2024-25 NBA Draft Guide: 12-Team, 9-Cat H2H Dynasty Mock Draft

By Mark C Published October 18, 2024 Updated August 19, 2025 1 min read

Redraft? Redraft? We talking about redraft? Dynasty is where it is at! I recently hosted a 12-team, 9-cat, H2H Dynasty Mock Draft to illustrate where managers are valuing players. This was a 15-round draft with seven starting slots (G/G/F/F/C/Util/Util) and eight bench spots, so teams could afford to stash a decent amount of prospects and lottery tickets.

Below, we’ll go through each round, highlighting my pick, my favorite picks, and other notes on either questionable or intriguing selections in that round. The managers at each selection are as outlined below:

Team 1 – Keston Paul of SportsEthos
Team 2 – Yoel Abulaf of SportsEthos
Team 3 – Gonçalo Teiga of SportsEthos
Team 4 – Jared Dunne of SportsEthos
Team 5 – Andrew of Angle Fantasy Basketball
Team 6 – Pedro Oliveira of SportsEthos
Team 7 – Anthony Kates of SportsEthos
Team 8 – Mark C of SportsEthos (Yes that’s me!)
Team 9 – André Lemos of SportsEthos
Team 10 – Mitchell of Angle Fantasy Basketball
Team 11 – Manpt15
Team 12 – Keith Cork of SportsEthos

After years of playing redraft fantasy basketball leagues with my friends, I branched out to dynasty leagues. As my hunger for competitive leagues grew, I found myself having lengthy conversations in various forums and developing my own thoughts on rookies and veteran players alike. Among the dynasty community, I found a gap in understanding on-court play and valuing transactions properly and thought to myself "I have a lot to say that could help dynasty managers!" I eventually came onto Sports Ethos as the Dynasty Lead, producing Dynasty Fantasy Basketball content such as rankings, rookie profiles, and other sorts of articles to enable managers to make informed decisions on their own squads. I pride myself in marrying on-court NBA and fantasy basketball analysis, giving readers and listeners of my content a holistic knowledge base of not only dynasty basketball projects but also the NBA itself.
