8-CAT ADP +/- NAME NOTES 9-CAT ADP +/- 1 7 6 Stephen Curry A mild improvement over last year gets him here. 1 4 3 2 2 0 Giannis Antetokounmpo I put no ceiling on his NBA future. At all. 2 5 3 3 5 2 Kevin Durant A great find in the top-5 of drafts. 3 2 -1 4 4 -1 James Harden Chris Paul hurts but not as much as one might think. 5 4 -2 5 7 2 Karl-Anthony Towns A huge step forward could put him No. 1. Steep odds. 4 7 3 6 2 -4 Russell Westbrook Still in his prime, can he keep being Superman though. 11 2 -10 7 14 7 Nikola Jokic Hoop Ball's 2016 son; his profit margin has been destroyed. 6 12 6 8 7 -1 Kawhi Leonard Quad on radar but correct to rate as precaution (10/15) 7 8 1 9 15 6 Chris Paul A slight edge over LBJ; maybe Mike D can light a spark. 8 14 6 10 6 -4 LeBron James A safer play in the back-end of Round 1. 15 8 -7 11 11 -1 John Wall Also a safe play in the back of Round 1. 23 11 -12 12 7 -5 Anthony Davis His numbers will be challenged by Cousins/Rondo. 9 7 -2 13 17 4 Jimmy Butler Should be the man; will the good teammates help or hurt? 10 18 8 14 17 3 Damian Lillard Continuity in Portland; he's still hungry as all hell. 13 17 4 15 18 3 Paul George The Westbrook deal helps stabilize OKC/fantasy values 14 16 2 16 14 -2 Kyrie Irving Expectations should help fuel a big fantasy campaign. 17 14 -3 17 27 10 Myles Turner Going ahead of Dray because of the upside potential. 12 27 15 18 24 6 Draymond Green One of the safest plays you will find in Round 2. 16 21 5 19 37 18 Joel Embiid Has been going R2/3, better play if team needs 'pop' 27 29 2 20 24 4 Kemba Walker Consistent as they get; won't reach high into top-20 19 23 4 21 28 7 Kyle Lowry Injury concerns but doesn't have to work hard to get here. 26 24 -2 22 14 -8 DeMarcus Cousins If he isn't locked into the post this could get worse. 28 14 -14 23 22 -1 CJ McCollum Pretty much fully leveraged, but a very safe play. 24 27 3 24 25 1 Kristaps Porzingis Injury concerns but some upside beyond this rank, too. 18 22 4 25 14 -11 Rudy Gobert Only real risk is typical big man block decreases. 20 15 -5 26 42 16 Eric Bledsoe Some risk of PHO tanking; a trade would hurt too. 36 36 -1 27 27 -1 Klay Thompson Rock solid production and durability. Safe as they get. 21 28 7 28 23 -5 Gordon Hayward Some frictional challenges, big opportunity in Boston. 29 26 -3 29 17 -13 Hassan Whiteside Has to get back to defense but priced right here. 22 19 -3 30 33 3 Mike Conley The only risk is the Grizz won't take chances on injuries. 31 28 -3 31 37 6 Paul Millsap Age, less touches are issues; but efficiency could be a boon. 30 42 12 32 35 3 Khris Middleton Still flying under the radar; great stat set, looked good late. 35 40 5 33 44 11 Jeff Teague Could go higher if Thibs really hits the throttle. 41 47 6 34 35 1 Marc Gasol Same issues as Conley; old guy on young team. 34 33 -1 35 27 -8 Bradley Beal Beal shirked injury issues last year, can he do it again? 33 32 -1 36 29 -7 DeMar DeRozan Still so much fuel to improve; safe play in late early rds. 38 30 -8 37 45 8 Otto Porter In his prime and needs to earn that $$$. 25 44 19 38 66 28 Victor Oladipo This is the safe zone for Oladipo. 50 60 10 39 47 8 Al Horford Should be on autopilot for this type of value. 32 48 16 40 38 -2 Kevin Love It got crowded all of a sudden in Cleveland. 37 36 -2 41 90 49 Taurean Prince Sneaky offense, all the tools for fantasy owners, big mpg. 39 143 104 42 61 19 Ricky Rubio Interchangeable with a few guys below him in 8-cat rank. 55 46 -9 43 50 7 Goran Dragic He'd be higher if the Heat weren't so deep at guard. 64 38 -26 44 46 2 Brook Lopez Should be fine in L.A.; injury risk but healthy lately. 46 40 -6 45 41 -4 Jusuf Nurkic He's pretty leveraged this high in ranks; injury risk. 62 48 -14 46 49 3 Dennis Schroder Will be an 8-cat monster; efficiency on bad team an issue. 92 53 -39 47 79 32 James Johnson A lot of value here; has bought into Heat culture. 54 90 36 48 42 -6 Devin Booker All the opportunity in the world, can he be efficient? 87 45 -42 49 97 48 Gary Harris Needs to prove he can stay healthy; solid fit in Denver. 40 93 53 50 53 3 D'Angelo Russell Tough to bet on big step forward w/ new squad deep at G. 90 64 -26 51 56 5 Jrue Holiday Turned corner on injury issues a bit; Rondo hurts 52 52 52 56 4 Elfrid Payton Big second half last year; just needs to keep foot on gas. 66 71 5 53 91 38 Tim Hardaway Jr Was going to be featured perimeter scorer regardless 77 92 15 54 58 4 Nikola Vucevic I wonder about a slowdown, but mostly solid here. 51 54 3 55 90 35 Aaron Gordon Some upside beyond this, but still has a lot to prove. 43 98 55 56 66 10 Isaiah Thomas Only this high for chance he beats timetable. High risk. 53 29 -24 57 66 9 Clint Capela Efficiency next to CP3/Harden could go through roof. 42 69 27 58 75 17 Tobias Harris Safe play with some upside if DET ever frees him up. 45 65 20 59 60 1 Gorgui Dieng Backup role not a death knell. 49 83 34 60 121 61 Joe Ingles Smokin' Joe has a great stat set and underrated talent. 57 125 68 61 70 9 Julius Randle If he takes a small step forward he lands here. 94 74 -20 62 101 39 Malcolm Brogdon Giannis/Khris to keep him in check, but good young player 63 88 25 63 59 -4 Serge Ibaka Safe play in this range. Not much upside though. 48 51 3 64 140 76 Richaun Holmes Injury will help chill his ADP, main risk is slow start. 47 147 100 65 65 0 Robert Covington Money counting stat monster. Old regime though. 59 67 8 66 85 19 George Hill Injury concerns; Kings youth hold his rank back. 67 79 12 67 116 49 Nikola Mirotic Frontcourt logjam holding this rank back a bit. 60 128 68 68 113 45 Nerlens Noel If we get signs he can handle minutes, he goes higher. 58 75 17 69 98 29 Guillermo Hernangomez A bit aggressive with this rank, but deservedly so. 72 98 26 70 43 -27 Andrew Wiggins Not betting on a massive change; incremental improvement. 103 52 -51 71 66 -5 Harrison Barnes Mid-round plodder with solid floor. 56 63 7 72 50 -22 Nicolas Batum Injury drops him but still could eke out mid-round value 79 52 -27 73 86 13 Steven Adams FT shooting really faded; might watch a lot on offense 68 89 21 74 110 36 Allen Crabbe Crabbe is good. Nets need him to be. That's not a haiku. 88 138 50 75 82 7 Marquese Chriss Big Sauce injury didn't hurt; money counting stat set. 114 113 -1 76 70 -6 Trevor Ariza No knock on him, but depth etching away at his value. 44 65 21 77 114 37 Thaddeus Young Would put him higher if not for stat set and trade potential. 82 123 41 78 68 -10 Dwyane Wade Fluid rank, could be moved, this is fairly aggressive. 113 81 -32 79 95 16 Greg Monroe Moose has some hidden upside; can cruise to this rank. 80 106 26 80 113 33 Darren Collison Fresh start could be big for him; good situation in Indy. 105 112 7 81 140 59 Justin Holiday Biggest beneficiary of the Wade departure. 76 130 54 82 31 -51 Blake Griffin Stat set issues, injury risk, don't @ me. 91 36 -56 83 120 37 Kelly Olynyk Whiteside durability issues alone push KO up the ranks. 69 137 68 84 122 38 Kent Bazemore It all comes down to the knee; plenty of opportunity. 108 120 12 85 55 -30 Andre Drummond Roto rank but he's slipping in cats people punt for too. 85 53 -33 86 96 10 Lou Williams Different team, same story for late-round Lou. 106 73 -33 87 42 -45 DeAndre Jordan Roto rank but he's slipping in cats people punt for too. 70 44 -26 88 91 3 Marcin Gortat Getting up there in age; lack of C depth could push him up. 65 67 2 89 95 6 Markieff Morris Watch off court stuff, but fairly stable and good value.
