Giannis Falls to Pick 5!? | Yahoo Points Fantasy Basketball Mock Draft Breakdown

Giannis Antetokounmpo at pick 5? That’s what happened in this Yahoo Points league mock draft — and Josh Lloyd breaks down how it all unfolded.

In this episode of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast, Josh walks through his full Yahoo Points draft from the fifth pick, reacting to surprising early picks, mid-round steals, and late-round flyers. He discusses how Giannis Antetokounmpo fits in points formats, the value of Alperen Sengun, and why Pascal Siakam brings the stability you need in a risk-heavy draft.

Plus — what to do with injury-prone stars like Kristaps Porzingis and how to balance upside vs. safety when building your team.
