So the NBA is still pretty weird. Case in point – Trey Lyles is a star now, maybe? I, like many of you, had hoped life in the NBA would get back to normal here in 2022, but it’s still pretty wild. Stars are getting injured all over the place,

31. Dennis Smith Jr, Point Guard, New York Knicks Age: 21 As a start of their rebuilding project, the Dallas Mavericks utilized a lottery pick in 2017 on the explosive point guard from Fayetteville, NC. All of the tools DSJ exhibited to get stamped with the “freak athlete” label coming

  De’Aaron Fox, Point Guard, Sacramento Kings Age: 21 Few players made a bigger jump in value last season than the Kings’ second-year point guard.

I tried to call out when note-worthy tweaks are in order between formats (e.g. H2H vs. roto and 8-cat vs. 9-cat). If you don’t own KAT or Giannis, they’re guys I would be

A younger, more energetic version of me might have made this an April Fool’s post. Instead, it’s just a regular ‘ol ranking. This will be the last #Dynasty200 update of the season, but looking forward to an offseason of rookie ranks, Digging for Diamonds posts, FA value changers and then

A quick primer on these #Dynasty200 ranks for newcomers: These are designed with 9-category, H2H leagues in mind. If you play in a roto league, I recommend fading the category ruiners like Dwight Howard. If you play in an 8-category league, you can give a bump to volume guys with massive

This basketball season has been a mixed bag for me personally. On the one hand, it’s been a blast watching Giannis blossom, Harden and Westbrook dominate and Chris Paul continue to be masterful. On the other hand, it’s become increasingly clear that it’ll take a miracle or an injury (or
