Fantasy basketball can feel overwhelming at first—league types, draft formats, waiver rules, percentages, and statistics all competing for your attention. Fantasy Basketball 101: A Beginner’s Crash Course turns that confusion into clarity. It teaches new managers how to navigate every phase of the season with precision, confidence, and enjoyment.

This book walks you through every foundational concept: choosing the right league format, understanding category and points scoring, balancing your roster by position, and mastering the draft process. You’ll learn how to identify value beyond scoring totals, manage injuries, make efficient trades, and exploit scheduling advantages other managers overlook.

Each chapter delivers clear, actionable strategy rather than vague tips. The writing blends data awareness with real-world practicality—showing not just what to do, but why it works. Whether you play on ESPN, Yahoo, or Sleeper, you’ll discover how to read player stats properly, avoid common rookie mistakes, and adjust when slumps or surprises hit.

Beyond gameplay, the book explores the social side of fantasy—league communication, negotiation, and community building—because great leagues run on connection, not just competition. It teaches you to manage confidently, think strategically, and have fun every step of the way.

Perfect for first-time players or anyone who wants a solid foundation, Fantasy Basketball 101 transforms casual fans into capable competitors ready to draft smart, manage efficiently, and stay one step ahead all season long.
