Breaking Down Yahoo’s Fantasy Basketball...

Josh Lloyd, Locked On Podcast Network
About this episode

Yahoo has dropped their 2025 fantasy basketball rankings, and it’s already sparking major debate. Are stars like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Victor Wembanyama ranked correctly? Or is Yahoo way off the mark?

Josh Lloyd, host of Locked On Fantasy Basketball, digs into Yahoo’s top 24 fantasy players while calling out the biggest overvalued and underrated picks. Is Ivica Zubac really worth a top-30 spot? Could guys like Amen Thompson smash their Yahoo rank? And how should you adjust for points vs. category scoring?

With breakdowns of Yahoo’s top tier, mid-range players, and sleepers, plus clear insights on draft strategy, Josh arms you with the tools to crush your fantasy basketball draft this season.
