for anyone who starts doing mock drafts early in the offseason, particularly in July or August: what are you mainly looking to get out of them?

• Testing draft strategies and player values
• Researching where players are going based on early ADP
• Having a casual draft with friends
• Running a proper slow draft over several weeks/months
• Creating rankings, videos, podcasts or other content
• Practising for a specific league format
• Just for fun

We’re building a fantasy basketball mock draft tool that we’re aiming to open in August, and I’m interested in understanding how people would actually use it this early in the offseason.

Progress isn't linear, contract years end, and veteran production tends to fall off of a cliff when you least expect it. Shoot, I drafted Trae Young for 21% of my budget in a dynasty startup last season. With that being said, who are some guys that you expect to disappoint this year compared to their new ADP going into 2026-27?

Personally, I expect MPJ to come back to Earth after a season where he got to dominate touches due to bad roster construction and injuries. While he should still be a serviceable fantasy player, I am not expecting his actual production to come close to what he did last year. Add in the repeated injury issues and he's a stay-away for me unless I can get him at an absolute bargain bin price.

Who do you think is going to be overrated going into the draft / season?
