Bullets Blog Fantasy NBA

As you may have expected, we decided to turn the NBA playoffs into a fantasy contest. A quick overview of the rules:

• Each team drafts 16 players (6 guards, 6 forwards, 4 centers)
• Each team must draft exactly one player from each team
• The following categories are equally weighted as fantasy points: points, rebounds, assists
• As the playoffs progress, players will be eliminated until the Finals, when each fantasy team will be left with one player from each division champion

We drafted over the course of the past two days. The results:

Mr. Irrelevant for us was Jerome Jordan (NYK), which is a role I'd guess he's used to because he was picked with the explanation "guys I gotta get going but my last pick is someone that I promise nobody else wants: Jerome Jordan."
