Moving through the positions to the 3, SF looks to be deep just like PGs. You’ve got your elite studs, you mid-level multi-stat gods (looking at you Chandler Parsons and Kawhi Leonard), JB’s crazy sleepers that no one else seems to like (DeMar DeRozan and Gerald Henderson) then old guys that possibly could produce late (pray for Danny Granger‘s knees!). It’s a nice mixed bag.
As mentioned before, all Razzball ranks are broken down by Yahoo position eligibility (view all top 200 here), so there won’t be direct positional crossover to other fantasy sites:
2013-2014 Fantasy SF Rankings
(updated Oct. 8)
POS RANK | OVERALL RANK | PLAYER, POS, TEAM | NOTE |
1 | 1 | ↑ Kevin Durant, SF, OKC | Westbrook injury has me caving to conventional wisdom, no way you can’t go KD 1 |
2 | 2 | ↓ LeBron James, SF/PF, MIA | Still think an elite season coming, but can’t question KD at 1 anymore. |
3 | 3 | James Harden, SG/SF, HOU | Easy to forget he was traded less than a week before 12-13 season. |
4 | 12 | Paul George, SG/SF, IND | Love George as a player, think he’s getting overhyped in fantasy. |
5 | 19 | Carmelo Anthony, SF/PF, NY | Elite scoring, sure, think boards go down and a little injury prone. |
6 | 20 | Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, POR | Wrist 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. |
7 | 25 | Josh Smith, SF/PF, DET | Has opportunity, very volatile in his value. |
8 | 28 | Ersan Ilyasova, SF/PF, MIL | Easy to overlook he was coming off the bench before Skiles fired, huge 2nd half. |
9 | 40 | Rudy Gay, SF/PF, TOR | Buying all things Raptors, solid multi-cat contributor. |
10 | 41 | Kawhi Leonard, SG/SF, SA | Love him, love the multi-cat game, Yahoo at 24 seems extraordinarily high though. |
11 | 45 | Jeff Green, SF/PF, BOS | Huge, huge upside with extraordinary breakout potential. |
12 | 57 | Tobias Harris, SF/PF, ORL | My boyfriend from last year, flashed fantastic goodness in 2nd half. Will start. |
13 | 58 | Chandler Parsons, SF/PF, HOU | Fantastic 12-13, think he has another great, efficient season. |
14 | 59 | Paul Pierce, SF, BKN | Name value and new locale may have someone reach, Yahoo at 87 too low. |
15 | 64 | Klay Thompson, SG/SF, GS | I’ve seen him very overranked, ThrAGNOF! |
16 | 68 | DeMar DeRozan, SG/SF, TOR | A big sleeper of mine, TOR a great line-up now, buying the offseason work on 3s. |
17 | 69 | Gerald Henderson, SG/SF, CHA | Back-to-back sleepers, Henderson showed elite production in 2nd half. |
18 | 70 | Thaddues Young, SF/PF, PHI | Someone has to score in Philly, right? Solid 12-13 as well, but not in love. |
19 | 74 | Luol Deng, SF, CHI | Trade/contract issues persist, but solid player and should be with Bulls all year. |
20 | 76 | Andre Iguodala, SG/SF, DEN | Low floor/low ceiling, moves to another fast-paced team to duplicate 12-13 #s. |
21 | 77 | Jimmy Butler, SG/SF, CHI | A little surprised I’m higher on him than most, will start, multi-cat goodness. |
22 | 78 | J.R. Smith, SG/SF, NYK | Knee injury, suspension for smoking, but past those I’m fine with him here. |
23 | 80 | Gordon Hayward, SG/SF, UTA | Minutes, steals, assists up as 12-13 went on, TOs down, Uta needs consistency. |
24 | 82 | Danny Green, SG/SF, SA | Really underrated multi-cat season: 1.2 stl 0.7 blk 12-13 a little shocking. |
25 | 84 | Wilson Chandler, SG/SF, DEN | Without Gallinari until probably February, Chandler a huge breakout candidate. |
26 | 89 | Wesley Matthews, SG/SF, POR | Don’t see him playing 35 mins a night, even with rook McCollum to miss prolonged time. |
27 | 96 | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, SF, CHA | People overrate a 19-yr old rookie season and write him off, multi-cat breakout. |
28 | 105 | ↓ Tyreke Evans, SG/SF, NO | Ankle dinged up after preseason injury, hate to draft him injured even with report he should make opening night. |
29 | 109 | Joe Johnson, SG/SF, BKN | Someone will reach for name value, scoring/3s down with all the options. |
30 | 112 | Danny Granger, SF, IND | Like Bynum, tough to rank and I won’t be reaching for him – 2-10 in preseason opener. |
31 | 113 | Maurice Harkless, SF, ORL | Flashed multi-cat goodness with 1.2 stl/0.8 blk in only 25 minutes per game. |
32 | 114 | Andrei Kirilenko, SF/PF, BKN | Never been a huge fan, but will still get minutes behind old former Celtics. |
33 | 115 | Harrison Barnes, SF, GS | Potential has always been there, but becomes a 6th man with Iggy. |
34 | 116 | Arron Afflalo, SG/SF, ORL | Empty scoring, but still produces despite status with Magic in turmoil. |
35 | 117 | Shawn Marion, SF/PF, DAL | I don’t buy a repeat, but Marion was huge last year under-the-radar. |
36 | 126 | Kyle Korver, SG/SF, ATL | Despite my reluctance to draft 3-point specialists, was solid in 12-13. |
37 | 128 | ↑ Corey Brewer, SG/SF, MIN | (two 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. |
38 | 129 | Manu Ginobili, SG/SF, SA | Injuries and lower minutes of course still there, but can still produce. |
39 | 130 | Evan Turner, SG/SF, PHI | I just thought he’d be better and the NBA and he’s not, not buying new opportunity. |
40 | 132 | ↑ Martell Webster, SG/SF, WAS | Porter’s hip injury lagging deeper than thought, Webster in line to get minutes in his stead. Wiz to ease Porter in when ready. |
41 | 133 | Anthony Bennett, SF/PF, CLE | Frontcourt is loaded, but loaded with injury-prone guys. Still won’t reach for #1 pick. Showing conditioning problems recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. |
42 | 134 | Gerald Wallce, SF/PF, BOS | Will get minutes early, he’s getting shopped, could lose value on deadline deal. |
43 | 139 | Metta World Peace, SF/PF, NY | Should play despite not playing under this name. Probably avoiding. |
44 | 143 | Nick Young, SG/SF, LAL | Might be droppable after Kobe is back, but could have a strong start. |
45 | 146 | Iman Shumpert, SG/SF, NY | Returned from ACL surgery last year, could be solid after healthy offseason. |
46 | 156 | Trevor Ariza, SG/SF, WAS | Even with Porter lingering injury, don’t think it changes Ariza’s value all that much – boost went to Webster for me. |
47 | 160 | Matt Barnes, SF, LAC | Really solid multi-cat 12-13, should be used similarly. |
48 | 161 | Tony Allen, SG/SF, MEM | Gives you the minutes, not any upside. |
49 | 164 | Jared Dudley, SG/SF, LAC | Still see Barnes playing more minutes, but a chance to start on a good team. |
50 | 166 | Vince Carter, SG/SF, DAL | Unreal he’s still playing, unreal the scoring/3s last year, still some value. |
51 | 168 | Tayshaun Prince, SF/PF, MEM | Starts, gets minutes, will give you a tiny bit of scoring. |
52 | 169 | Thabo Sefolosha, SG/SF, DET | Steals specialist, not much else. Could boost a tad of socring with no Westbrook for a while |
53 | 170 | ↓ Otto Porter, Jr., SF, WAS | Might take a while until we see consistent PT, hip injury recovery and will get eased in when ready, but upside in 2nd half. |
54 | 173 | Carl Landry, SF/PF, SAC | Revolving door at the 4 for the Kings, I think Landry is most consistent. |
55 | 175 | Mike Dunleavy, SG/SF, CHI | Minutes will come as the backup to Deng and Butler. |
56 | 178 | Courtney Lee, SG/SF, BOS | The steal a game gives him a little value in hodgepodge backcourt. |
57 | 186 | ↑ Caron Butler, SF, MIL | Delfino injury opens the door for some spot scoring, but his lack of other stats keeps him low for me. |
58 | 187 | ↑ James Anderson, SG/SF, PHI | Interesting that he might start, and that’s about it. Sixers look awful. |
59 | 189 | Shane Battier, SG/SF, MIA | When you’re going this deep, it’s gonna start getting ugly. |
60 | 193 | DeMarre Carroll, SF/PF, ATL | I always thought he was underrated, will see decent minutes as reserve 2/3. |
61 | 196 | ↓ Carlos Delfino, SG/SF, MIL | Probably missing the opener, doesn’t need his foot too healthy to camp behind the three point line. |
