News and Notes on the free fantasy basketball draft kit for 2012 small forwards.
There is a lot of value in these picks, as you will notice the top 3 SF in the NBA (James/Durant/Josh Smith) should all be first round picks this year. These guys contribute in all categories, and should they fall to the second round are absolute steals.
The top 40 SF should all go in 10-team leagues this season, showing you just how good and deep the SF position will be this season.
