It’s that time of year, folks. The 2015-16 NBA season tips off in less than three weeks.
Listed below are my official top-120 overall ranks for the 2015-16 campaign.
Please note: These rankings are based on nine-category fantasy scoring leagues that account for points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, three-pointers made, turnovers, field goal percentage and free throw percentage. (The rankings for five-category leagues would look far different, especially for particular players with major flaws in categories such as free-throw shooting or turnovers.)
