NBA ESPN Fantasy League: Power Rankings (Week 1:Start to Nov 22)

Jason Kidd, Wilson Chandler, and Devin Harris were “temporarily” booted out from the rankings.

With that said, I want to maximize my games wisely. My core starting unit is solid but the problem is they only play three quarters because their teams are so damn good. Yes, I have Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan in my lineup and it’s hard to depend on their services when the teams lined up for them are patsy squads.

Anyway, here are the Top 50 for this week.

The stats covered this week seem a bit credible. There was an almost Chris Bosh sighting but perhaps this can be a reality next week.

In my fantasy league, I hope the adjustments I made should be enough to give a semblance of moving up to the ranks. My stock has been floating from second to fifth and I seriously need to break out from the crowd.

Until next week...

Game over.
