Welcome to The Sports Watchers first edition of Fantasy Basketball Rankings. We will start by introducing you to how we will approach giving you advice for your fantasy team selections.
TheSportsWatchers.com's Fantasy Basketball Rankings are intended to help you play the players who will help you win the most. Sometimes, these are not always the big name players, but the players who are hot, have a long stretch of favorable match-ups or those who are getting more and more playing t 
ime. Whatever the reason is, we will let you know.
So using our rankings can give you a good idea of who insert in that fantasy basketball lineup for as long as a week or for even a month. It can clue you in on sleepers. Alternatively, it can help you bench a player who is slowly becoming less and less productive as the season wears on.
Here's the first batch, and make sure you check out our lists for individual positions as well.
Note: Our stats are based on Yahoo default scoring, with the exception of the removal of the "turnover category" in favor of the "assists to turnover ration" category.
1. Kobe Bryant - He might not be a Laker for too long, but wherever he goes, he will still be productive scoring the ball and playing defense, and he will always get you 5+ rebounds per game.
2. ShawnMarion - He is the least heralded of the top 5 players on this list, but he fills up a stat sheet. He always shoots over 50%, which will certainly help your fantasy team, and his free throw percentage is over 80% as well. He will also drop in about one 3-pointer per game at a decent percentage. And of course, there are the 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1-2 blocks per game he will give your team.
3. Dirk Nowitzki - He is the reigning MVP. His main stats include putting up 25 points per game to with his 9 rebounds. He also shoots 50% from the field and 41% from the 3-point land.
4. KevinGarnett - Some might think his production will drop now that he has 2 other ball hoggers around him, but he has never been reliant upon scoring and he has been filling up the stat sheet all pre-season.
