Not only is it just fun to see what your favorite players would look like on your favorite team, but it’s also interesting to imagine what life would be like if all of the NBA’s superstars were with entirely different franchises.

To begin a fantasy draft in NBA 2K23 MyLeague, all you need to do is;

  1. Select “MyLeague” from the main menu and then from the list of MyLeague options. It will be represented by a picture of Nikola Jokic. To perform a fantasy draft online with friends, you would select “MyLeague Online” instead.
  2. Choose any of the ten available save slots and pick one of the three available MyLeague options; Current NBA Teams, League Expansion, or Custom league. You can perform a fantasy draft regardless of which option you choose.
  3. Pick whether you’d like to start your league in the regular season, beginning on the first day of the 2022-23 NBA season. Or start in the offseason, at the beginning of the 2022 NBA offseason. Once again, you can perform a fantasy draft regardless of which option you choose.
  4. Once you’ve set up the structure for your league, you will be met with the option to either “Customize Your League” or “Start the Mode”. From this screen, you will need to navigate over to and select the “Setup Options” on the far right-hand side.
  5. Now that you’re at the set-up options screen, scroll down to the “Fantasy Draft” option and toggle it to “On”. At this point, it will light up and allow you to select the more in-depth options of your fantasy draft below. Such as Draft Order, Draft Type, Player Pool, and more.

After you’ve decided on which settings fit how you’d like to play through your fantasy draft. Make sure to advance using the options (or start) button, otherwise, your selections won’t be saved. Then, you can select which teams you’d like to control in your fantasy draft and league. Once you’ve finalized the settings for your league, you’re ready to begin drafting!
