Every Monday, for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season, we will rank the top 200 players in fantasy basketball, intending to project where they’ll finish.
For the first edition of these rankings, placing players such as Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (who hasn’t played at all this season), Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, and 76ers guard Jared McCain (both out indefinitely) was a bit difficult. However, they’ve been ranked under the assumption that they will all play at some point this season.
Below are the rankings, with the top-three being no surprise to anyone.
