We built Draft Randomizer to make setting a fantasy football draft order feel like an event instead of a spreadsheet chore. Now we are bringing the same idea to the hardwood. A full fantasy basketball section, Draft Randomizer Hoops, is on the way for the 2026-27 season.
Here is what is coming, and roughly when.
What Draft Randomizer Hoops is
Same core idea as the football version, new sport. You add your league, hit start, and a quick on-court showdown decides who picks first. It is a fully random, fair draw, dressed up as a basketball game your whole league can watch, with a shareable video at the end. Free, no sign-up.
If your league likes the NBA draft lottery, this is that feeling, minus the ping-pong balls and the arguing.
Five ways to settle your hoops draft
You will get five on-court styles to pick from:
- Buzzer Beater. Two managers chase a loose ball and go 1-on-1. The last one standing drills the game-winner for pick number one.
- Fast Break. A full-court sprint with the rock, past defenders and missed layups. First to finish at the rim picks first.
- Knockout. The playground classic. Sink your shot before the player behind you or you are knocked out.
- H-O-R-S-E. Trick-shot elimination. Miss a called shot and take a letter. Spell it and you are out.
- Half-Court Shootout. Heaves from half court on the shot clock. Brick it and you are gone.
Every one is a fair, fully random draft order. The game on top is just the fun part.
When it lands
We are aiming to launch before fantasy basketball draft season, which for most leagues is the week or two before the NBA season tips off in October. It will live at draftrandomizer.com/basketball when it goes live.
