Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide 2025: Auction Values
Last Updated on August 24, 2026 10:59 am by André Lemos | Published: September 25, 2025
Auction drafts are the purest form of fantasy basketball and they really do separate the intermediate player from the expert. There are so many different planes of both competition and competency, as different builds lead to variance in valuations. Throw in some good ol’ fashion auction adrenaline and owners have to be ready to execute any number of strategies.
Can you force the action or do you react to the action? Where do you zig where everybody else zagged. Auction ranks or values are really just confidence ratings. The value of your dollar is changing as the clock ticks and perceptions are all over the board. I’ve seen nearly every strategy win. Stars and scrubs. Cheap mid-round talents. Save and plunder.
The best advice to follow is to get the guys you want to get, be flexible and be ready to understand what the draft has given you. Good luck.

From the cliffs of Porto Moniz to the forests of Latvia. With a degree in business and a background in finance, I traded balance sheets for projection models, following a lifelong love of the game. I’ve played it, I’ve lived it and I’ve had the privilege of working inside team front offices at both the club and national level.
For over 20 years, I’ve also been immersed in the world of Fantasy Basketball, studying trends, finding edges and living the grind season after season. That passion has brought me here, to SportsEthos, where I’m honored to be part of our management team alongside the great Aaron Bruski. My mission is simple: help SportsEthos thrive as the premier home for Fantasy Sports and sports coverage. A place where users get real value and where every member of the team can sharpen their craft, find joy in the work and build something special that feels like home.
