<div>The draft order has now been set up in each league on ESPN. You now can propose to trade draft picks to teams within your league.
<div>
<div>If you have not been involved in a snake draft on ESPN before, I recommend that you have a go at the Mock Drafts.. This will give you an understanding of how the draft works.
<div>
<div>There a total of 13 positions to fill on your roster. You need at least one of the following (PG, SG ,SF, PF, C). You can only have a maximum of 4 C's on your team. There is also one IR spot on your roster whereby you can place an injured player if they have been ruled out for any period of time - these players will have a O next to their name.
<div>
<div>There will be 60 seconds between each draft pick. If you have not selected a player once the 60 seconds have expired, the system will automatically select the next available player from the list.
<div>
<div>Remember if you are not available on the night of your draft, you can set up a pre draft list whereby the system will pick the next available player from your list when it is your turn to pick.
