2011-12 NBA: Fantasy Basketball Top 50 Rankings

The National Basketball Association is back. No, it doesn't have the same fanfare as when the NFL returned. In fact, besides the hardcore basketball fans, it wasn't even missed.

When it finally does return you have the Chris Paul trade fiasco.

I'm not exactly thrilled about the NBA right now, but I still enjoy competing in fantasy basketball leagues. I put together my Top 50 fantasy basketball rankings and would like to share them with you.

As always, feel free to discuss any changes you'd make.
