The NBA has opened their training camps. This will be an early version of a cheat sheet for owners to use as a reference for their drafts. The players are ranked loosely based on their relative value. Since there are so many different types of scoring systems used today in fantasy sports, consider your own personal needs when viewing this list. This list should serve simply as a potential guide for the upcoming season. Do not take these players blindly one after the other in your drafts. Please remember to group players according to their ability levels or their relative worth at each position. Be sure to consider the needs of your team and the nuances of the scoring system that your league uses. Also, this list reflects the reality of the fantasy world where many players now qualify at more than one position.
This list will be updated on a periodic basis during the training camp.
