2024-25 NBA Draft Guide: Points League Busts

Last Updated on August 19, 2025 7:30 pm by André Lemos | Published: October 2, 2024

Traditionally we have done sleepers and busts for category leagues, but since we have begun introducing more points league content over the past couple of years, Jacob Dunne and I have decided to bring you the good stuff for points leagues as well.

The rankings and ADPs on most platforms are skewed toward 9-cat formats, so there can be some extra lifting for managers in points formats. We could look at the rankings, but those are subject to massive changes which could make this article void in the space of a day, so we will focus on ADPs despite the influence of category-league drafts.

That’s why we’re here, to help steer you.

Since Points Leagues are mainly popular on two platforms with separate scoring systems, that is, ESPN and Yahoo, ao we are giving you separate names for both but there may be overlap.

We are looking for players who may have multiple rounds of lower value compared to where they are being taken to ensure this isn’t a cumbersome list. One round of difference typically should not be as significant due to season-to-season fluctuations in performance and potential unforeseen improvements. The platform (Yahoo) or (ESPN) where the potential bust is will be next to the player name and if it is both, you will see (Yahoo, ESPN) or a similar variation.
