Who says it’s too early to draft for fantasy hoops? Recently, I gathered eleven well respected fantasy basketball analysts to join me in an early off-season mock draft. It’s always interesting to see how player values change from the middle of the off-season to prime fantasy draft season in October. Here,

Fantasy basketball dynasty rankings are a fickle thing. Much of it comes down to personal preference, a particular affinity towards certain statistics, or even just watching a player and saying ‘I don’t think he’s that good now or will be in the future’. The basis of these rankings is 8-category

Rodney Hood The Fantasy Fix’s Zack Rewis has already mentioned this guy (multiple times I might add, jeez get a room Zack), but I’m going to bat him lead-off for this column (wait I wrote about him for the Fixies too…oh well). Hood showed what he was capable of during

JJ Redick I know I’ve used this before as have countless others, but JJ has been redickulous lately. Sure, Blake Griffin has returned which has helped open the perimeter up for Redick, while Chris Paul has been playing insanely good lately, but Redick has been the unsung hero in the

Nicolas Batum There are very few players in basketball capable of putting up the variety of stats this fantasy friendly Frenchman frequently produces. When healthy and involved with the offense, he is truly a unique fantasy contributor because of his combination of rebounds, assists, steals, threes and free throw percentage

But Leonard, fresh off a Finals MVP performance to end 2013-14, was being talked about as taking ‘the leap’ in fantasy circles, whereas you could argue Davis had already made that ascension

Isaiah Canaan The Philadelphia 76ers are seemingly playing draft pick monopoly, accruing future firsts at an unheard of rate. Out the door was counting stats guru but shooting averse (Rookie of the Year no less) Michael Carter-Williams, into the fire is Isaiah Canaan. Coming out of the NBA hotbed of

Joakim Noah Joakim Noah’s season never seems to really start until the Bulls really need him. Amidst a horror 14 game stretch where they’ve won just 5 games, the Bulls are desperate to stick with the suddenly surging Cleveland Cavaliers (winners of 10 straight), and it will be up to

Victor Oladipo The Magic aren’t going anywhere this season, but it won’t be Oladipo’s fault. After starting the season on the sidelines with a facial fracture suffered in practice before the season even started, Dipo did very little to get any of his optimistic followers (cough me cough) excited even

Jusuf Nurkic The Nuggets’ big (really big) rookie pivot has carved out a large chunk of Timofey Mozgov’s minutes to warrant your attention on the fantasy front. He had an outstanding preseason and even got a mention in the first edition of Box Score Browsing as well as a mention
