JG

Josh Giddey

PG · CHI

Lloyd is firmly buying Giddey at Yahoo's No. 19 neighborhood, arguing that Chicago's primary creator belongs closer to the 13-to-15 range than the back half of Round 2.

GA

Giannis Antetokounmpo

PF · MIA

ESPN leaving Giannis around No. 20 creates an enormous value gap for Lloyd. He would consider him near fifth overall and described taking him at that discounted price as an exceptionally easy decision.

CF

Cooper Flagg

SF · DAL

Flagg's ESPN points ranking near No. 24 doesn't match Lloyd's projection. Josh sees first-round-caliber production from a player being offered around the end of Round 2.

KD

Kevin Durant

PF · HOU

Lloyd sees little justification for Durant sliding toward the end of Round 2 on ESPN after another season of elite category production, making the veteran an obvious value target at that cost.

JM

Jamal Murray

PG · DEN

Murray is priced below the level Lloyd expects him to produce. Josh sees a realistic path inside the top 14 and believes the gap between projection and ESPN's ranking is substantial.

AD

Anthony Davis

PF · WAS

Lloyd believes Yahoo has already baked so much injury risk into Davis' price around No. 45 that the remaining upside overwhelms much of the downside. Healthy AD remains capable of destroying that draft slot.

TM

Trey Murphy III

SF · NOP

The ESPN board is where Lloyd wants managers attacking Murphy aggressively. He views the difference between Murphy's ranking and expected production as an especially severe pricing mistake.

DD

Dyson Daniels

SG · ATL

Daniels is another ESPN value Lloyd considers dramatically underpriced, with his steals, playmaking and expanded Atlanta role giving him considerably more fantasy value than his draft slot suggests.

CH

Chet Holmgren

C · OKC

An ESPN points ranking around No. 71 puts Holmgren squarely on Lloyd's attack list. His blocks, efficiency and scoring ceiling make that price far too conservative in Josh's evaluation.

PG

Paul George

SF · BOS

Lloyd is willing to absorb George's health uncertainty because his market price has fallen far enough that the potential reward now outweighs the downside.

SC

Stephon Castle

PG · SAS

Castle has fallen below the level Lloyd believes his role and statistical upside justify. Rather than fear San Antonio's crowded backcourt, Josh sees the discount as something fantasy managers should exploit.

ZE

Zach Edey

C · MEM

Once drafts reach the later rounds, Lloyd sees Edey as a legitimate league-swinging gamble. A healthy season creates a plausible path toward top-50 production at a dramatically cheaper acquisition cost.

RR

Ryan Rollins

PG · MIL

Rollins is the kind of late pick Lloyd wants managers swinging on rather than settling for low-ceiling depth. If the role holds, Josh sees enough production for a genuine top-50 outcome.
