This will be my first year doing an ESPN league, so can I just ask why so many people dislike Yahoo's fantasy basketball?

ESPN does have better draft graphics but that's the only thing I like differently on ESPN. It's basically the same as a lot of things in this world. Once a few people dislike something, the masses pile on just because it's the "popular" opinion.

ESPN has a cleaner presentation. Yahoo just looks outdated.

ESPN's real time stat updates are incredibly better. Yahoo requires a page load upon every lineup change. ESPN's available player page is immensely better. Yahoo default sorts by Opening Yahoo rank, which is completely ridiculous. There are more, but there are PLENTY of reasons why Yahoo is inferior, and this is from someone who was strictly a Yahoo player until a couple of years ago. ESPN makes it more fun and less time consuming to research and modify.
 
I will say I've noticed one cool thing about ESPN. If you have to autopick your draft, in addition to ranking players, you can also put a strategy in place, like how many players at a position you want. You can even submit criteria for each pick, such as taking the best guard or forward or the player with the best blocks or steals stats available.
 
For some reason, I signed up twice. Didn't mean to. Commish, delete one of those suckers, will ya?

I've honestly never played fantasy basketball on ESPN. Based on my experience with their fantasy football leagues, I wasn't overly impressed with them. And considering this league has been with Yahoo for several years now, it's much easier for me to just renew this league on Yahoo.

It looks like there's only one spot left, assuming Trout's second entry has been deleted.

We're at 14 now. I deleted this Charliee BJ (China Bejing) team that joined. After checking out his Yahoo Sports profile, let's just say he's not the most family friendly character. Doesn't look like he's a member of this board that I can tell either.

So if anyone still wants to join, that's fine. But, there has to be at least one other to join with them so there's an even number of teams. I hate to do this, but if only one team joins between now and the draft, that team will have to be deleted so we can go forward with the draft. So that's just a forewarning for anyone that would still like to join. It's too late in the game to be changing draft times now.
 
I'd lock the league at 14 and randomize the draft order so we know ahead of time where we're drafting instead of 30 minutes prior to the draft. Just a suggestion.
