SwishGM is a free AI-assisted fantasy basketball toolkit that turns 2025-26 NBA projections into league-aware player rankings, an AI trade analyzer, punt-build suggestions, and weekly matchup game plans. Its valuation engine is deterministic — per-category z-scores tuned to points, 8-cat, 9-cat, or keeper scoring — and the core tools are 100% free with no account required. Optional Claude-powered AI insights add strategy verdicts and game plans for $5/month.
Yes, but with a clear division of labor. SwishGM's ranking math is deterministic — per-category z-scores and availability discounts do the valuing, not a chatbot. The optional Claude-powered AI then reads those numbers and turns them into plain-language strategy: trade verdicts, punt builds, and weekly game plans. The AI advises on what the math already found; it never invents the underlying values.
Yes — SwishGM's core tools are 100% free and require no account. The draft kit, team analyzer, trade lab, and weekly matchup projections all run on the free deterministic engine. Only the optional AI insights — Claude-powered trade verdicts, punt builds, and game plans — are premium, requiring a Google sign-in and a $5/month subscription.
In points leagues every stat converts to a single combined score, so raw production and usage drive value. In 9-cat leagues you win nine separate categories head-to-head — points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, threes, field-goal %, free-throw %, and turnovers — so efficiency and low-turnover play matter far more. SwishGM re-ranks every player for whichever format you choose.
Yes — SwishGM works alongside any platform, including Yahoo, ESPN, Fantrax, and Sleeper. There is no league sync or import: you enter and manage your roster manually in the app, then SwishGM's rankings, trades, and matchup projections match your league's format and scoring. That keeps it platform-independent, so it works no matter where your league lives.
