The ESPN fantasy basketball experts got together for their second mock draft of the 2024-25 NBA season, this time going with a 10-team H2H category format.
If you're new to fantasy hoops and looking to try it out for the first time, here is a tutorial of all the basics. From there, it's easy to grab a handful of people, set up a draft and have some fun! Before that, though, it's always smart to spend a little time preparing with a mock draft of your own.
Until then, this mock draft should help give you an idea of what to expect in H2H category leagues.
What did the first round look like? How far did aging stars such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard fall? And who stood out as the top values in the middle and late rounds?
The participants of our 10-team H2H category mock, in order of draft position, were as follows: Eric Moody, Joe Kaiser, Michael Schwartz, Sachin Dave Chandan, Eric Karabell, Jim McCormick, Pierre Becquey, Andre Snellings, Steve Alexander and Tom Carpenter.
