While luck plays a role in fantasy basketball, preparation is the difference between a mid-table finish and competing for a championship. That's where the RotoWire fantasy basketball draft kit comes in.

Whether you've been playing for decades or are new to the hobby, there's something for everyone in the draft kit and is an essential part of preparing for your NBA fantasy draft.

From projections to rankings and the latest news on the game's biggest stars, the tool kit is great for getting ready for draft day and to use throughout the season as you try and win a championship.

What's Included in a Fantasy Basketball Draft Kit

The RotoWire fantasy basketball draft kit is designed to help managers of all levels crush their NBA fantasy draft. Here's what you'll find inside:

  • Customizable fantasy basketball rankings with expert opinion and tips ahead of draft day from our award-winning team of writers.
  • Nightly and updated NBA projections for smarter lineup and waiver decisions. Which players' stats fit the build of your team? You'll have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.
  • A detailed NBA fantasy draft cheat sheet for quick reference.
  • Insights on sleepers, busts and breakout players.
  • The latest updates from the NBA injury report.

How to Apply Draft Kit Insights to Your Fantasy Draft Day Strategy

No two fantasy drafts are the same; there will always be surprise selections or bids that throw a wrench in your initial plans.

  • RotoWire's fantasy basketball draft kit allows players to pivot on the fly.
  • Players can also use custom draft software to sync their league up and watch projected standings and point totals play out in real-time during the draft.
  • Your NBA fantasy draft cheat sheet will be your guide, but the entire tool kit lets you seamlessly make changes once your draft begins and continues to be valuable throughout the entire season.

Draft Kit Tools Every Beginner Needs to Know Before Picking Players

Beginners will become experts in no time thanks to the fantasy basketball draft kit.

  • For those taking part in auction drafts, the fantasy basketball auction values will give you a sense of what to expect on draft day when it comes time to bid on certain players.
  • Feel free to add a few dollars to individual players if they've been identified as a sleeper or subtract a few dollars if our team recommends staying away from a certain player.
  • You'll also be able to check the latest news and information on certain players before you draft them. That's important for changes to NBA starting lineups, injuries, and rotational changes based on training camp and preseason play.

All this information is right at your fingertips as you begin your fantasy basketball experience for the first time.

Why RotoWire's Fantasy Basketball Draft Kit is a Game-Changer

The best advice is to dive into each tool that the draft kit provides players. All of it is valuable, whether you're in a casual league or a dynasty league with deep rosters. Checking changes to players' NBA fantasy ADP will give you a sense of the public perception of a player without having to participate in your own mock drafts.

Make sure the draft software works with your host site. Use as many different rankings as possible to get a feel for players you want to target. Players can then customize their rankings based on league settings and will be ready to dominate their draft.

Once the season begins, the tool kit becomes like a co-owner. You'll be able to check daily NBA projections, read news and analysis on the top players on the NBA injury report, and find potential waiver wire pick-ups and trade targets to keep your team in contention.
