[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

Which late-round flyer are you most excited to take a chance on in your fantasy draft this year?

[@kaychan7046]

Ben Simmons!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@P_Sandhu]

LeBron James Jr

[@sebamorelli86]

Keyonte George

[@dominicbutalid2438]

Simmons

[@plethora21]

Kevin Porter Jr. I have Miles Bridges as a keeper, so I need to keep the bash bros together! Serious answer is Jonathan Isaac and maybe Keon Ellis. I draft 1-2 defensive stat fliers every year. Never pans out, but I think the idea is sound.

[@Tonyfit91]

“speaking of clowns” Ben Simmons lmao Im dead ☠️

[@humhum124]

Josh I feel like this season you've been more reserved in stating what good vaue target range you would draft players vs prior seasons' videos. I know its highly variable but, I would really like to see a round by round player target video.

[@MrMooremelody]

Thanks so much Josh. Amazing video. Really helps with filtering through the names in the list towards the end.

[@mattcarmody8691]

I like to draft a rookie in the last round or two and have usually been taking Ware or Buzelis in the mocks I've done. Thanks Josh, DB 👍

[@0p41]

49 players?! Josh, you out did yourself! There's only 5 names I ever look at past 100+. Thanks for some new considerations.

[@angelibarra6453]

I love u so much bro. Just drafted today and took both Wiggins and Caruso for my last 2 picks on my 12t espn points league

[@626lifeaa]

👑 shit Josh is a national treasure

[@bkelly625]

KPJ is an easy late round target… not a great guy but for a late fantasy pick with upside he’s great

[@RazorRamon24]

After playing the big3 sports in fantasy for many years I'm so convinced that NBA cat is the hardest by far. It's not tht I know any less it's just harder for me to draft solid teams with the punting and having to know who's better at ft% lol.

[@ryanlao6619]

Holy 49 players…..

[@malmazing24]

I like Ware, you called him Superman 🦸‍♂️ hopefully

[@kylegoulding2702]

Jeremy sohan undrafted in our league thoughts on him this year, built around trae so punting fgs, my last pick was cam johnson. would this be a good pick up?

[@ShadowSpider14]

@Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast @Josh, who are your preferred round 2 players for 9cat? There are a lot of good players but kind of old in this range (like Kyrie, Lebron, Dame, Vanvleet is getting older). I know it depends on who u got in R1 or whos left but just based on projections.Thanks

[@CasualHindu]

LFGSD. I was at the game, it was electric.

[@SP.007]

44:46 - Jesus Shuttlesworth Jr (Walter Ray Allen)

[@Aymill_]

Josh can we get a value 30 episode for the new season?

[@bkelly625]

Should Spurs want Sochan taking more shots? He can’t shoot efficiently from literally any part of the court and he was 150th in category leagues last season in like 30 minutes a night. I think it’s unlikely Castle is as inefficient of a scorer 51.3% true shooting is not a high bar at all and he’s not a 6 foot guard coming in. Maybe im wrong and Sochan explodes but I don’t think he’s even close to Castle as a real life (or fantasy) prospect long term and Spurs likely feel the same. For this season though it’s hard to determine the better fantasy pick since Castle is a rookie but I think he has more upside

[@tonu5393]

Hey Josh, out of curiosity do you think there is any value if touching on team strategy a little more on these fliers and when discussing players? For example Dyson Daniels in a punt pts good in steals (which you mentioned), TJD in punt FT strong in FG/Reb/Blk. Simply because mentioning a fliers projected strengths/weaknesses can help us think of what our team could use a flier on.

[@FitOneswithVarun]

@@tonu5393 think for fliers I wouldn’t think too much about your build cause good chance you drop them, more hoping for them to go off and be worth it regardless of build

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

Correct @fitoneswithvarun

[@mik3fourtwenty]

What about old man Barnes? Think he starts next to CP and wemby?

[@ralphroidesignco]

Josh did something similar to this last year and it helped me pick Duren and Coby White late, and it helped me big time last season! We'll see how things go but i'll be looking at Sarr and Bilal closely!

[@MITICOLOVE]

great job like ever Josh....I like Ausar Thompson, Noah Clowney, T. hendricks and Dyson Daniels to my team

[@skddude2411]

Great video Josh! Curious how did you become a Padres fan?

[@Gxbbby]

Maybe Donte doesn’t shoot well? Won’t happen… not sure why you’re so against him playing some 2nd/3rd string PG minutes. You’re putting him in a box. Watch him

[@tinghimwong5640]

Josh, what do you think about Isiah Joe, Dalton Knecht and Miles McBride?

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

Can’t see any path for 12 team relevance

[@tinghimwong5640]

@@LockedOnFantasyBasketballunderstood, I mean 16 teams deep league

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

@@tinghimwong5640 I like Joe and McBride r

[@SaimuKala]

Thoughts on Josh Hart as one of them? Seems like a solid double-double guy with Knicks having worse rebounders. Solid assists too, subpar percentages though.

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

He has adp inside top 120

[@jacksonvillejetriders6529]

With the addition of Towns, will be a fight for minutes that he’ll get the short end of. Look for players with the most minutes

[@SaimuKala]

@@jacksonvillejetriders6529 Knicks lack depth though, and Thibs should play heavy minutes. I assume Hart is starting. Could be wront though.

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

@@jacksonvillejetriders6529 its less of a fight for minutes than it was before the towns trade. they have zero depth

[@ramzibarakat5270]

I’m new to auction drafts and your channel has been so helpful bro. Would love if you could do a H2H points auction draft for a 12 team league. Thanks for the tips mate

[@RazorRamon24]

Been drafting alot of TJD but I'm a homer

[@heyitsandrew4941]

hi josh i got a question. if you were to play a 6 team points league how would you go about setting it up?

[@samsayer8548]

U don’t think Marcus smart could be a hold on a FT% punt team that likes steals ?

[@mrsoap3]

Why is Terry Rozier so undervalued? Heat team hasnt changed a ton, herro and butler often injured, hes not quite 31, every season hes solid, yet hes down past 100?

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

That’s because when he played for Miami he was down near 100

[@nickkoutsis4378]

Josh, did you take a pause to pronounce Bilal's name correctly? 😂 Good job btw!

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

I didn’t pause but appreciate the praise

[@CarloBarlo69]

Josh - what makes you think Risacher will start right away? Is he going to play over Bogdan and Hunter and Dyson?

[@wrenches3]

Reed is short for Creed

[@Batang90s_to-its]

Jalen Smith or Gradey Dick?

[@RazorRamon24]

Kel'el Ware superman? Is tht his nickname, if I love TJD I obviously love ware Go HOOSIERS.

[@seanprice8442]

Go Friars!

[@hisxlnz]

Jalen Wilson in 18 teamers....if Cam Johnson gets traded, he is next in line....

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

Agree

[@kenlee4708]

How about Kelly Oubre?

[@LockedOnFantasyBasketball]

I don’t think he has upside

[@anabolicoutpost]

PADRES WINNEEERRRR

[@CarloBarlo69]

Deni will Start. Scoot is simply not ready to start. He’s not good enough right now. It will be Anfernee, Shaedon, and Avdija starting. Scoot is going to get plenty of bench minutes now that Brogdan is gone, and Anfernee can play as a 2 at times alongside him. If Scoot proves he’s actually good enough to start, then we should consider him in the starting lineup.
