Playing fantasy basketball for the first time and I'm pretty new to the sport. I got the first overall pick in a brand new 12 team 2 keeper points league. Just wondering who I should be taking. I've been seeing Harden ranked 1st everywhere but with him not reporting yet and his trade request I don't know if that's a good move to take him with the 1st overall pick.
I would lean Harden then AD for top pick. For points leagues you just want guys that are going to fill it up and Harden put's up points pretty regularly. I fear for AD's rest not allowing him to match Harden's total output. I also don't think Harden is going to be traded unless a team pays a hefty hefty price.
Harden. He'll need to play more than AD for Houston to be competitive.
