For head-to-head leagues, I usually have a couple marginal players that I can drop and pick up whoever is hot. I'll often drop a player who isn't playing that day to get a guy who is, especially if the new guy can help me out in one or two specific categories.\n\nRoto leagues are very different, because of the games played restictions. Stick with your star players, and don't use too many games on scrubs who don't give you good all-around numbers. For that matter, I tend to avoid guys like Shaq who will hurt you in one category while helping you in others. I like my team to be pretty well-rounded.

I would say try to move around on offense, and try to get open where you know you can make a shot. If you don't have a nice touch or are not a 3 point shooter, obviously it does you no good to get open there. However, if you get open within your range, how could they not pass to you? Also, make smart choices. If you teammate has a better look give him the ball. Always look for who has the best shot or the weakest defensive matchup against them.

First of all...congrats on trying out for the team! That's great that you're willing to try something new.\n1) you have to dribble the ball when walking (bounce the ball) if you take more than to steps without dribbling then its a travel\n2) get the round thing through the round thing! \n3) there are 2 hoops. one is for your team and the other hoop is for the other team. make sure you know which direction you're going.\n4) you can't stop dribbling and then start dribbling again...its called a double dribble\n5) There are five people from your team on the court at a time. ask your coach what the different positions are that he would want you to play.\n6) Each shot is worth 2 points, unless it's outside the three point line which means its worth three points. Free-throws are worth 1 point.\n7) there are four quarters in a game. The different times of them vary a little.\n\nThere are a lot more rules, but it would take me a long time to explain all of them. I hope you make your team. Remember, coaches like it when you show them that you work hard and do what they tell you to. Just work hard and have fun!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Offensively, you need to pass the ball a lot.  Mostly use isolation plays with the player who is best at ball-handling.  Sometimes you should have the biggest player come to the perimeter to set a screen for your best shooter.  And sometimes you just need to feed the big man and let him work the lane.  The key is to have a lot of ball movement.  Everyone needs to keep running and moving.\nDefensively, you should play a 2-1 zone.  You should have two smaller players on the perimeter and stick on those sides until you get down low.  The big-man will be down low to stop any drives and get any rebounds.  The big key here is all players must converge to the ball.  When the ball is on the right side of the court, all players need to be on the right side of their zones.  This zone takes practice to master.  If the opponents find holes in your zone multiple times, match up man-to-man with them by size.\n\nThese should give you a start and using those bases you should be able to branch off from there.

The best way is first to sign up and get a league. Then get 1 or 2 magazines and find some good websites. Then Get some rankings. From ther it is all stats. Try to find a system that helps

Keep your eye on the ball. Have precise timing. And be sure to wear good sneakers that hold your feet right.

It's too late to sign up for basketball, and baseball hasn't started yet. To sign up for any Yahoo fantasy sport, make sure you have a Yahoo ID and go to fantasysports.yahoo.com. Every sport has its rules. All of them are free, but they have add-ons (like live stats and extended player rankings) that you can buy if you want.\n\nAnyway, you get in a league with other fantasy managers. Everybody drafts a group of real players, and the stats those players pick up during the year are added to your fantasy team's stats. You can trade players with other fantasy managers if you are weak in one area. Good luck!

Fanball.com is great for a lot of news and injury information. I like it a lot better than ESPN.com since they hide a lot of their content behind their pay site. CBS Sportsline columns also feature some great tips on organizing your upcoming week for head-to-head leagues. Yahoo! is good for weekly spotlight articles. My fave site for pure stats and trade analysis is basketballmonster.com

I've done Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, and I've done CBS Sportsline Fantasy Football.  Sportsline is much better - better stats, better news on the players, better live scoring - you get what you pay for.

Tell GOD thank you for keeping you safe and breathing.

ap4906 is not giving you good advice. I would drop Harpring and maybe Korver if you can find someone better. Look for Gerald Wallace to come off of injury pretty soon, if he's available, go get him.
