Preseason is officially under way as we are just short of 2 weeks until the official tip-off to the NBA season. Many fascinating story lines and changing landscapes in the NBA, fantasy basketball is going to be a fun ride.
In case you missed my full coverage of fantasy basketball:
This lists consists of how I feel on a fantasy perspective. I have broken it down to tiers, to best further measure each players positional value:
Tier I: Elite of the Elite
Tier IA: Not Far Behind
Tier II: High-End Starters
Tier III: Productive Stars
Tier IV: Above-Average Starters
Tier V: Steady Veterans and Young Unknowns
Tier VI: Late-Round Fliers
Please note, I base my rankings on 9-category leagues, and I factor in injuries (Isaiah Thomas isn't on this list), opportunities, roles, upside, and also proven history. This is not to say Russell Westbrook is a better player than LeBron James, nor do I believe Nikola Jokic is a better player than Chris Paul, etc.
*League Settings: Yahoo! Head-to-Head 9-categories: Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, 3-Pointers, FG%, FT%, and Turnovers.
