When drafting a team for a Fantasy hoops Rotisserie league, it's important to know about scarcity, and not just of positions. Over the course of a season, it is significantly easier to make up certain stats than others, and this knowledge should influence how you go about building your roster.

For instance, the average points leader in 12-team CBSSports.com Rotisserie leagues last season scored 13,636 points, and the average distance between each subsequent spot in the rankings was 348 points. The average blocks leader, on the other hand, finished last season with 715, and it took 31 to move up each subsequent spot.

You might think that the sheer volume required to move up each spot in points makes that the harder category to move up in over the course of a season, but that's not really the case. Last season, four players contributed enough points to be worth five spots in the rankings, on average; the same number recorded that many blocks. And there are a lot more players who will score 1,000-plus points -- 67 last season -- than 100-plus blocks -- just four.

What should you take from this? I think it is easy to overrate categories like rebounds and points, which are relatively plentiful; conversely, 3-pointers, blocks and steals can be overlooked. Danny Green isn't a guy who pops off the screen at you in the draft room, but he is one of just nine players to ever finish a season with 85-plus blocks, 100-plus steals and 100-plus 3-pointers made. Grabbing him in the seventh round is a steal, given how much he helps you in those scarcer categories.

In the first mock draft we did -- H2H points -- volume scoring and rebounding are hugely important, because all that matters is raw production. In a format where blocks and steals are weighted just as much as scoring -- not to mention percentages -- efficiency and stat-sheet stuffing become much more important.

Keep that in mind as you draft your Roto team.
