Last week, 12 industry experts gathered together to conduct a 14-round mock draft for a head-to-head points league.
Active rosters include 10 players -- 4 G, 4 F, 1 C, 1 FLEX -- with four reserve and no IR spots.
The scoring format, which places increased emphasis on assists, is as follows:
Points: 1pt
Rebounds: 1pt
Steals: 1pt
Blocks: 1pt
Assists: 2pts
Turnovers: -1pt
Led by the usual suspects at the top, here's how things went down:
