Would you believe me if I told you that Patrick and I had started working on a draft guide back in June? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Whether you believe or not, we will have a first draft of said Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide ready at the end of next week. This rough draft will include player previews for ~300 different and unique players in the NBA. The final draft will include revisions to the player previews and (hopefully/probably) some additional content. Why am I telling you this? Because you, my friend, are reading this post, and that means you must at least care a little bit about fantasy basketball. And, as such, I am personally inviting you to be a Beta Reader for the Give Me The Rock 2008-09 Draft Guide. Judging by how quickly the fantasy league filled up last year, this shouldn’t be too hard. The first 5 people to respond to this post (make sure you put your email address in the form) will get a copy of the rough draft to read and criticize. As I said, the rough draft will be sent at the end of next week (most likely the 15th). If you cannot read 300 player previews and send back comments within a week, please don’t ask to be a Beta Reader. Also, there will be no cheerleader or dancer (or any other) pictures in the guide, so if you’re one of the people who come here for that kind of thing, don’t bother.

If you don’t get to be a Beta Reader, don’t freak out. You will still have a chance to get a free copy when the First Edition is published. More details on that later. For now, just see if you can be one of the first 5 people who will be able to give feedback in a timely manner.

    I’m too late and don’t have time to be a Beta reader, but it sounds like a great guide you are putting out. Let me know anytime if we can excerpt some of it on HoopsAve.

    fanbase not hardcore enough for you?
    i was going to be 1st (rss feed alerts rule) but then i read: “don’t bother.” strong word choice.

    on one hand you write funny articles and put in pictures (on your on accord) but then it seems like you’re saying that someone who comes here and enjoys that is the same as someone who is incapable of reading 300 bios in over 150 hours? why are they different people? i thought that describes pretty much everyone who reads a bball fantasy blog in the summer. are you moving the entire blog in a different direction?

    @seanlb, Sorry for the confusion. I was really more referring to the people who arrive at these pages through Google searches. I know that if you’re here during the summer and reading the posts that you’re probably hard core enough to be a Beta Reader for the Draft Guide. And I suppose if someone really was coming here just for the pictures, you’d have to be pretty lame, since there about a billion other websites with better cheerleader and dancer material. We’re not taking this blog anywhere, don’t worry.

    Looks like your joke may have been a little too inside, Nels. Everyone else other than you and I might not be aware that the most popular search term leading into GMTR is (sadly) “Paris Hilton Sex Tape”. I can only imagine those freaks are a little disappointed in what they find here.

  • doneycat

    Have you sent out the Beta for your FBDG? Because I was kidding about Mario West, I don’t need to see a preview for him. I believe he was the league leader (if not, close to it) in “billions”. I don’t think there are any leagues where that helps. Maybe cbssportsline.com.

    Doneycat – no draft guide yet… I have your email, though, and I think it’ll be coming today…
