Updated 10/9 - Monta Ellis has been moved out of the top 10.
These rankings should help you prepare for your draft, and spur some debate. Some of these players can play multiple fantasy positions.
Shooting Guard (SG) | Small Forward (SF) | Power Forward (PF) | Center (C) | Sleepers | Draft Guide
Top 10:
1. Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
Paul can score, pass, defend and he’s still improving. CP3 is developing his three point shot, and don’t be surprised if he shoots near 40 percent from behind the arc. For as much as he handles the ball, Paul will only average around 2.5 turnovers a game, his double digit assist average and league leading 217 steals have fantasy owners drooling.
2. Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
The former MVP shoots above 50 percent from the field and 90 percent from the stripe. He also led point guards in three pointers made and was second in assists. Nash had 10 plus assists in 26 of his first 31 games in November and December last year, so head to head owners should appreciate his consistency.
It will be interesting to see how the Suns’ new offense affects his high TO numbers. Warning: Steve Nash does not defend.
3. Baron Davis, Los Angles Clippers
Back in his hometown of LA, B-Diddy will be running a new city, but don’t expect much to change. Although the Clips lost talent in free agency, it should create more dependency on Baron to get things done.
Davis gets in passing lanes, can pick the ball handler and knows how to finish. BD attempted over 525 threes last season, the second highest total in his career.
4. Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets
Although Iverson shares ball handling responsibilities with Anthony Carter, AI is the guard that makes the Nuggets offense go. With a career low 3.0 TO per game, you can stop thinking of Iverson as a liability.
He passes, steals the ball and can score, score, score from all over the court. Last year, the hard nosed guard started all 82 games.
5. Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
