Use the tool at Basketball Monster to help your decisions.

Make sure you don't draft guys who put up numbers in 'sexy' stat categories but kill you with turnovers, low fg%, etc (I'm talking to you, Steve Francis!).

I was able to pick up Webber in the 8th round in my Yahoo league. After his monster game last night, that might not be possible.

Donyell Marshall is always an efficient all around player, and will usually be available mid-late. Others in this category are Drew Gooden, Raef Lafrentz, and Shane Battier.

Hard to name sleepers because it depends on your opponents' home cities. First 3 picks are usually obvious. I stayed away from Marbury because I don't trust Larry Brown with fantasy players. For similar reasons you might like Detroit and Memphis players. My draft: which seemed good at the time but I now I have my doubts. 10-team league, I had first pick courtesy of winning the league last year:

1. Lebron
20. Baron Davis
21. Bosh
40. Maggette
41. Richardson
60. Odom (I'm happy with this one)
61. K. Thomas (I'm worried by his PT last night)
80. Nelson (didn't know he's not starting)
81. Hill (I like the idea of having him and a Magic player)
100. Dalembert
101. G. Wallace (lots of good categories
120. R. Davis (off to a great start, but T.J. Ford would have been a nice pick too).

Who's Nelson, and why did you take him with your 8th pick?

Yeah, as I recall he had a big April.

But he didn't start last night, even with Grant Hill out. What do you think of panicking and dropping him for TJ Ford?

I'm pretty sure he went undrafted in most leagues?

Some guys that have shown they are worth more than their pre-season draft ranking displayed are:

Richard Hamilton -- huge points with the new flex offense

Sam Cassell -- he's established himself as leader and is shooting a ton of shots

Antoine Walker -- probably a fluke game but put up some great #'s

Darius Miles -- probably another fluke game but had an insane line last night

Gerald Wallace -- he was playing Chicago and is known to be streaky so take that into consideration

Bonzi Wells -- Sacramento looks crappy and he had a ton of rebounds for them last night

A guy you might want to avoid is T-mac. He is somewhat injured and a risk.
