NBA Fantasy Rankings 2019-2020 (top 10 picks)

Here is my list for the first ten picks in the NBA Fantasy Draft Next season. Please let me know what you think, picks 11-20 coming soon…

1	Giannis Antetokounmpo	This might be the easiest choice of the first round. Very rarely do we see MVP’s regress substantially after they win the award. Giannis will also have a chip on his shoulder after losing 4 straight to the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs.
2	Steph Curry	Steph is expected to have a big season next year (especially while his splash brother is on the shelf) Many people have taken Steph out of their top 5 current NBA players. He will be the highest paid player in 2019-2020 seasons, expect him to show his value.
3	Nikolai Jokic	The Joker is the best passing big man in the NBA currently, and probably in history. His ability to affect the game at such an effective rate is rare. He is still young and is a part of great system under Mike Malone.
4	Anthony Davis	AD has been riddled with injuries throughout his career. But he has never played with LBJ. There will be a lot of finishing around the basket for him, and he will also be picking up defensive stats.
5	Karl Anthony Towns	Another big in the top half of the first round. We expect KAT to have a monster season, after only missing 5 games in the past 2 seasons it might be a stretch to pick him this early, but based on the past, is a risk worthy of taking.
6	Joel Embiid	Joel Embiid will have a lot more freedom and shots on the offensive end, but the addition of Al Horford will harm some of his defensive stats. It may be too much of a risk to leave him outside the top 6, after his greatness last season.
7	Bradley Beal	Beal and the Wizards have performed well without the services of John Wall. Expect Beal to put up All Star numbers while trying to prove a point to the NBA, this should be BB’s team.
8	Damian Lillard	Lillard averaged around 25/7/5 on some OK shooting percentages. He seems like he is always seeking more respect, and is never put into the conversation with Westbrook, Curry or Kyrie. This season should be one for the Blazers to start strong, while other top teams in the West had heavy movement. This would be a safe pick.
9	James Harden	James Harden will have one of the biggest challenges this season. A true “all time great” needs to prove that they can be effective in any circumstance. Houston sold off several picks and Chris Paul to get Russ, and it is up to Harden to learn how to win with him, again.
10	LeBron James	This is the lowest ranked we have seen Lebron in a very long time. This is also the first time he would be ranked lower than one of his own teammates. Lebron’s season is going to go 1 of 2 ways, either he will be MVP candidate or, dare I say it, he is going to regress; there is no in between.
