Fantasy basketball mock draft: 10-team H2H points league

The ESPN fantasy basketball experts got together for another mock draft, using a 10-team head-to-head points format, with only a week to go before the NBA season tips off on Oct. 21.

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.

For this expert mock draft, pay close attention to how everything unfolded, as your draft could take on a very similar look.

The participants of our 10-team H2H points mock were Eric Moody, Joe Kaiser, Steve Alexander, Andre’ Snellings, Michael Schwartz, Tom Carpenter, Jim McCormick, Eric Karabell, Pierre Becquey and Matt Williams.
