Some fantasy managers emerge from a draft thinking they have just selected the greatest team ever and before the NBA playoffs begin it becomes quite clear that was not the case. Others leave a draft and wonder what in the world they were thinking with several choices and how the team can possibly compete and, well, sometimes it does. A draft can be a peculiar thing because all the statistics lie ahead and there is nothing guaranteed. Anything is possible with health, numbers and the magic that is a six-month season.
