NBA Fantasy Basketball players — the Central Division just reshaped its future.
Josh Lloyd breaks down how the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and Milwaukee Bucks handled the 2025 NBA Draft — and what it means for your fantasy teams.
The Bulls take Noa Essengue at 12, hoping for defensive upside.
The Cavaliers keep it low-key with Tyrese Proctor — is there any fantasy relevance?
Detroit earns an A with Chaz Lanier at 37, a move that could push them toward playoff contention and spark real fantasy intrigue.
Indiana trades down and grabs Kam Jones, banking on fit instead of ceiling.
Milwaukee selects Bogoljub Markovic — shades of Nikola Jovic, but is there enough juice for dynasty formats?
Josh goes team-by-team, grading the picks, projecting early roles, and calling out who might surprise in standard or deep leagues. He also dives into undrafted signings that could end up being fantasy relevant by February.
👉 Watch or listen now for the full breakdown — and get a leg up on your competition before these rookies hit summer league.
