Below are our rankings for the 2008-09 Fantasy hoops season. These rankings are a combination of statistical data and opinion, so they might not necessarily match up exactly with our projections. We've taken our projections for Head-to-Head formats and mixed in editorial analysis.
During the season, consider these rankings as a reference point when looking at free-agent
pickups or possible trades. Injuries are accounted for, although some
players expected to return after three or four months might not be
represented here at all.
