Fantasy Basketball Mock Draft 2024: Yahoo 9-Category Head-to-Head 2.0

Fantasy Basketball Mock Draft 2024: Yahoo 9-Category Head-to-Head 2.0

This article is part of our NBA Mock Draft series.

A big thanks to Scott St. Pierre and Scott Keller of Menace Podmen and SportsEthos WNBA for hosting this 9-category head-to-head mock draft on Yahoo! It used Yahoo's default category league settings, notably requiring two centers.

I was picking from the No. 9 spot and landed Trae Young, setting me up for a threes, assists, steals and FT% focused build. If you have any specific strategy questions, you can hit me up on Twitter @BaruthaAlex or comment on this article.

The mock draft results in order will be listed below. After that, there will be a chart that outlines each team individually.
