Fantasy Basketball Mock Draft | Yahoo Po...

Josh Lloyd, Locked On Podcast Network
About this episode

Drafting from the middle spot? In this live Yahoo Points League mock (12 teams, pick 7) I walk through every decision using Yahoo’s default scoring, explain points-specific strategy (volume > percentages, bonuses matter), and compare ceiling vs. risk in the early, middle, and late rounds. We hit sleepers, traps, and how to build a roster that actually wins a points league.

What you’ll learn

How Yahoo points scoring changes player value vs. 9-cat

Middle-spot strategy from pick 7 (anchor picks, tier breaks, stacks)

Early-round calls (e.g., Trae Young vs. Anthony Davis in points)

Mid-round upside targets & safe floors

Late-round darts, injury discounts, and bench construction
