Fantasy Basketball question?

For a league that has 20 teams and having the last pick in those 20 teams, (NOTE: how dwight howard can slide all the way to pick 20 is beyond me.) I'd say your team is pretty good. You got 3 legit stars in Dwight, Wally (who's putting up alot of points in BOS, I know, their my team) and McGrady. As long as McGrady stays healthy and Dwight keeps on putting up 20pts and 15reb nightly, I say your team is very good for a league with 20 teams in it.

I think you may need steals on this team.  Your pretty much set at 3 pt FG's.  Also, if there is any player that you may trade at this point in the season, I would look at Hill and Eddy Curry.  Hill has a propensity for getting injured (I know because he has burned me in my fantasy teams in the past) and Curry who is capable to getting 10 rebounds one night and 2 rebounds the next.

I've emailed yahoo fantasy basketball plenty of times and they have told me absolutly nothing I wanted to hear except it's due to heavy volume of people joining the leagues, and techincal glitches. I told myself I wasn't going to purchase this garbage this year but I did it anyway and Im not getting my moneys worth once again. I'm frustrated just like you and I will continue to write these people until the problem is resolved.  Sorry for your troubles too!

For head-to-head leagues, I usually have a couple marginal players that I can drop and pick up whoever is hot. I'll often drop a player who isn't playing that day to get a guy who is, especially if the new guy can help me out in one or two specific categories.\n\nRoto leagues are very different, because of the games played restictions. Stick with your star players, and don't use too many games on scrubs who don't give you good all-around numbers. For that matter, I tend to avoid guys like Shaq who will hurt you in one category while helping you in others. I like my team to be pretty well-rounded.

You can keep track of your old leagues from you Yahoo! profile.  you will probably lose your transactions and posts, but final rosters and standing will be saved.  \n\nthe Yahoo fantasy ranking will change because of the real NBA draft but it is based tightly with Funstons bigger Board: http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/analysis/news?slug=bf-bigboard-football&prov=yhoo&type=lgns&league=fantasy/nfl

Nene recently got "injured" in today's game and Eduardo Najera seems to be the new designated starter in Kenyon Martin's absence.  Taking this into consideration along with the fact that he is no longer "C" eligible (which you mentioned), makes him expendable.  As for Claxton, many fantasy analysts can see a lot of potential in him as he is a starter for the first time in his career.  It is just unfortunate that he got a minor injury recently, but he should be back in uniform soon.  Maybe it would be wise to give Speedy a little more time and keep him on your team.\n\nOverall, I feel that you should dump Nene in favor of Ryan Gomes who is now the Celts starting PF after recording his first triple-double a couple of days ago.  Added to his is that his main backup--Al Jefferson--just had an appendectomy and is out for the next two to three weeks.\n\nLastly, I heard Jason Williams has started practicing again and should be back next week or the week after at the latest.  Help is on the way!  Good Luck!

well first of all it depends on what kind of league ur in.\nhead to head or rotiser. once you know that u gotta understand how to win in each. but these are some guidelines to drafting\n\nif your in the top 5 pick a star who you can ride throught the season. \n\nmake sure you get a quality Center as they are hard to come, and a quality pg. there are many of them, but some have horrible turnovers or fg percent and jack the 3 to much. so get a quality pg\n\nyou also need a flat out scorer like ray allen, redd, j-rich arena's the top scores will be taken, but someone who can put up 25 30 on any given night is key.\n\nremember you dont have to go in that order center pg scorer, just get the best possible person and look to take a chance like if you feel no will will pick up lets say mike bibby till the 4th round take him then, and get a better scorer. \n\nmost importantly remember this conversation\na steal in the nba is worth 10 points and a block is worth 7 points. i say this cause any person can average 30 to 20 points in a game, but the average steal is little less then 2, and blocks is little less then 3. so if you have lets say ak47 or ron artest who will get you like 1.5 steals and 2 blocks a game and still get you 20 points and 8 reboundsa i would take him him over a ray allen who gets you 26 points 3 threes and like 2 steals. \n\nand last pick players you like, i am a raptor fan and i hate what vince carter did to my team. so neva in the 3 years ive played fantasy have i traded for or drafted for that bitch carter.\n\nenjoy the season\nand then look for the best players availble.

You receive scoring for all players in your active lineup, including the Utility position, regardless of where they appear in actual NBA games. Once earned, fantasy points and scoring are not removed even if the player is moved to the bench, waived, or traded to another team.\n\nBench players will not receive stats that count in your score. The purpose of the bench is to allow roster flexibility when players are injured, not scheduled to play, or are performing poorly. We keep track of their stats, which you can find located on your team page.\n\nYour head-to-head match-up screen always displays the current lineup for both teams. Stats can be displayed for bench players if they were active earlier in the week and later moved to a bench position. Since the stats were accumulated when the player was active, they are added to the match-up totals.\n\nPlayers picked up from free agency/trades/waivers only count in your stats going forward from the time you add them to your roster. You do not inherit those points and stats that the player earned while a member of another team.\n-nny

Position eligibility in basketball is always a little stranger than it is in other sports. Part of it might be that the position designations are a little iffy at times. Teams don't always have two guards, two forwards and a center on the floor. Besides, I don't think Yahoo has any set minimums for position eligiblity for hoops. It just is whatever they say it is. You might petition their fantasy sports people to see about getting this player's eligibility changed. If it's the player that I'm thinking of, I imagine quite a few other people have had the same complaint.

I suggest that you keep Redd (who is out of his mind right now leading the league in scoring), Odom (who is a potential triple-double every night), Carter (who is ill right now but can really light up the scoreboard, especially now that Jefferson is out), and Marion (Who can do it all, MIN, PTS, 3 PTS Makes, REBS, ASTS, BLKS, STLS, etc.)\n\nAs for Gerald Wallace, you have what people refer to as a "poor man's Andre Kirilenko" and much like the aforementioned player, Gerald is also injury prone.  He as yet to miss any time, but with the emergence of rookie Adam Morrison and the potential return of center Primoz Brezec, the playing time of Wallace could decrease (hense, less stats).\n\nWhile in Zarundas Ilgauskas, you get a solid center that gives you at the minimum PTS, MIN, REBS (at 8 a game, I think), and BLKS.  On the negative side, he also has a history of injury problems but has seemed to avoid that the last couple of seasons.\n\nLastly, Boris Diaw.  This early into the season, Boris is a big dissapointment, especially when he told his coach that "if he were the coach, he would bench himself as well."  Diaw's fantasy numbers have dipped (he is currently averaging pedestrian numbers which are a far cry from last years 6 rebounds and 6 assists a game effort).  In all honesty, I don't see that improving unless an injury to a team mate forces him to step up and start again or his he regains the fitness that made him last year's most improved player.\n\nI feel that if you can trade Wallace for an established "C" then go for it.  Keep Diaw and Z.  \n\nHope this helps.

It really depends on what your team needs.  With O'Neal you get a PF/C who can give you minutes, points, rebounds, and blocks.  However, he has a history of injuries and has already missed a game for the Pacers this early into the NBA season.\n\nIn Allen, you can put your three point conversions to bed.  He is solid!  Aside from the threes, Ray-Ray gives you minutes, FT%, points, and would you believe, steals this season.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck this season!\n\nIf you are interested in joining another Yahoo!

If you're playing in a total or net league, you'd want to rack up as many numbers as you could. So  you'd want:\nC Duncan\nPF Garnett\nSF LeBron\nSG Kobe\nPG Iverson\n(Positions based off of Yahoo's position-assignment)\nBut if you're playing in a head-to-head league, you'd want to be strong in a handful of categories. So for instance you might take Nash over Iverson, since Nash gives you 4-5 more assists per game, even though Iverson gives you 10 more points per.\nC Duncan/Ben Wallace\nPF Nowitzki\nSF Marion\nSG LeBron\nPG Nash

Well, that's a hard one.  But I would keep ur players (williams and jamison).  David West is out with an injury, so he's not going to help.  Carmelo though, is racking up some big points.  But I like Williams and Jamison.  Williams is doing good with the jazz getting consistent points and assists.  While, Jamison is a good shooting big man who gives u decent points and FG%, not to mention decent rebounding.
