Summary

Fantasy Basketball mock draft time — but with a twist. Josh Lloyd runs a 14-team, 9-category H2H mock draft using an all-round reversal format. Nikola Jokic goes first overall, and Josh lands Josh Giddey with his second pick at 28 — sparking plenty of debate. In this episode, Josh breaks down draft strategies, explains why the reversal format can balance the board, and highlights the risks of stacking injured players. From early-round decisions to late-round upside swings, he gives insights into how to build a roster that’s competitive from top to bottom.
