Fantasy basketball draft kit

The SwishGM Draft Kit is a free fantasy basketball draft board that value-ranks every player for your exact league — points, 8-cat, 9-cat, or keeper — and pairs the big board with a recommended roster. In category leagues, toggle up to three categories to punt and the board instantly re-ranks every player around that build. No sign-up required.

Who should I draft in fantasy basketball?

Draft the best available value for your league's format, not a generic ranking. SwishGM builds a value-ranked big board tuned to points, 8-cat, 9-cat, or keeper scoring, then gives live pick recommendations during your draft that update as players are taken. It also suggests a recommended roster so you balance categories instead of stacking a single stat.

How are 9-cat rankings different from points-league rankings?

In 9-cat, a player's value comes from how far above or below average they rate in each of nine categories, so efficient, low-turnover players and specialists rise. Points-league rankings reward total production and usage in one combined score. SwishGM recomputes each player's z-scores and value for whichever format you select, so the same player can rank very differently.

What is a fantasy basketball draft kit?

A fantasy basketball draft kit is a prepared toolset for draft day: a value-ranked big board, roster guidance, and live pick help. SwishGM's free draft kit ranks every player for your league format, recommends a balanced roster build, and updates its best-available pick suggestion in real time as your draft unfolds — no account needed.

Do I need an account to use the draft kit?

No — the SwishGM Draft Kit is free and needs no account. You can build your board, get a recommended roster, and use live pick recommendations without signing in. An account and a $5/month subscription are only required for the optional AI insights; the entire draft kit itself runs on the free deterministic engine.

What does punting mean in the SwishGM Draft Kit?

Punting means deliberately conceding one or more categories to dominate the rest of the board. Toggle up to three categories in the punt bar above the board and every player's value instantly re-ranks around that build — free, with no account required.
