Fantasy Basketball Top 100 Rankings

Brad Leibfried ranks the top 100 NBA players for the 2016-17 fantasy basketball season. Follow RotoBaller for more strategy, rankings, sleepers, and more.

You've spent so much time in the last couple weeks drafting your fantasy football teams and tinkering with your team in advance of the NFL opener.  I hope you had A.J. Green this weekend, like all of my opponents did.  But draft season for fantasy football is over.  It's time to start thinking about your next fantasy draft, for the upcoming NBA season.  So let's start talking about Draymond Green instead of A.J. Green.

Here's our first full top 100 for the 2016-17 fantasy basketball season from RotoBaller writer Brad Leibfried.  He's all aboard the Karl-Anthony Towns hype train and ready to start steaming into the NBA season.
