  I'm running a little late with my league. Just now setting it up today.
• Dr. KnOiTaLL

  

  I'm in two leagues. One is a keeper league (based on round drafted and term of contract) and the other is not.
  
  Here's my 10-team keeper draft results:

  1.	(1)	Mike Conley (Mem - PG)
  2.	(20)	Al Jefferson  (Cha - PF,C)
  3.	(21)	John Wall  (Was - PG)
  4.	(40)	Joakim Noah  (Chi - PF,C)
  5.	(41)	Trevor Ariza (Hou - SG,SF)
  6.	(60)	Terrence Jones (Hou - SF,PF)
  7.	(61)	Michael Carter-Williams (Phi - PG)
  8.	(80)	Bradley Beal (Was - SG)
  9.	(81)	Nikola Pekovic  (Min - C)
  10.	(100)	Greg Monroe (Det - PF,C)
  11.	(101)	Trey Burke (Uta - PG)
  12.	(120)	Omer Asik (NO - PF,C)
  13.	(121)	Gerald Green (Pho - SG,SF)
  14.	(140)	Andre Iguodala (GS - SG,SF)
  15.	(141)	Tim Hardaway Jr. (NY - SG)

  Obviously, all the first round talents were kept, leaving me with a choice of Conley or Bosh in the first. Keepers were Wall, Jefferson, and Noah.
  
  Here are my draft results for a 12-team standard league:

  1.	(7)	Russell Westbrook (OKC - PG)
  2.	(18)	Chris Bosh (Mia - PF,C)
  3.	(31)	Goran Dragic (Pho - PG,SG)
  4.	(42)	Chandler Parsons (Dal - SF,PF)
  5.	(55)	Jrue Holiday (NO - PG)
  6.	(66)	Jimmy Butler (Chi - SG,SF)
  7.	(79)	Bradley Beal (Was - SG)
  8.	(90)	Tyson Chandler (Dal - C)
  9.	(103)	Jeremy Lin (LAL - PG,SG)
  10.	(114)	Jared Sullinger (Bos - PF,C)
  11.	(127)	Trey Burke (Uta - PG)
  12.	(138)	Terrence Ross (Tor - SG,SF)
  13.	(151)	Tristan Thompson (Cle - PF,C)

  I've never played but thought of doing it this year. My interest in the NBA has been very limited the past few years.

  I don't like it as well as fantasy football but I've played two years now and made the championship both years, so I keep playing.

  Doing my first fantasy basketball league in 7 years, got forced into doing it. It's a H2H points league with only 8 people. I only know fantasy basketball drafting strategy for a rotisserie league and not H2H points scoring so I have a feeling I'll draft a completely terrible team.

  Haha I'm doing the same type of draft should be interesting since I've never done one. Saw on ESPN they did a mock and the guy selected Durant 1st overall. I somehow got the 1st pick for this draft lol.

  I wouldn't take Durant earlier than 6th (in any league bigger than my 8 teamer) because if you took him, say, 3rd your next pick isn't until 18. Yeah if you hit the rest of your picks then Durant's absence won't hurt. But that's never a given in a fantasy draft.

  Durant went 22nd in my draft.

  Roto or h2h?
• bigdaddy2003

  

  H2h
• Iliketurtles

  

  Yeah I'm not taking Durant I just thought it was interesting. This is a 10 man H2H league... Durant is currently ranked 22nd. Draft starts in 4 minutes and only 3 other people are in here so hopefully they don't take him lol would love it if he feel to me in the 2nd round.
• Iliketurtles
