Top 15 NBA Players Overall
1. Kevin Garnett MIN
2003-04 FV: 61.0
2002-03 FV: 55.8
Clearly the best all around fantasy player in the league. While last season appears to be tough to top, you can't rule it out.
2. Tim Duncan SAS
2003-04 FV: 52.7
2002-03 FV: 52.5
In all likelihood, Duncan will have a better season than last. The best year of his career is ahead of him, not behind.
3. Shaquille O'Neal MIA
2003-04 FV: 47.8
2002-03 FV: 51.3
Shaq is very happy to be in Miami and he is taking this season very seriously. And his numbers will be strong playing C in the East.
4. Tracy McGrady HOU
2003-04 FV: 48.6
2002-03 FV: 53.6
Having Yao Ming around will not hurt McGrady's production, it will only help.
5. Kobe Bryant LAL
2003-04 FV: 43.5
2002-03 FV: 52.8
Its Kobe's team now and his stats are going to trend back up.
6. Elton Brand LAC
2003-04 FV: 45.8
2002-03 FV: 43.8
Always an injury risk. If he puts together a full season, he is this good.
7. Dirk Nowitzki DAL
2003-04 FV: 44.5
2002-03 FV: 47.4
Dirk will be able to focus on playing his game this season.
8. Jermaine O'Neal IND
2003-04 FV: 44.6
2002-03 FV: 43.2
He is the franchise in Indiana. And you need to grab your Centers early.
9. Stephon Marbury NYY
2003-04 FV: 41.9
2002-03 FV: 40.8
We think Marbury will be this year's Baron Davis. We think his fantasy stats will climb into the mid/upper 40's.
10. Baron Davis NOR
2003-04 FV: 46.4
2002-03 FV: 35.7
Does Baron have the energy to carry this team again?
11. Andrei Kirilenko UTA
2003-04 FV: 43.4
2002-03 FV: 29.9
Kirilenko does not stand out and his value often slips by off the radar. But, Kirilenko has jumped to the top of fantasy sheets.
12. Paul Pierce BOS
2003-04 FV: 42.2
2002-03 FV: 44.8
Pierce tailed off last season as defenses zeroed in on him. But Pierce is a strong competitor and a very safe pick.
13. Allen Iverson PHI
2003-04 FV: 44.5
2002-03 FV: 45.8
This is a big season for Iverson. Will he continue to tail off, or can he bounce back?
14. Ben Wallace DET
2003-04 FV: 42.9
2002-03 FV: 41.2
If your league emphasizes scoring, he shouldn't be ranked this high. If your league rewards all around games (most do), Wallace's blocks, steals, and rebounds produce big numbers.
15. LeBron James CLE
2003-04 FV: 39.5
2002-03 FV: 0.0
No limit to his upside, but still has something to prove for fantasy owners (especially in terms of consistency).
