Being able to get a top-4 asset is always a good start.
But in the years I've been playing this game, there is no "BEST pick in a draft"
Draft well throughout the draft and you can win, regardless of your draft position in the first round.
Like the real game it simulates, fantasy hoops is a team sport.

What type of league H2H, Dynasty...
What are the categories

I'd say somewhere in the top-5 this year, given the potential dropoff between Giannis types and Jokic types...

Agree with Dan, particularly when you combine that drop off with the relative plateau through to the end of the second round.

5 + 19 will be worth more than 6 + 18.

I agree 1-4 are the best. Currently have top pick but noticing the end of the second start of the third is limited for value.
Thinking of trading my 1st pick with a 3rd or 4th pick and want to see people’s opinions

Is it a year long 9-cat league?
If so, I think AD, Gianis, KAT, Harden, Curry are best. I would trade down to stay in top 5 an move up in 2nd or 3rd round.

Give me pick 4! That way I’m guaranteed one of AD, Harden, KAT or Curry...all who have potential to finish no.1 overall, and then Im getting another pick in at pick 21 (assuming we’re talking 12-team snake draft) a bit sooner than if I had had the no1 pick and waiting till no.24.
