Over the last six seasons, Lillard has averaged 27.3 points, 7.0 dimes, 4.4 boards, 1.0 steal and 3.4 triples while shooting 44.3/38.2/90.8 splits and turning the ball over less than three times. That should change in 2021 after another dominant performance last season. It’s hard to imagine, but Dame has been undervalued in fantasy hoops over the last few years. His biggest knocks are turnovers and FT%, but slight improvements in those categories give him No. He carried Dallas on his back to a Game 7 showdown with the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, and he led Slovenia to a quarterfinal appearance in the Olympics. Over the last two seasons, Doncic has averaged 28.3 points, 8.7 dimes and 8.7 boards while posting some monster triple-doubles and signature games in the process.
One of basketball’s biggest stars should open the season as an MVP favorite after what he’s been able to accomplish in his brief NBA career. Curry will have to put this team on his back yet again, so I would expect plenty of monstrous stat lines in 2021-22. Golden State gets a little help in the scoring department with the addition of Otto Porter, but I’m not counting on Klay Thompson playing at anywhere close to 100% after being off for the better part of two seasons. Last season, Chef Curry led the league in scoring (32.0 PPG) and made 3-pointers (5.3 p/g) while racking up over five rebounds and assists per contest. 1, so if you prefer him over Jokic, I can’t fault you. There’s a clear argument to be made for Curry at No. The only other player who could challenge him for this honor is Steph Curry, but Jokic’s triple-double upside gives him the edge for me. The reigning MVP has a unique skillset as a point center that should place him atop the fantasy rankings for the 2021-22 season. Most incredibly, he did all of this from the center position.
The Joker wasn’t kidding around when he stepped on the court last season, averaging a monstrous 26/10/8 while nailing 1.3 triples and shooting 56.6% from the field. I’ll be updating these throughout the offseason. These are my early top 150 for 9-category leagues featuring a short blurb on each player.
