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 an 18-round draft with 10 starting slots (G/G/G/F/F/F/C/Flex/Flex/Flex), six bench spots, and two minors stashes. Teams could afford to stash a decent amount of prospects and lottery tickets, but the high level of starting spots meant that managers who want to compete fill out those spots adequately.

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 – Aaron Bruski of SportsEthos
Team 2 – Dynasty Hoops HQ of Dynasty Hoops HQ
Team 3 – Jason of DBCJason
Team 4 – Dr. A of SportsEthos
Team 5 – Mitchell of Angle Fantasy Basketball
Team 6 – Kayla Fonte of Various Outlets
Team 7 – Mark C of SportsEthos (Yes that’s me!)
Team 8 – Braxton of Angle Fantasy Basketball
Team 9 – Andrew of Angle Fantasy Basketball
Team 10 – Zach of Dizzle Dynasty
Team 11 – Jay of Dizzle Dynasty
Team 12 – Rick Kamla of SportsEthos

The Draft

Round 1

1) Victor Wembanyama
2) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
3) Nikola Jokic
4) Luka Dončić
5) Cade Cunningham
6) Cooper Flagg
7) Anthony Edwards
8) Jalen Williams
9) Giannis Antetokounmpo
10) Chet Holmgren
11) Evan Mobley
12) Trae Young

My Pick: Anthony Edwards was my selection at seven here. Edwards provides a massive base in points and threes, plus adds some G/F eligibility. I don’t love the lack of other impactful categories, but age and potential growth makes me feel comfortable with Edwards at this pick. He also allows me to be flexible with the rest of my draft.

Favorite Pick: It’s hard to truly love any pick more than others considering the amount of talent that is on the board. With that in mind, snagging Luka Dončić at four by Dr. A is my top pick. Dončić provides elite counting stats across points, triples, boards, and assists. That sort of impact is fairly unparalleled, and Dr. A secured that.

Other Notes: Giannis Antetokounmpo at nine is a bit early for my tastes, but he certainly allows Andrew to build a clear punt-oriented dynasty team. I quibble a bit with Evan Mobley at 11 because he is more rock-solid across the board. If he can take another leap in his scoring though, this could look like a value selection in a year’s time.

Mark C

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.
