Are you ready to dominate your fantasy basketball league this year? Join Bryan Joiner and Ben Clarke on the Full Court Press Podcast as they dive into an ultimate mock draft to find the best value picks and sleepers for the upcoming season. From first-round locks to late-round steals, we are breaking down every move to help you build a championship roster.

In this episode, we take the clock for a full ESPN-style points league mock draft. We discuss why Giannis Antetokounmpo falling to the eighth pick is a game-changer and why Jalen Johnson is a must-target alpha for your team. We also navigate the tricky waters of rookie valuations, injury risks like Jimmy Butler, and why players like Kyrie Irving and Naz Reid offer incredible mid-to-late round value. Whether you are playing in a redraft or a deep dynasty league, our strategy breakdown covers roster construction, positional scarcity, and how to spot breakout candidates before your leaguemates do.
