Here you have it, folks!  Below you have the entirety of the Razzball top 200, listed by their Yahoo position eligibility (spoiler alert – RCL Basketball might be there!) and my 1/2-a-twitter two-cents on each guy.  As the bartender in The Fifth Element would say, if you do “want some more” shoot your comments/bashing below!  I’ll be updating periodically through the preseason, so if any player moves up or down significantly, I will change their name to green or red so you can track player movement.

Remember that past the 120s or so, you can reach on virtually any of these ranked guys with reckless abandon in standard leagues.  In deeper leagues, I tried to map out about where I would get everyone.  A guy like Archie Goodwin I think has oodles of upside, but is buried in Yahoo and ESPN noodles (aka – their rankings) so I can wait on him in deeper leagues until his rank below, but might take a last-pick flyer on him in medium-depth leagues.  I’ll be breaking each position down every day this week so you have positional cheat sheets, but first here is our rankings:

Razzball Basketball 2013-2014 Fantasy Basketball Rankings

(updated Oct. 21)

RANKPLAYER, POS, TEAMNOTE
1Kevin Durant, SF, OKCWestbrook injury has me caving to conventional wisdom, no way you can’t go KD 1
2LeBron James, SF/PF, MIAStill think an elite season coming, but can’t question KD at 1 anymore.
3James Harden, SG/SF, HOUEasy to forget he was traded less than a week before 12-13 season.
4Chris Paul, PG, LACGame’s best PG, will be leaned on to do everything for Doc.
5Stephen Curry, PG/SG, GSA little worried about career ankle issues, no Jarrett Jack.
6Serge Ibaka, PF/C, OKCI’ll reach, scored 4 more a game, developing deep shot, 57.3 FG% 12-13.  Westbrook injury now has him a key scorer as well, but obviously doesn’t move above the big 5.
7Kyrie Irving, PG, CLEThe additional bigs should give Kyrie all sorts of room to drive and dish.
8John Wall, PG, WASLove Wall, was a first-round talent in last two months of 12-13, healthy offseason.
9Marc Gasol, C, MEMDoes everything, increased scoring with Gay gone in 2nd half 12-13.
10Kevin Love, PF/C, MEMFirst-round talent, injury downside.  Slides into top-ten with Westbrook injury.
11Derrick Rose, PG, CHII buy the perimeter game offseason work, excited for a really big season/big Asts.  Looked good back on the court.
12Paul George, SG/SF, INDLove George as a player, think he’s getting overhyped in fantasy.
13Deron Williams, PG, BKNA bit worried about recent ankle injury, will sink if lingers into preseason.
14Ricky Rubio, PG, MINAnother point I buy the improved perimeter game, fully recovered from ACL.
15Al Horford, PF/C, ATLMillsap is more efficient than Josh Smith, love Teague, big year for big Al.
16Dwayne Wade, PG/SG, MIACareer-high FG% in 12-13, another solid year ahead.
17↑ Anthony Davis, PF/C, NOPlaying at an absolute elite level right now in the preseason.  Yeah I know it’s just preseason, but ready to grab him in mid-2nd round now.
18Al Jefferson, PF/C, CHACharlotte finally has a big, offense will run through him.
19Damian Lillard, PG, PORBuying offseason improvements, FG% to go up, big season.
20Carmelo Anthony, SF/PF, NYElite scoring, sure, think boards go down and a little injury prone.
21Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, PORWrist injury a concern (no surgery), falling numbers and %s in second half scary.  Played a lot of minutes in EuroBasket, has a bad back now.
22LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, PORWould move 5-6 spots up if guaranteed with POR all year – trade concerns.  A tad gimpy right now.
23Dirk Nowitzki, PF, DALAfter working his way back, elite Hall-of-Famer we’re used to in 2nd half.
24Ty Lawson, PG, DENNo Gallinari, no Iguodala, will have to do it all.
25Josh Smith, SF/PF, DETHas opportunity, very volatile in his value.
26Joakim Noah, PF/C, CHIInjuries will be concerning, but very big year from Noah in 12-13, Rose = FG% up.
27Larry Sanders, PF/C, MILGM calls him key to the team, contract extension in works, big year ahead.
28Tony Parker, PG, SAFire to win the title, elite when healthy.
29Jeff Teague, PG, ATLWill be on all my teams, Millsap will help efficiency, one of my big breakouts.
30David Lee, PF/C, GSOften underrated, not worried about the hip injury that’s healed up.
31Mike Conley, PG, MEMBoosted scoring, assists, fewer TOs when Gay left.
32Russell Westbrook, PG, OKCInjury changes everything, don’t like knee injury for guy that relies on explosiveness.
33Pau Gasol, PF/C, LALBye-bye Dwight, hello to old ways.  Or would it be hola?
34Nikola Vucevic, PF/C, ORLNot only a double-double guy, 2 ast 1 stl 1 blk a game as well.
35Dwight Howard, C, HOUProbably won’t end up on many of my teams, but upside is obviously still there.
36Tim Duncan, PF/C, SADream season last year, think he’ll come close to duplicating going for title.
37Paul Millsap, PF, ATLOnly 27, played only 30:26 a night last year, will flourish in ATL.
38Rudy Gay, SF/PF, TORBuying all things Raptors, solid multi-cat contributor.
39Kawhi Leonard, SG/SF, SALove him, love the multi-cat game, Yahoo at 24 seems extraordinarily high though.
40Roy Hibbert, C, INDFlashed elite big man potential in playoffs, extremely durable.
41DeMarcus Cousins, PF/C, SACStill risky, one of fantasy’s biggest high risk/reward picks yet again.
42Blake Griffin, PF, LACDespite hardcore fantasy player’s hate, there’s still upside – but I won’t reach.
43Jeff Green, SF/PF, BOSHuge, huge upside with extraordinary breakout potential.
44Nikola Pekovic, C, MINAlready great FG% that will go up with Love, dub-dub with stl/blk a night.
45Kobe Bryant, SG, LALCould obviously move up with incoming optimistic news, rehab doing too well to be lower.  Looking like he’ll miss opening night, but not too much more action.
46Jonas Valanciunas, C, TORIf you’ve read me since last year, he’s my #1 sleeper.  Offense to run through him.
47Chris Bosh, PF/C, MIAUnder-the-radar (at least to me) very productive 12-13 despite dwindling skill set/rebounding.  Some further regression.
48Derrick Favors, PF/C, UTAThe Jazz have a ton of faith in him, oozes potential/high block total.
49Kemba Walker, PG, CHALower than almost anywhere else, don’t think Jefferson fixes bad FG%, low Asts.
50Brook Lopez, C, BKNLove his game, had him top-20 in May.  Foot injury and big trade limits #s.
51Monta Ellis, PG/SG, DALExcited to see him play with Dirk, should have a solid season, slight scoring dip.
52Jrue Holiday, PG, NOWhile #1 NO scorer/disher, I find myself never coming close to Jrue at original #42 rank in drafts thus far.
53Greg Monroe, C, DETThink Josh Smith/Jennings actually will help his fantasy value.
54Tobias Harris, SF/PF, ORLMy boyfriend from last year, flashed fantastic goodness in 2nd half.  Will start.
55Chandler Parsons, SF/PF, HOUFantastic 12-13, think he has another great, efficient season.
56↓ Brandon Jennings, PG, DETMessed up tooth and jaw will linger into regular season, not willing to go for him until end of the 6th round in 10-teamers.
57Paul Pierce, SF, BKNName value and new locale may have someone reach, Yahoo at 87 too low.
58George Hill, PG/SG, INDQuiet, unassuming, steady production.
59Eric Bledsoe, PG/SG, PHXFlashed brilliance when starting, polarizing fantasy ranks, big upside.
60Jose Calderon, PG, DALI said in the original full rankings I needed to move him up, so I did.
61Ryan Anderson, PF/C, NODespite new faces, don’t think his role/numbers change much.
62Klay Thompson, SG/SF, GSI’ve seen him very overranked, ThrAGNOF!
63Goran Dragic, PG, PHXStill upside there, and despite a “bust” last year, still produced at this rank’s level.
64David West, PF, INDSolid 12-13, another solid 13-14.
65Zach Randolph, PF/C, MEMRead West, David.
66DeMar DeRozan, SG/SF, TORA big sleeper of mine, TOR a great line-up now, buying the offseason work on 3s.
67Gerald Henderson, SG/SF, CHABack-to-back sleepers, Henderson showed elite production in 2nd half.
68Thaddues Young, SF/PF, PHISomeone has to score in Philly, right?  Solid 12-13 as well, but not in love.
69Rajon Rondo, PG, BOSNo need to rush him back in a big rebuilding year – despite him saying he’s already mentally ready.
70O.J. Mayo, SG, MILWill lead offensive attack for the Bucks, solid talent around him.
71Bradley Beal, SG, WASShowed talent at times in rookie season, big injury concern, despite great upside including the big preseason game on 10-15.
72Luol Deng, SF, CHITrade/contract issues persist, but solid player and should be with Bulls all year.
73Greivis Vasquez, PG/SG, SACThink there’s multi-cat upside, but ankle injury and IT2 issues remain.
74Andre Iguodala, SG/SF, GSLow floor/low ceiling, moves to another fast-paced team to duplicate 12-13 #s.
75Jimmy Butler, SG/SF, CHIA little surprised I’m higher on him than most, will start, multi-cat goodness.
76J.R. Smith, SG/SF, NYKKnee injury, suspension for smoking, but past those I’m fine with him here.
77Kyle Lowry, PG, TORYou know you’re getting good production, but only when he’s on the floor.
78Gordon Hayward, SG/SF, UTAMinutes, steals, assists up as 12-13 went on, TOs down, Jazz need consistency.
79↓ Ersan Ilyasova, SF/PF, MILDon’t want anything to do with a big on a very bum ankle.  Avoiding as best I can.
80Marcin Gortat, C, PHXAnother guy from the Suns that was a semi-bust but still put up #s.
81Danny Green, SG/SF, SAReally underrated multi-cat season: 1.2 stl 0.7 blk 12-13 a little shocking.
82Enes Kanter, C, UTABig upside in starting role.Saw him play on 10-16 and looked great.
83Wilson Chandler, SG/SF, DENWithout Gallinari until probably February, Chandler a huge breakout candidate.
84Brandon Knight, PG/SG, MILStill very young, think with actual talent around him could emerge.
85Kenneth Faried, PF, DENLove the Manimal in real life, think his fantasy value can be a little overrated.
86Jeremy Lin, PG, HOUSome upside with reports he and Dwight looking good from the Dream, great Stls.
87Wesley Matthews, SG/SF, PORDon’t see him playing 35 mins a night, even with rook McCollum to miss prolonged time.
88JaVale McGee, C, DENObvious upside with more minutes due to Karl firing, Shaqtin a Fool downside too.
89Victor Oladipo, SG, ORLOnly other rookie in top 100, may start slow but I see bigger role in 2nd half.
90Carlos Boozer, PF/C, CHIOne of my least favorite players, is actually going a bit underrated in 13-14.
91Andre Drummond, PF/C, DETSure some upside, but 37.1 FT%?  Really?
92Raymond Felton, PG/SG, NYStill driving a high-powered offense, think Beno Udrih eats into a few minutes.
93Andrew Bogut, C, GSSays he’s healthy and expects big minutes, multi-cat performer, always injured…
94Steve Nash, PG, LAL39, numerous injuries last year, but still top 100 value.
95Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, SF, CHAPeople overrate a 19-yr old rookie season and write him off, multi-cat breakout.
96↑ Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, DETFirst Stuckey now Jennings, injuries are ravaging the Pistons backcourt and KCP was looking at a surprise starting gig beforehand.  Willing to go for him very high.
97Jamal Crawford, PG/SG, LACWill duplicate what we saw last year, which was top 100 worthy.
98Spencer Hawes, C, PHIHas the 1st half to prove worth until Noel gets minutes, out of position 3s nice.
99Tyson Chandler, C, NYNot a huge fan, injury prone and a wild card, but value has him crack 100.
100↑ John Henson, PF/C, MILInjuries to both Ilyasova and Ekpe Udoh will have Henson seeing tons of minutes, and I see him banking on the production with his solid per/48 numbers last year.  Must own in all leagues.
101Amir Johnson, PF/C, TORDespite probably a sub-10 PPG scorer, gave you 1 stl 1.4 blks last year.
102Cody Zeller, PF/C, CHAA surprise from Summer ball, there’s upside playing next to Jefferson.
103Isaiah Thomas, PG, SACAn unreal second half, potential is there but stifled by new regime/Vasquez.
104Chris Kaman, PF/C, LALThrived when he’s gotten starting minutes, will be vastly undervalued.
105Kevin Garnett, PF/C, BKNKidd says he’ll bench KG on back-to-backs, #s still there last year, down a bit this year.
106Tyreke Evans, SG/SF, NOAnkle dinged up after preseason injury, hate to draft him injured even with report he should make opening night.
107Anderson Varejao, PF/C, CLEThe unreal rebounds are tough to ignore, but less minutes, Bynum = less value.
108Kelly Olynyk, C, BOSMinutes and opportunity are there, worth a slight bit of a reach to me.  Looked good in both preseason games I’ve seen him in.
109Joe Johnson, SG/SF, BKNSomeone will reach for name value, scoring/3s down with all the options.
110Jameer Nelson, PG, ORLOladipo to play some at point, everyone healthy right now, avoiding.
111Andrew Bynum, C, CLEDon’t want him, knees hurt again, but still some upside. Yahoo @ 53 = nuts.
112Danny Granger, SF, INDLike Bynum, tough to rank and I won’t be reaching for him – 2-10 in preseason opener.
113Maurice Harkless, SF, ORLFlashed multi-cat goodness with 1.2 stl/0.8 blk in only 25 minutes per game.
114Andrei Kirilenko, SF/PF, BKNNever been a huge fan, but will still get minutes behind elderly former Celtics.
115Harrison Barnes, SF, GSPotential has always been there, but becomes a 6th man with Iggy.
116Arron Afflalo, SG/SF, ORLEmpty scoring, but still produces despite status with Magic in turmoil.
117Shawn Marion, SF/PF, DALI don’t buy a repeat, but Marion was huge last year under-the-radar.
118Jarrett Jack, PG/SG, CLEWahhhhhh, I’m Jarrett Jack!  Will find time at the 2 late in games.
119Michael Carter-Williams, PG, PHIThe FG% will be terrible, but minutes and opportunity are there for the gamble.
120J.J. Redick, SG, LACLimited upside, but should be able to replicate what he did with the Magic in 12-13.
121Tristan Thompson, PF/C, CLELoved him before Bynum/Bennett/Clark brought in, Bynum hurt, TT could start.
122Reggie Jackson, PG, OKCSure he’s only got the starting gig until Westbrook is back, but Jackson will still get minutes as Russell is eased back in and tremendous upside to start the year.
123Kevin Martin, SG, MINWill score, but doesn’t get to the line anymore, still doesn’t do anything else. Sore Achilles to start the year as well.
124Randy Foye, PG/SG, DENGallinari hurt, no Brewer, no Iggy, no Koufos, Denver will need scoring.
125Ben McLemore, SG, SACCrowded backcourt, but they seem determined to play him, some upside.
126↑ DeAndre Jordan, C, LACHaving a great preseason and flashing great Board-n-Blocks upside, FT% still a work around though.
127Kyle Korver, SG/SF, ATLDespite my reluctance to draft 3-point specialists, was solid in 12-13.
128Dion Waiters, SG, CLEJack will take some minutes, a lot of new options on the Cavs.
129Corey Brewer, SG/SF, MIN(three weeks ago)I just think he’s better than Budinger or Shabazz, more multi-cat value than expected. (now) Budinger hurt, Brewer to start.  Me likey.
130Manu Ginobili, SG/SF, SAInjuries and lower minutes of course lower value, but can still produce.
131↓ Eric Gordon, SG, NOBad knees, ankle still coming along, not touching him before here.
132Evan Turner, SG/SF, PHII just thought he’d be a better NBA player and he’s not, not buying new opportunity.
133Tiago, Splitter, C, SAUnderrated multi-cat year, played 81 games, nice late stat booster.
134Martell Webster, SG/SF, WASPorter’s hip injury lagging deeper than thought, Webster in line to get minutes in his stead.  Wiz to ease Porter in when ready.
135Anthony Bennett, SF/PF, CLEFrontcourt is loaded, but loaded with injury-prone guys.  Still won’t reach for #1 pick.  Showing conditioning problems recovering from off-season shoulder surgery.
136Gerald Wallce, SF/PF, BOSWill get minutes early, he’s getting shopped, probably loses value on deadline deal as I doubt he gets traded into a big role.
137Greg Stiemsma, C, NOGoing to start and get the Robin Lopez role, will block and can board better.
138Andrea Bargnani, PF/C, NYKApparently gelling well with Melo and Amar’e is still hurt.  Not going to go nuts for him, but upside warrants the slight boost.
139Nene Hilario, PF/C, WASAdds 3 dimes a game, but up there in age and not a guy I’m drafting earlier.
140Metta World Peace, SF/PF, NYShould play despite not playing under this name.  Probably avoiding.
141Archie Goodwin, SG, PHXThe more I’m looking at guys below him, the more I have the rookie nookie urge to take Goodwin.  6th man role in team that will play him.
142Ramon Sessions, PG/SG, CHAWas on his way to a great 12-13 before a knee injury, should still see good mins.
143Nick Young, SG/SF, LALMight be droppable after Kobe is back, but could have a strong start.
144Alec Burks, SG, UTACould play some point while Burke is out, not ready to move him up much though.
145Iman Shumpert, SG/SF, NYReturned from ACL surgery last year, could be solid after healthy offseason.
146↑ Omri CasspiVery hot preseason and could start at the 4 on a very fast-paced Rockets team.
147Nate Robinson, PG/SG, DENNot a fan, but will get some run as the 1/2 off the bench and is being reported he could play some with Lawson in shortest backcourt ever.  Next they’ll bring in Spud Webb.
148Andre Miller, PG, DENPlayed in every game past 2 years, Nate Robinson steals the possible min. uptick.
149Omer Asik, C, HOUHuge loss of minutes, Dwight/Asik frontcourt would be worst FT% ever.
150J.J. Hickson, PF/C, DENBehind Faried and McGee, will still get pretty solid minutes.
151Lou Williams, PG/SG, ATLStill recovering from the ACL, will be eased in, but still 2nd half upside.
152↓ Trey Burke, PG, UTAAvoiding at all costs now; he needed every minute of preseason experience and now will be eased in a month or so into the season.
153Avery Bradley, PG/SG, BOSYou don’t really want any of the Celtics guards, but they’ll play.
154Robin Lopez, C, PORLooking like he’ll start & could repeat 12-13 which has value even though he blows.
155Marcus Thornton, SG, SACMcLemore takes some of his value, a streamer ThrAGNOF when hot.
156Trevor Ariza, SG/SF, WASEven with Porter lingering injury, don’t think it changes Ariza’s value all that much – boost went to Webster for me.
157Amar’e Stoudemire, PF/C, NYName value probably has him going earlier, not touching him.
158Ray Allen, SG, MIAThrAGNOF!
159Mario Chalmers, PG, MIAHe plays…
160Matt Barnes, SF, LACReally solid multi-cat 12-13, should be used similarly.
161Tony Allen, SG/SF, MEMGives you the minutes, not any upside.
162Lance Stephenson, SG, INDSame as above.
163Samuel Dalembert, C, DALSet to start, won’t play huge minutes but will boost blocks.
164Jared Dudley, SG/SF, LACStill see Barnes playing more minutes, but a chance to start on a good team.
165Luis Scola, PF/C, INDRelegated to the bench, still has efficient scoring upside.
166Vince Carter, SG/SF, DALUnreal he’s still playing, unreal the scoring/3s last year, still some value.
167Tayshaun Prince, SF/PF, MEMStarts, gets minutes, will give you a tiny bit of scoring.
168Thabo Sefolosha, SG/SF, DETSteals specialist, not much else.  Could boost a tad of scoring with no Westbrook for a while
169Otto Porter, Jr., SF, WASMight take a while until we see consistent PT, hip injury recovery and will get eased in when ready, but upside in 2nd half.
170Mo Williams, PG/SG, PORProbably seeing the fewest minutes since a rook, still will find time late in games.
171Darren Collison, PG, LACThink he could see a tad of time at the 2, Bledsoe had value behind Paul too.

172Nerlens Noel, PF/C, PHIWill get eased in, always a chance he has big last couple of months.
173↓ Brandan Wright, PF/C, DALDespite it being a different injury, has had shoulder issues before and will miss a little time.
174Mike Dunleavy, SG/SF, CHIMinutes will come as the backup to Deng and Butler.
175Kosta Koufos, PF/C, MEMWas productive in only 22 minutes/per last year, will get 18-20 and a few boards.
176Brandon Bass, PF/C, BOSUnclear role with Humphries/Wallace stealing some minutes.
177Courtney Lee, SG/SF, BOSThe steal a game gives him a little value in hodgepodge backcourt.
178Markieff Morris, PF, PHXHey, he’s starting.  Deep leagues could do worse this late.
179Glen Davis, PF/C, ORLHurt, probably misses opener, they’re trying to dump him – 180 from my thoughts in May.
180Brandon Rush, SG, UTABurks is by no means a sure thing, could be a deep contributor.
181Thomas Robinson, PF, PORThis deep, there’s late-season upside if LA gets moved/hurt.
182Patrick Patterson, PF/C, SACP Pat is stuck in that 3-man PF rotation with Landry/Jason Thompson.
183Antawn Jamison, PF, LACHe’s old but can still score off the bench as a mid-week streamer.
184Ed Davis, PF/C, MEMRandolph is reliable but old, Davis showed potential with TOR in 1st half of 12-13.
185Caron Butler, SF, MILDelfino injury opens the door for some spot scoring, but his lack of other stats keeps him low for me.
186James Anderson, SG/SF, PHIInteresting that he might start, and that’s about it.  Sixers look awful.
187↑ Tim Hardaway Jr., SG, NYKFlashing good potential in preseason, Shumpert and Smith banged up and Smith suspended first 5 games – think he has some super deep ThrAGNOF value, especially early.
188Alex Len, C, PHOComing off surgery on both ankles I don’t think he’s good even if Gortat is moved.
189Shane Battier, SG/SF, MIAWhen you’re going this deep, it’s gonna start getting ugly.
190Jason Terry, PG/SG, BKNWon’t have much value unless Deron gets hurt, but very possible given history.
191D.J. Augustin, PG, TORNot as good in fantasy as Terry, more likely Lowry gets hurt and D.J. gets mins.
192Toney Douglas, PG/SG, GSCan score off the bench in a fast-paced offense, Curry’s ankles iffy.
193DeMarre Carroll, SF/PF, ATLI always thought he was underrated, will see decent minutes as reserve 2/3.
194↑ Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG/SF, MILJust have a feeling with all the Bucks frontline injuries, the very raw rookie will have a little value.
195Marco Belinelli, SG, SAOn the right team to throw up some ThrAGNOF streaming!
196Carlos Delfino, SG/SF, MILProbably missing the opener, doesn’t need his foot too healthy to camp behind the three point line.
197Wayne Ellington, SG, DALAnother ThrAGNOF streamer, should get decent minutes for shots.
198Marressee Speights, PF/C, GSThink he’s a better player than opportunities he’s been given, works into mins.
199Jermaine O’Neal, C, GSSomehow managed 1.4 blks a game in 12-13 in 18 minutes per.  Reported he might play some with Bogut.
200Boris Diaw, PF/C, SAJust so fun to say his name like Rick Flair, he had to be my Mr. Irrelevant!
