If your fantasy basketball draft is coming up and you've been fortunate enough to get the first pick this year, the good news is that you'll end up with a great player who should carry your team to great levels of success.
On the other hand, deciding who to go with at number one might be a bit of a challenge. Who to pick really depends on your needs, but let's take a look at the possibilities.
If you're into the idea of getting an elite point guard, you'll have to look no further than Chris Paul. No basketball player has been more effective than Paul during the last two years.
Paul's well rounded game gives you stats that you'll typically get out of no other point guard. The most assists in the NBA, the most steals in the NBA, and a point guard who shoots over 50% are all really hard to pass up on.
You might appreciate the versatility of LeBron James though. Having a forward who gets you 7+ assists per game is a rare thing, and it gives you a lot of flexibility at the guard position.
In addition to his assists, he's an exceptional shot blocker and three point shooter. He's also a legitimate contender to lead the league in scoring, and should average somewhere around 30 points per game. He's extremely durable and rarely misses a game due to injury.
Others may argue that LeBron's free throw percentage is a bit low and his turnovers too high, both of which could hurt fantasy teams. Therefore, they prefer the similar stats of Kobe Bryant. While his rebounds and assists are a bit lower, everything else is nearly the same.
While most will go with either Paul or James, it's really a matter of personal preference. Anyone you choose at number one is sure you put some great stats up for your team. Good luck with your draft, and I hope you end up with that number one pick.
