Man, you guys don’t even know. There’s been a mob outside my house every night for the past two weeks carrying tiki torches and screaming, “We want the Top 200 with stats!” Or at least I think that’s what they were saying. Anyways, big shout out to Rudy who waved his magic wand and created the beautiful looking spreadsheet below. It even sorts. Here is Rudy in his lab:
Before I continue, RCLs are up and running, so come one come all. See if you are truly the best of the best. Sign up HERE.
Just a few bullet points regarding the updated rankings.
- I moved KAT from #4 to #2. The more I thought about it and the more I participated in drafts, that center eligibility, combined with the across-the-board stats he puts up puts him ahead of Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. By the time your second round pick comes around, potentially eight centers are off the board.
- I moved Isaiah Thomas way down. I wanted to punt him out of the Top 200, but I love him too much. Here’s the thing, while the headlines are saying he could be back in January, I have some serious doubts. Take a look at these quotes: “Thomas was advised by the Celtics to take three months off following the Eastern Conference finals to heal the hip, and the inactive recovery plan did not bear many improvements.” That’s not good. But wait, it gets even better. “Since adopting the Cavs’ plan – which includes a nutritional approach – Thomas has made gains both physically and mentally, sources said, as he has experienced positive results.” What?! That’s some good ass food they got in Cleveland. It’s not done, though. “Thomas’ rehab has gone so well the Cavs have had to urge him to be patient with his eventual return date…The team is also ruling out surgery as an option…However, they could explore a more radical treatment option such as a platelet-rich plasma injection into the hip as time goes on.” I don’t know about you but my BS antenna just bugged the F out. Of course, the risk/reward is worth it at some point in the draft. Unfortunately, I’ve been seeing him go as high as the third round. There is no way I’m spending that high-draft capital for a, in my opinion, huge risk.
- With Alan Williams done for the year due to knee surgery, I replaced him with Alex Len.
- Markieff Morris had sports hernia surgery and will most likely miss 15 games. I knocked him down from #81 to #163.
Alright, let me know if I missed anything. Here you guys go:

Why is kyrie ranked so low? I have the 10th pick in a 16m 11cat league. Can’t justify jokic at 10 and it looks like it’ll be the likes of wall, lbj, dmc available. Kyrie seems like he could be fun to own, and is still elite for the pg position. Are we sure 10 is a reach for him?
@Hamtime: I just don’t think he automatically replicates the stats from last year’s IT. In addition, I do think some of his stats in Cleveland were outliers. He averaged 25.2 ppg on 19.7 shots. I think 16 shots per game with a 21 ppg average seem more likely. The Celtics have a bunch of capable scorers, so I don’t think the volume will necessarily be there. I do think the efficiency and assists might be better, though. I just can’t put him ahead of Lillard or Wall. Can you?
@Son: How do you think the Hayward injury affects Kyrie’s value? Surely he moves higher than 20th considering the larger role he has to (and can, imo) fill.
For sure. Usage should increase
no love for Mirotic in top200??
I’ve never been a Mirotic guy. Plus, how many minutes is he going to get? He may get a lot early in the season, but Markkanen is going to soak up most of them as the season progresses. With that said, I didn’t put him into the initial Top 200 because he wasn’t signed yet. In my most recent update, I did overlook him. So, he would probably make it into the Top 200. I’ll take a look and see where I’d slot him in. Thanks for the heads up
@Son:
You think Markkanen will play more? I think Mirotic will get at least 25mins, the bulls are so bad though who knows what will happen on any given night, Mirotic can also play SF
Usage will only go up with Wade gone, he’s good for a steal and a block, couple 3’s and some rebounds to go with 15 points if he gets decent minutes? big upside and downside i think, Top50 player last 2 months of season..
@iStylei: You may very well be right, especially since Paul Freaking Zipser is slated to start at small forward. I really have no motivation to put Mirotic into the Top 200, but you are right. He does probably deserve to be there. I’ll take a look and try and figure out a spot for him. As for Markkanen, I do think he will eventually soak up most of the minutes. What possible reason could the Bulls have for not giving him time?
Hey Son! Where have you been my Fantasy god??? Lol kidding aside, there is an on-going trade now, my Dipo for Jrue. We both know that I have been lacking assists based on my draft last time. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks as always!
@Renz: Go get Ball! Just playing. I’m good with the trade.
@Son:
Alright, thanks!! 🙂 I had a huge upgrade from PJ Tucker to Seth Curry lol. I am rooting for my draft this season, I see myself as a contender with the balance I have right now after I get Jrue. Have a good night!
@Renz: You too!
@Son:
Hey Son this might be annoying already for consultations, but I have come up with another trade, and this is for Klay+Dipo for Green+Horford. The reason why I like this better than Dipo-Jrue is the benifit of getting Reb/Assists/Steals/Blocks that I will be able to get. Since I have tons of source in 3pts/pts. I think it would not hurt me that much losing them for other aspect of cat. What’s your view on this? Below is the list of my team, again lol.
Jokic
Turner
Klay Thompson // Green
Oladipo // Horford
Avery Bradley
Aaron Gordon
Lin
Taurean Prince
Jamal Murray
Dedmon
Crabbe
Josh Richardson
Seth Curry
Thanks!
@Renz: I like it. Big men are valuable commodities, especially 2 that give assists and can shoot. Can always find 3 point specialists.
@Son:
The boss approves! This is a done deal. Thanks, guru!
@Renz: Ha! I am but a man. A handsome man, yet still a man
@Son:
Hahaha! Cool stuff! Something came up and the other guy changes his mind, so what do you think of his offer?
Klay-Dipo-A.Gordon for his Dray-A.Horf+DSJ
@Renz: I like it
Alright thanks man!
Son! What do you think of my Durant & CJ mcc
For Curry & Draymond? It’s a 9 cat keeper and my other keeper is porz.
Wow. I gotta side with the KD/CJ side
Damn ok. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet but almost. Any reasons? Steph and kd are close and dray is generally ranked a few spots higher than cj. It’s a massive loss in points & fg% but I get elite steals, great ast, 3’s. But the points is a quite a big hit.
It’s a compelling trade no doubt. Always have to consider roster construction and such. With that said, in a vacuum, KD is the best player and I’m very bullish on CJ. With that said, you pretty much showed the pros/cons, which brings me to the second sentence. Roster construction.
Hello son. Thinking about my leagues settings. Do you prefer h2h most cats or h2h each cat? Also, for a 10 teamer, Im wondering if a starting lineup of PG PG SG SG SF SF PF PF C C U U would be fun w adding more strategic importance of positional eligibility compared to alternative lineup configs. Do you have an opinion? Thx
Hey Waffles. I’m all for changing up settings to spice up leagues. As a matter of fact, you should check out Tad’s post: http://basketball.razzball.com/run-the-numbers-spice-up-your-fantasy-life. I really have no preference. I just want to draft and play, regardless of the settings.
I just did my league’s draft. I select 14th in a 14 team. Boooo. League has the PG, G, SG, SF, PF, F C, UTIL, UTIL, UTIL, BN, BN, BN positions. Stats are FG%, FTM, Ft%, 3PTM, 3PT%, PTS REB AST ST BLK TO. Ta ta ta taaaa: (14) CP3, (15) Gobert, (42) Rubio, (43) BenSimmons (is it wrong believing him?), (70) DSJ (Also the same), (71) Dwight Howard (punt ft%”maneuver), (98)JJ Redick ,(99) Pau Gasol, (126) Bazemore, (127) Wade, (154) Smart, (155) Holmes, (182) Jaylen Broen. Can you evaluate my decision? Thx.
@Emre: Love the CP3/Gobert combo. I don’t think it’s wrong to believe in Simmons. There’s just a lot of unknown right now. Light on 3s.
@Son: Understood sir. I will try to land 3p with a few trades. Maybe Gasol can go.
@Emre: You can find those guys on the waiver wire most likely
Hello Son, love what you’ve been doing so far dude!! Need a little advice from you on fixing up my team…
Just finished up a 9 cat roto, 8 team league draft. Snagged the first pick which became more difficult the closer it got to draft time, however this is what I managed…
Giannis (1), Dame (16), Myles Turner (17), Kevin Love (32), Conley (33), Schroder (48), Batum (49), Oladipo (64), Randle (65), Isaiah Thomas (80), Willy Hernangomez (81), Gary harris (96), Enes Kanter (97)
Feeling like im light on bigs and will have a free spot with IT on the IR for a bit, anyone in particular you like as a FA pick up?? (thought about chriss, jamychal green, Dennis smith jr, bazemore or welcome to any other suggestions)
@Jay: You know my love for DSJ, but I think the potential of Chriss is too much to pass up
I’m on H2H standard 9cat dynasty league. We have 3 keepers. 2 of my keeper players are Steph and Harden. I’m torn between Draymond back and Embiid. I’m leaning towards Embiid but I’m not sure how his health will play along. I’ll be picking 9th on the draft maybe I could snatch Draymond on the draft (or not). Your thoughts?
Really depends on your risk tolerance and philosophy. Personally, I’d go with Embiid as the ceiling is League winning-seque. But, the injury concern is real. If you can’t handle that variance, go with Draymond. If not, YOLO
@Son: Still not decided though with Dray or Embiid. lol. On another note, how would you build your team if you have Steph and Harden on your team?
@SCCD: Such a tough one. Comes down to risk tolerance. If you have a YOLO mindset, you go Embiid because if he plays 60 games, he could be a league winner. Dray has such a crazy floor though.
Not sure I’d want taint the FT% by chasing the block specialists. Would probably want to accentuate the strengths you have and fill in with like Gorgui Dieng, James Johnson, Dewayne Dedmon, WCS, etc…
Razzball Nation avoid drafting Gortat. The Ian Mahinmi addition really hurts him. He won’t finish in the top 125 this season. Book it!
@Jake: Very possible
Can you include FGA and FTA projections?
@Spencer: I would rather keep the chart without those categories. I like to keep things as clean and simple as possible. If that’s something that most of the community clamors for, though, I could include them for next year.
@Son: I understand. Most people will not find any use for it. However, I do believe it to be crucial information. So if this can be the starting of the clamoring, that would be nice.
For instance, Dwight Howard was 2x worse than Clint Capela in FT% last year due to FTA. Comparing their 53.3% to 53.1% would not tell you that.
@Spencer: No doubt. I’m a man of the people, so if enough people want it, I’ll implement it for next year.
Hello,
Lonzo’s pts are extremely high if you think of his % and the only 1 projected three. You have missed something there I believe. Either his % should be higher, or his pts or his 3s(doubled at least to even reach 15). 15 pts on 39% is too many.
@lis9: Yeah, you’re right. I had his FG% much higher initially, but I overcompensated on the downside to balance out my fandom.
Great work! One thing though, I think Tristan Thompson’s ft% got doubled when put in.
Any good punt ft% players you’d particularly target in the middle or later rounds?
@Dusty: Ha! That’s weird. Thanks for the heads up. As for punt ft% guys, Capela…Dwight…Adams
Is Razz gonna publish an auction value article? Love what you guys do.
Thanks Joseph. There’s a very good chance that we will
I got a Draft later (12 hrs from time of posting). 20 teams 9 cats
I got Westy, kemba, Aaron, Bogdanovic (rookie pick)as keepers. I will be drafting 18th and Im planning to take 2 Centers b2b.. Capela, chriss gortat, WCS Embiid (if he falls that low coz of injury). but checking the draft board Roco and Ariza “might” be available. If any of the 2 wing falls at the 18th should I make a play for them and take a C on the next rd? Worried about lacking Bigs esp having less usable big later at the draft. Im playing on ESPN so position eligibility might scarce.
Value or Need? What do you think guys.
Thank you
@TheBeardedOne: I’d take RoCo if there then a big. If not, 2 bigs
Hi Son.
Hi have a draft in 6 days, 12 teams, ROTO, 9 cat.. I pick 8 and this is my draft targets.. what your thought? its ESPN so the rank is stupidly weird lol
round 1 (8) Stephen Curry (7)
round 2 (19) Myles Turner (26)
round 3 (34) Jusuf Nurkic(37)
round 4 (45) Ricky Rubio (57)
round 5 (60) Victor Oladipo (65)
round 6 (71) Willy Hernangomez (95)
round 7 (86) Dennis Smith Jr (106)
round 8 (97) Gary Harris (116)
round 9 (112) Aaron Gordon (136)
round 10 (123) Jamal Murray (147)
round 11 (138) Patty Mills (292)
round 12 (149) Dewayne Dedmon (412)
round 13 (164) Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (NA)
@moshe amira: I’m good with that, but remain flexible. Often times, when you map out a draft with specific targets, you box yourself in and end of missing value that falls to you. As Bruce Lee said, “Be like water.”
@Son: haha of course, that list is a basic targets if something better falls I jump lol
what about pts? not low?
@moshe amira: You have DSJ!!!! You’ll be fine.
So I got the 10th overall pick in an 18-teamer, 9-cat league. Who should I go for? Been thinking maybe Chris Paul, or Jokic then punt points altogether then build around %/AST/D-Stats/3s. Next pick should be at #27, if I went for CP3, I probably should partner him with a center that can provide high volume boards, decent FG with serviceable blocks. But the problem is that the Whitesides and the Goberts are already gone by this time. Hah. And I don’t wanna take DeAndre early!
I might also take CJ McCollum next for the elite %, 3s and the ability to dish out dimes, though his lack of steals is such a bummer to be honest. Or should I go for Paul George instead if he were still available? His steals will still be there, but I’m not so sure about everything else with Russell and Melo as his teammates.
Next is pick at #46. I’m thinking of nabbing either Vucevic or DeAndre here.
BUT IF I DID GO FOR JOKIC… I’m thinking of getting Conley next at 27, and then prolly DeAndre? What do you think, buddy?
@Dante Green: You know I’m a Jokic guy so….although I really do love CP3 this year. I lean towards Jokic though. I’m good with Conley, but not really a fan of Jordan
@Son:
At age 32, CP3 makes me wanna think he shouldn’t be drafted inside the top 10. Hah Jokic on the other hand lacks blocks! But is younger and hasn’t reached full potential yet! I’m really torn. Jokic though is perfect for punting blocks.. Hmm OK I’m lost. Hah
@Dante Green: Yeah, a legitimate concern. I just love the new situation for CP3. As for Jokic, I do think he can get to over a block per game.
If it was easy, it wouldn’t be fun!
What’s good SON? So I’m in a 10-team keeper league (you get to keep eight) with an old-school scoring system. That is, you can start 3 guards, 3 forwards, and 2 centers on any given matchup night and you score the three highest categories out of points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. For example, if John Wall had a 22pt/8ast/3reb/4stl/0blk night, he would register 34 total points (i.e., points + assists + steals).
That being said, here is my current roster that I need to cut down to eight:
G – Victor Oladipo
G – Zach LaVine*
G – Ricky Rubio
G – Seth Curry
G – Josh Richardson
G – Yogi Ferrell
G/F – Kawhi Leonard
G/F – Khris Middleton
G/F – Jaylen Brown
F – T.J. Warren
F/C – Anthony Davis
F/C – Andre Drummond
F/C – Derrick Favors
F/C – Nerlens Noel
F/C – Dragan Bender
The no-brainers are Davis, Leonard, Drummond, Oladipo, and Middleton. With the other three spots I’m thinking Favors, Noel, and LaVine.
What do you think as far as keepers go?
I’d go Noel, Richardson, and Rubio
@Son: I have the #1 pick so will end up with either Lonzo Ball or Dennis Smith Jr. That’s why I was thinking keeping another big man in Favors over a guard. Speaking of drafting rookies, who would you take if you had the #1 overall pick of the litter?
@Slimcompoop: I get it. I like Favors, but there’s a lot of injury risk there. Plus, Rubio provides a lot in the valuable assist category. As much as I love DSJ, I’m going Ball. I love him a lot as well. I just think he’s a triple-dub threat every night
@Son: I was thinking the same thing as I’m a fan of Lonzo Ball having the reigns in L.A. However, when thinking about a keeper league, Ball kind of reminds me of Rajon Rondo whereas Smith Jr. could be a Damien Lillard type. Do you buy into those comparisons? Appreciate your feedback.
@Slimcompoop: I think Ball shoots much better than Rondo. I love DSJ. He reminds me of Steve Francis
New to fantasy basketball….
Entering an 8 team points league with no averages……espn so looking at their rankings (for others who will do it, not me).
1) Big men like Drummond and DeAndre worth a ton here, right? We get points for double doubles and triple doubles too.
2) Listening to podcasts, I’ve heard a consensus that big men are really good this year with SG coming later in the draft. Would it be viable to go with KAT 1st round and Jokic 2ns round? Or go small to start, say Greek Freak and (hopefully) LeBron to start then take the C in question 1) to round out roster?
3) Who are some guys I should target more in points leagues and less in average driven leagues?
I’ll probably have more questions soon:)
Yes, the Drummonds and DJs of the world have elevated value. You can always find a SG. In that format, Lebron and Giannis are 1-2. Since every team will probably be stacked, you really need to differentiate yourself with category winners.
@Son:
Thanks for the tip. 8 teamer makes it tough so I need to remember not to dig too deep. I think getting LeBron and Freak might be a stretch. Going by your rankings, you’d take Freak 1st, so regardless of where I pick, you’re suggesting I take him? He’s not ranked 1st at ESPN and they may just go by their rankings, meaning I get lucky,
@Dave: I have the Freak #1, but that’s my personal bias. I think he and KAT are 1a/1b
Yow! 12teams h2h, drafting 12th. Thinking of getting CP3 and Cousins or should i go for double bigs early by getting Cousins and Gobert. Which way should I go?
I like both paths. It’s like asking me which child I like more. Whichever way you go, it defines the rest of your draft
Hey great sortable ranks! Intrigued by the CP3 love. I have #1 pick in my 10 team 8 cat H2H league (no TO). We keep 5 guys for $45 max, was planning on keeping Jokic $6, Kristaps ($9) Conley ($6) Middleton ($8) and Nurk ($5) and letting $14 Curry go to draft him #1 where his value resets to $12 and building up for long term.
CP3 owner doesn’t have the room to keep him so I was expecting him to be the other option for #1 pick and wasn’t thrilled with him at 32 yo and having to share with Harden.
Would you reconsider this approach? I traded $5 Parker and $5 A. Gordon for Conley, and a $5 Smart for Middleton (cap issues on both teams) so I’d look the fool for not keeping them.
Thanks!
Unless the league can vote on moves and deduct points or something, who gives a shit. It’s your team so you do you. Often times, the most foolish decision is not acting when new information comes to light. Hunting for value is always a good thing, but not at the expense of getting better players. I’d keep Curry and grab CP3
@Son:
Thanks son!
Who do you boot from that group factoring value, roster construct etc? FWIW guys go up $1 per year, $15 max.
@Bigken: Bump Nurk
deciding on my last keeper to go with Durant Jokic and M Turner
who would you pick between Middleton, Brogdon, Chriss, Ingram orJamal Murray
thanks
@slimbo: Ingram and either Murray or Middleton
Good day guys! Been a follower of Razzball for 3 years already and your site has been very helpful in the NBA fantasy leagues that I joined. Currently, I need assistance on how to improve my roster for a 16 team standard 9-CAT ROTO league. Your inputs/ recommendations
are very welcome and appreciated. My team is below:
S. Curry GS – PG,SG
M. Gasol Mem – C
P. Millsap Den – PF,C
R. Covington Phi – SF,PF
J. Randle LAL – PF
D. Collison Ind – PG,SG

A. Crabbe Bkn – PG,SG
D. Mitchell Uta – SG
B. Adebayo MIA – C
K. Korver Cle – SG,SF
W. Selden Mem – SF
C. Lee NY – SG,SF
Thanks from the Philippines and more power Razzball!!!
Viva la Razzball! Nice team for a 16-team. Should do very well in 3 pointers. Light on blocks and boards
Some of your rankings are head scratchers…
You have Lonzo Ball in the top 50 but if he were to actually post your projections he would not be inside the top 100.
Yeah, I don’t think projections and rankings always correlate. Projections are usually very conservative in nature, while rankings incorporate other variables, such as upside and where I’d draft a player.
Thanks, Son. Do you know if there will be any 8-Cat rankings published here?
@jimmy: Probably not, but if I have time, I will try and get to it
@Son: Thank you. Got a top 10 off the top of your head?
@jimmy: Curry, Harden, Westbrook, G, KD, KAT, Wall, Kawhi,Jokic, and AD. Lebron right there as well.
Hello – Thanks for your insight.
12 Team Keeper/Dynasty Question:
Trade Porzingis and my 1st rd (7th pick) for Jokic and a 2nd rd(8th pick)?
My Team Below:
Harden
Antetokounmpo
Lilliard
Dieng
Porzingis
Booker
Len
G Harris
Hardawaay
Cauley-Stein
Chriss
Ingram
@Jeff Aces:
10-CAT Roto: FG%/FT%/3PM/Assist/Steals/RB/Blocks/TO/DD/Points
I would not
@Son:
Who do you think i should try and get? I def need a PG and C
@Jeff Aces: Really tough to say, as I don’t know the league context, but if you are hunting for assists then I’d have no problem trading for Jokic
Mr. Son,
I’m in a 12 team auction league, 15 players, $200 initial salary. I can get Kawhi at $75 for one year. That seems pretty high to me, but would appreciate your thoughts.
I’m planning to keep Avery Bradley at $15, Marc Gasol $27, Elfrid Payton $9, Ricky Rubio $16, though if any of those look egregious please let me know. Thanks!
Yeah. That’s too high. I think Bradley and Rubio are a little high, more so Bradley
@Son: Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think Bradley regresses in rebounds, or is $15 just overpriced even if he repeats last year? I’m leaning towards keeping Rubio for the assists, though I have gone back and forth a bit.
I also have the ability to keep Elfrid for 2 years at $14 per year, but I think that’s kind of risky…
@Mark: He won’t dish out many dimes and the rebound number from last season may be an outlier.
I’m with you on Rubio.
Elfrid is risky but there’s a high ceiling. All depends on your risk tolerance
@Son: Much appreciated, thanks again.
@Mark: Anytime
@Son: Sorry, one other, Ibaka at 23? I think I need to let him go at that price.
@Mark: Agreed
@Son: Thanks, good to run this by someone who knows what they’re talking about more than I do.
@Mark: That’s debateable, but anytime I can help, I’m always down
@Son: Ha, sounds good, thanks. In that case…I got offered Jrue ($11 for one year, $16 for 2) for Rubio ($16 for one year, $21 for 2). I think Rubio is just better for a year, even for $5 more, but it’s a bit tempting.
Also, if I can get one of these guys in a trade at these prices, would you keep any? Wall at 50, Beverly at 6, W. Hernangomez at 10, Millsap at 44, Barnes at 9. I think yes to Wall, no to the others, but Millsap and to a lesser extent Barnes not far off. Thanks again.
@Mark: I’d rather have Rubio. Wall at $50 sounds like fair value. I like both Beverly and Willy. Milsap at $44 seems high, even though i really love him this year. Barnes at $9 seems fair
@Son: I can’t reply to your latest response for some reason, but thanks!
Why does John Wall project to shoot 88% from the line?
@Bootsy323: Good looking out. Should be 80. Fixing now
Hey Son, very nice ranking! what do you think about my team? We just drafted last night and im not vey sarisfied with my team. I’m trying to punt assist. Should I make some trades? 16 team h2h. Thanks!
1. (2) Kevin Durant (GS – SF,PF)
2. (31) Kevin Love (Cle – PF,C)
3. (34) Paul Millsap (Den – PF,C)

13. (194) Danny Green
I’m not a big punt category kind of guy. With that said, if you do it have to have a plan on really being dominant in the other categories to make up for the punt. Ask yourself where you are dominant and where you are weak? That will guide you on where to go. Some really good content will be coming out soon from some of our new writers on punting categories. Make sure to check those out
This might be a stupid question. But what do you type into the blank box so turnovers aren’t factored into the rankings? I play in an 8 cat so would be interesting to see the difference without the to’s. Thanks heaps!
Good question. I’m not sure you can do that the way the table is configured. I will try and find out.
Awesome thanks! Would make the table great for those using punt strategies as you could just turn off points, or FG etc.
Love your work!
@Hoz: Much appreciated. Rudy is the man, though, and he’s the one that put the table together. I shall ask the wizard
@Hoz: Now that I think about it, it doesn’t make a difference. The rankings were done by me for 9-cat. For 8-cat, I would have to manually rank them separately. When you sort by category, it just ranks them by that specific category.
Ola brother! After all negotiations, here is the line up I got now from
Jokic
Turner
Thompson
Oladipo
Bradley
Gordon
Lin
Prince
Murray
Dedmon
Crabbe
Richardson
Tucker
to
Jokic
Turner
Green
Horford
Bradley
DSJ
Chriss
Prince
Murray
Dedmon
Crabbe
Richardson
Seth Curry
has it improved from since then?
@Renz: You’ve been busy. I like it
@Son:
Yes and I think I will stick to this line-up now and see how the season goes. Thank you so much for your inputs! Looking forward for more! Cheers!
I was offered Blake Griffin at $44 next year in a $200 auction league (12 team). Without Paul his numbers could be career bests, but it’s steep especially given the injury risk. I’d be giving up guys I wasn’t planning to keep. What do you think? Thank you!
@Mark: I think that’s too much
@Son: Cool, thanks. Another owner is adding more to try to send me Jrue ($11) for Rubio ($16). Is Jrue at $11 a bad value? Been debating back and forth, even though Rubio is better as the main piece. Thanks again for being helpful a sounding board.
No prob. Anytime. Price is good, but he’s not dishing out as many assists as last season
@Son: Thanks, yeah, that’s my concern, I may flip a coin. Your response time is Grey-esque, thanks again.
@Mark: Ah, the good ole flipping the coin strategy. I like it. I also incorporate the “which scenario would piss me off more?”
Ha! Thanks Mark. Anytime. Grey is on another level in terms of writing and fantasy knowledge, so the only way to experience the Grey-life is to try to replicate the mortal things in life.
Hi Son,
we have a unique league where we play weekly H2H and 7 Cats (no %) only 3’s, pts, rebs, ass, blks, stls, To’s
How would you go about ranking players without %’s? and who would be your top 20 based on this format?
Doesn’t change that much. Mostly the same players, just tweaking the order a bit. You elevate LeBron and Gobert. Basically, look at the players with high/low percentages either from the field or charity stripe.
@Son: Thanks Son. Appreciated
@Bawlers: Anytime
Sup, Son? Good day. 🙂
What you think about my team? I’m playing on a 14 team, 9 cat., h2h league.

Thanks.
@ReMurloc: I like it. Hope the young cats step up
@Son: Thanks !
There are some interesting player in FA:
Kyle Kuzma
Jonathan Isaac
Yogi Ferrell
Luke Kennard
Kris Dunn
Justin Holiday
Do you think there is some players that can help my team ?
@ReMurloc: I think you have to pick up Kuzma just in case.
Where are Parker, Lavine, Randolph, and Nikola Mirotic?
Parker and Lavine due to injury. I have my doubts. Randolph could have been in, but I have concerns how many minutes he plays, especially later in the season. Could I have put him in? Sure, but I chose other players. As for Mirotic, I put the list together before he signed and did not include in the update. Was an oversight in my part.
@Son: sounds good. Thx!
Hi son,
My Beal and George Hill for Middleton and Aaron Gordon?
They have offered the trade. We play 7 cat daily H2h
In a vacuum, I like the Middleton/Gordon side better.
Is this the thread that will reflect updated rankings leading up to season open?
any rankings/advice for 10 cat leagues (OREB) h2h?
thanks
@waffles: Yes. Will try and keep it updated, but not sure how often yet.
As for OREB, really elevates Gobert and Whiteside, but makes Drummond and Howard more viable. KAT and Jokic get that much better.
Hi Son,
Team below. A trade offered;
My Paul and be for his Lillard and Middleton

@Bawler: Paul and Beal that is
@Bawler: I like the Paul/Beal side more
@Son: thank you
I’ll get a list of wire players this afternoon – see if you think any of them would add more value to my team above. What are thoughts on my draft?
@Bawler: I like it. 8-team league, can take more risks. I like everyone except Hill and Evans
@Son: Thanks. Ok so i’ve just traded George Hill for Jabari parker – i can use my empty IL for him. This means i have a free spot and possibly 2 more if i drop Tyreke.
Here is the top 50 wire player list, would love your thoughts on which player(s) would compliment my team dynamic.:

@Bawler: Is pick up Richaun Holmes. You know I love DSJ, so either him or KCP
Points league with 8 keepers…I’m keeping Kawhi, Davis, Drummond, Middleton, Oladipo, Favors, and Noel. I have one more slot and have been debating between keeping Rubio or LaVine for a couple weeks. I have the #1 pick and will be taking Lonzo Ball.
Rubio had a great 2nd half last year and seems to be in a better location with Utah. I know LaVine is out till mid-November and will be eased back into action, so that’s not that appealing, competing wise. However, the Bulls are TERRIBLE and a fully healthy LaVine (say January) is going to be their #1 option.
It is a keeper league. Who would you pick between Rubio and LaVine going forward? Thanks for the feedback.
@Slimcompoop: You make good points. I prefer Rubio, though. Keep in mind that I’ve never been a big Lavine guy and I’m always leery of guys coming off injury.
These rankings and the draft guide by Ringer helped me in my draft a bunch! Thank you!
I ended up getting 1st overall pick in 14 team 9-cat Roto, i’d love to hear your opinion on it.
I really think i have a good chance placing top 2 bar any injuries to my team.
1. Giannis
2. Horford
3. Millsap
4. D’Angelo
5′ Lonzo
6. Pat Beverly
7. Marvin Williams
8. Allen Crabbe
9. Dedmon
10. Justise Winslow
11. Will Barton
12. Iggy
13. Thon Maker
Glad to hear. Thanks! You may be a little light on boards and blocks, but I do like the squad
Hey 9cat 12 team league Headto Head. Had a shocker misclicking CP with my 9th pick but think I recovered ok.
9th CP
16th DeMarcus Cousins
33rd Khlay Thompson
40th Al Horford
57 RoCo
64 Ibaka
81st IT (can put in IR)
88 Teodosic
105 Rudy Gay
112 Derrick Favors
129 N. Powell
136 KUUUUUZZZZZZMMMMAAAAAA
153 Harkless
Waivers yet to go through, not much there but thinking Jeremy lamb or Mudiay if by some miracle he snags the starting gig.
Who were planning on selecting at 9? KUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZma. Love it!
I’d rather have Lamb than Mudiay
@Son:
Was high on AD or LeBrob by looking back glad I didn’t go LeBron. 2 people ended up punting FTs and if I went LB would of done the same. Yeah Lamb was also my first thought. Anyone I should try target in teams that may strengthen my squad?
@Fabio: AD would’ve been nice….or it could’ve been the worst! As for your question, can’t say because I don’t know who’s available
What are your thoughts on Isaiah Thomas in a dynasty league? Is he still a top 30 player going beyond this season?
I have my doubts. Injury and age concerns for me.
Hey SON. I’m a long time fantasy baseball player (2003 and on) but never done fantasy basketball. A friend of mine has invited me to join a league this year though. Any suggestions on where to get a decent primer on basic fantasy basketball strategy? Thanks!
You’re there already! We have tons of content on draft strategies, but it’s the community that makes it great. Ask away. Either myself or someone else will try and help you as much as we can.
@Son: sweet. Yeah I love razzball’s baseball page (Grey’s the man). You’ll definitely see me here a lot. Have some new stats and new names to get to know. First question: does FB tend to be ‘top heavy’? Like, how big an advantage is draft position on winning a league? I’m sure that depends on the league settings but in general is there a significant difference between 1-10? 1-15?
@TheRealAdamKing: Yes, Grey is the man! Basketball is top heavy, but you don’t need a top 10 pick to win. As you said, league settings definitely skews things one way or the other. There are many paths and strategies to bring victory, so don’t fret.
16 team h2h 10 cat (OREB)
PG- Chris Paul (pick #15)
SG- Gary Harris (79) woo
G- Allen Crabbe (143) he doesnt excite me but at this point I needed a G and saw you have him at #71. is the hope that he’ll bomb some 3’s with decent %s?
G- Normal Powell (178)
SF Aaron Gordon (50) is 50 high? I wanted him and he wouldn’t have lasted longer
PF Myles Turner (18)
F Derrick Favors (82) I think he can be a steal at 82
F Taurean Prince (111)
C Jusuf Nurkic (47) I’d like to go safer at pick 47 in a 16 teamer but I just like his game so much
Util TJ Warren (114)
Bench John Collins (146)
Bench Alex Len (175)
Bench Stanley Johnson (207)
Bench Jonathon Simmons (210)
what do you think? any weaknesses? thanks
@waffles: I probably have to put Crabbe lower, since he may not get as many minutes as I initially hoped. With that said, he’s going to chuck 3s and the Nets play at such a fast pace.
I’m with you on Nurk. Love his game. Just hope he stays healthy.
I love Gordon as well.
A balanced squad.
hey guys
just had my main draft and as always you have been a big help, so would love to see what you think .
Picked at 8 , 12 team h2h, 9 cat
PG – CP3
SG – Garry Harris
SF – Kawhi leonard
PF- Milsap
C – Capella (man those C’s thin out but when he was still there i HAD to take CP3 with my 2nd )
G – Shroeder (Im high on him this year)
F – Ariza
Util – Dennis Smith Jr
Util – Nerlens Noel
Util – Taureen Prince
Bench – Josh Richardson
Bench – Dwayne Dedmon
Bench – Chandler parsons (streamer spot )
I’m happyish though don’t like where I’m at with assists. There’s a fair bit of boom or bust in the mid-late rounds which isnt normaly how I draft so it’s got me nervy!
Would love to hear thoughts and any suggestions
@Q: You know I love CP3 so….I’m a little concerned with Kawhi, though. That injury is a little scary. Big men do thin out fast but I like how you got Dedmon and Noel later. I’ve gone the same path as well. Personally, I think mid-late rounds is when you should go upside. You play to win the game!
@Son:
ha makes me feel a little better man, cheers
Anything you feel i should target via trade or wire? I feel a little low on assists and it’s freaking me out as my teams are usually strong there
Kawhi I’m reading it’s precautionary (fingers friggen crossed!)
@Q: Hard to say since I don’t know who’s available
Hey,
I’ve been following razzball basketball for a few yrs now with JB, so I look forward to reading your content this season! Quick question, I just finished my draft last night and picked up Batum in the mid rounds not realizing he is going to be out a few months…does his rank here in the mid 40s reflect the injury? Thanks for the time.
@Vinh: Thanks Vinh! No, he should be much lower now
hi Son..
I need a backup canter and I was suggested Alex Len for my Marvin Williams.. worth it? my only canter is Nurk.
@moshe amira: I like Len but I’d rather have Marvin.
Are you guys gonna put up a final updated rankings before regular season starts?
Yes
Just completed my draft, 10 team, H2H, 9-cat. I had the 5th overall pick and I mostly utilized your rankings above.
1 Antetokounmpo
2 Chris Paul
3 Myles Turner
4 Paul Milsap
5 Brook Lopez
6 Jeff Teague (I passed up Nurkic here since I had 3 bigs already)
7 Avery Bradley
8 Gary Harris
9 Marquese Chriss
10 Jamaal Murray
11 Rodney Hood
12 Taurean Prince
13 Josh Richardson
What are your thoughts?
Some notable free agents are Alex Len, TJ Warren, John Collins, Joe Ingles, Kelly Oubre, Moe Harkless, and Tristan Thompson. Thanks!
@Tony C: I like he squad a lot. I’d sit tight
Jeremy Lamb, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Justin Holiday, Hollis-Jefferson, Kris Dunn and Nicolus Batum (there is an IR spot on our roster) too that I am currently not utilizing.
@Tony C: I wouldn’t drop anyone for a player you listed. Sure, stash Batum
