are 10 man leagues. They both look like first place teams to me. I think I have Points, Rebounds and Blocks in the bag for sure. FG and FT% isn't all that bad either. Might have to make a trade for better shooters but I have enough ammo to get it done.

8 team auction with three keepers:

Kyrie Irving (K, 46)
Stephen Curry (K, 10)
James Harden (K, 35)
Blake Griffin (17)
Dwight Howard (49)
Brook Lopez (15)
Rajon Rondo (10)

I fully expect my entire team to be hurt by January, but if they stay healthy they've got some serious potential!

Can someone please help me out? I know NBA basketball well, but I have never played fantasy before and I'm a little confused. I drafted this team in my Yahoo league and I don't understand how the Bench and Utility positions work in fantasy basketball, also not sure how to make sure my starters are starters. Here is my team.

PG - R. Westbrook
SG - K. Thompson
SF - L. James
PF - Tristan Thompson
C - D. Howard
G - A. Iguodala
F - A. Varejao
Util - S. Nash
Util - V. Oladipo
BN - J. Jack
BN - B. Mclemore
BN - Jamal Crawford
BN - O. Asik
BN - O. Porter Jr

I want to start Nash or Oladipo in place of Westbrook, right now they have Crawford automatically replacing Nash and I can't figure out how to start Nash instead. I also want to know what Util players are, does that mean that can play any position, because right now my Util players are Nash and Dipo and I would never use them as anything other than guard.

In fantasy basketball you typically set line-ups by the day (unless your league is set up to do weekly line-ups...consult your league rules page), so you can go through day by day and change your starters just as you would in fantasy football. Basically you're starting everyone that doesn't have BN next to them. Utility is basically just another word for fantasy football's concept of a flex position. You can play any position in that spot and their stats will count as normal.

How many teams are in your league?

 

[Loki478]

I would look at the waiver wire for Patrick Beverly or Reggie Jackson. Steve Nash is a corpse at this point in his career
