Most of the time, we review mock drafts here. However, I have been tasked with the rare opportunity to review an actual redraft league, with real stakes on the line. Even more so than mocks, managers are invested 100% into the teams they draft. Also atypical from other mock drafts, this is a 16-team league (with third-round reversal), which does chance some of my analysis compared to a more standard 12-team set-up. Just what does this affect? Read below to find out!

Thank you to Andre Lemos for this league draft!

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.
