Wednesday, March 7th
Good afternoon Grinders! Welcome to our newest addition to DRAFT Premium. Each day, I will go over the NBA slate with tier rankings for head-to-head, three man, and six man drafts. I’ll also provide a brief slate analysis as to how to attack drafts for the slate.
A couple notes to remember about DRAFT contests. One, there is no salary cap so you’re not worried about fitting players in on a budget. Raw fantasy points is what matters most, not the popular point per dollar. Second, while there is no late swap, if a player is ruled out, you will be able to swap them out. For more information on how this works, read the DRAFT Swap Rules Page – for this reason you can take some marginal chances in the later rounds on players that are questionable to play. Last, roster requirements are two guards, two forwards, and one center. All analysis and rankings will be based on that.

We have a seven game slate today with the three late games standing out as they all come in with totals topping 224 while none of the earlier four games top 216. It’s pretty close between Anthony Davis and LeBron James in regards to the top overall pick. Brow has the higher projection, but after leaving last night with an injury and playing on the second night of a back-to-back, I’m going to give the edge to LeBron.
