Basketball Fans Unite! -- A Call for Help.

The community aspect of every SB Nation site is what makes the network so totally unique. Fan interaction is what drives these sites, and without the support of loyal readers and commenters, they can not be successful.

Scott Schroeder is doing everything he can to build up Ridiculous Upside so that it is the premier place to come for information and interaction about the NBA Draft, NBA Development League, and anything else relating to prospective NBA athletes.

But he cannot do it by himself. He needs you!

Make the jump to see what you can do to help the site.

Star-divide

  • As I said, site success is driven by user-generated content. So write! Share your thoughts with the RU community. Do you live in a D-League city? Are you a student at a college with potential professional players? Do you have a D-League call-up on your favorite team? Share your insights with us. The FanPost section belongs to you.
  • Utilize the FanShot selection as well. If you ever come across a story, either on another SBN site or some other source, don't be afraid to share with your fellow fans.
  • Spread the word. Tell your friends on your NBA or college sites about RU. Show them how awesome this site is and encourage them to join us. The more the merrier.
  • If you feel like you can be relied upon to provide regular, quality content, talk to Scott about becoming a writer. He's always looking more help.

So lets do this RU! If everyone does their part, I have no doubt that RU can become one of the busiest sites on SB Nation. It is in your hands now.

what's your policy on really bad spellers?

I only correct Scott's mistakes around here.

Just don’t expect me to help translate.

I don't spell bad

I have a medal back home showing that I won the city spelling bee in third grade!

I write about basketball players with Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

I just said mistakes.

That could mean anything. Typos, grammar mistakes, malapropisms…

I like this blog

Just found out about it when searching for draft coverage. I’d love to do fanshots, but I’m a blogger as well so often times whatever I dig up I post on my own site. Still, I’ll always share my thoughts about certain prospects and other material.

Was that a joke?

Hard to tell on the Net. I think Scott does a fine job, and actually, I prefer his style of writing over a lot of bloggers. He’s a nice mix of hard news with just the right amount of personal opinion.

OK,

I posted a FanPost at Mocking the Draft letting people know about RU. Some posters were wondering about NBA DRaft coverage over there. There are already a few guys form Bright Side of the Sun, but I’ll put up an official FanPost tomorrow. I’ll also post one at Canis Hoopus. Can anyone else advertise at their favorite blogs?
